Remarks: This is the type species of the genus and the only one species in the genus is known from Africa. Distribution'. It was collected in Algeria (Navás 1912b), Tunisia (Güsten 2002, 2003) and new species for the fauna of Morocco. The Moroccan recording sites are characterized by warm desert climate.

Remarks: Michel & Mansell (2010) revised Ganguilus Navás, 1912, redescribed and illustrated Ganguilus pallescens in detail and gave a key for the species. Distribution: It is a widely distributed species from the Saharan and Subsaharan zone and Arabian Peninsula (Michel & Mansell 2010).

Remarks: In Morocco, it was recorded at the end of June on warm desert climatic influenced area. Distribution: It is known from coastal countries of the Mediterranean Sea (Aspöck et al. 2001, Stange 2004). Moroccan occurrence was revealed by Navás (1913a).

Remarks: It was taxonomically dubious species (Aspöck et al. 2001). Navás’s (1912b) description is short and concise but too general and no figured. In the diagnosis, it was compared to Neuroleon nemausiensis, which is similar to this species in the measurement and wing pattern. This species can be easily recognized from the Distoleon species spreading in Nord Africa on the basis of size, narrower wings, long and weak legs and length of tibial spurs. After description, Navás (1913a) also described a new species from Morocco as Formicoleo divisus Navás, 1913, which is a new junior synonym of Neuroleon cuigneti (Navás, 1912). Type material of Formicoleo divisus Navás, 1913, peserved in MNCN, Madrid was checked. Güsten (2003) gave a short description of Neuroleon cuigneti (Navás, 1912) and confirmed the high degree of similarity to Distoleon divisus (Navás, 1913) without changing the status. Morphological point of view, the type of Distoleon divisus (Navás, 1913) is not variable to be treated as a separate species.
