Ábrahám L.: Ascalaphid studies X. Maezous maezousi sp. n. –a new ascalphid species from the Philppines (Neuroptera: Ascalphidae)
Ábrahám L.: Ascalaphid studies X. 63 netically diverse area due to the strong fragmentation of the Indo-Malaysian region. The ascalaphid fauna is partly characterized with wide distributed species like Helicomitus piacidus and Protacheron philippinensis however there are large number of taxa that may be endemic like Protidricerus irene, Malesianus harisi, Maezous maezousi sp.n. Based on the number and distribution of the species known in the Indo-Malaysian region, it seems to be the core area of the genus Maezous Ábrahám, 2008. The distinct Maezuos species show significant differences in the colour of clypeus and labrum, in the shape and pattem of apical area of wings and in the shape of male ectoproct and in the pattem of stemites either.
