ÁBRAHÁM, L. & DOBOSZ, D.: ANT-LION AND OWL-FLY FAUNA OF MADAGASCAR 117 island, probably, these specimens were misidentified by KLAPÁLEK (1913) and FRASER (1951b). The examined material from Madagascar preserved in the both collections (SCMK and USMB) belonged to only one and same Cueta species consequently all Cueta species from Madagascar need to be revised in the future. Distribution: Prov. Antananarivo, Antsiranana, Fianarantsoa, Mahajanga, Toliara.

Comment: It is the genotype species of Macroleon Banks, 1909 later he designated this genus as a subgenus (BANKS 1911). It is an endemic species recorded in the whole area of the island. FRASER (1951C) mentioned data of the species from Senegal but those specimens may belong to Myrmeleon quinquemaculatus Hagen, 1853 which is a widespread in the central part of Africa. Distribution: Prov. Fianarantsoa, Toliara, Toamasina.

Comment: This species is considerably smaller than the previous Myrmeleon sp. One of the most common Myrmeleon species is known almost all over in Africa (

STANGE 2004). Myrmeleon obscurus (Navás, 1912) from South America (

STANGE 2004) is a junior homonym of Myrmeleon obscurus Rambur 1842. Distribution: Prov. Antsiranana, Mahajanga, Toliara, Toamasina.
