Myrmeleontinae is a subfamily of Myrmeleontidae, the antlions. [1]
BioLib includes 3 tribes:
Selected genera:
The antlions are a group of about 2,000 species of insect in the neuropteran family Myrmeleontidae. They are known for the predatory habits of their larvae, which mostly dig pits to trap passing ants or other prey. In North America, the larvae are sometimes referred to as doodlebugs because of the marks they leave in the sand. The adult insects are less well known due to their relatively short lifespans compared to the larvae. Adults, sometimes known as antlion lacewings, mostly fly at dusk or after dark and may be mistakenly identified as dragonflies or damselflies.
Neopanorpa is a paraphyletic genus of around 170 species of scorpionfly in Southeast Asia, nesting the genus Leptopanorpa.
Panorpa is a genus of scorpion-flies that is widely dispersed, especially in the Northern Hemisphere. However, they do not occur in western North America. Thirteen species occur in eastern Canada.
Alderflies are megalopteran insects of the family Sialidae. They are closely related to the dobsonflies and fishflies as well as to the prehistoric Euchauliodidae. All living alderflies – about 66 species all together – are part of the subfamily Sialinae, which contains between one and seven extant genera according to different scientists' views.
Chrysopinae is the nominate subfamily of green lacewings in the insect family Chrysopidae in the order Neuroptera. This subfamily is also the largest within the family and comprises about 60 genera.
Bittacus is a genus of hangingflies in the order Mecoptera. Members of the genus have a cosmopolitan distribution. The genus has existed since at least the earliest Late Cretaceous. Bittacus is considered "grossly paraphyletic" and serves as a catch-all for many distantly related species of hangingflies.
Palparini is an antlion tribe in the subfamily Palparinae.
Myrmeleontini is an antlion tribe in the subfamily Myrmeleontinae.
Dendroleontinae is a subfamily of Myrmeleontidae, the antlions.
Dendroleontini is a tribe in the antlion subfamily Dendroleontinae.
The Nemoleontinae are a subfamily of ant-lions, erected by Nathan Banks in 1911.
Nemoleontini is an antlion tribe in the subfamily Myrmeleontinae.
Macronemurini is a tribe within the family Myrmeleontidae, the ant-lions.
Chrysopini is a tribe of green lacewings in the family Chrysopidae. There are about 32 genera and 926 described species in Chrysopini.
Nusalala is a genus of brown lacewings. The scientific name was published in 1913 by Longinos Navás. They belong to the subfamily Microminae, as well as the genera Micromus and Megalomina.
Some species of this genus, such as Nusalala brachyptera, are "brachypter" meaning short wings, and have lost the ability to fly; they can only jump. This phenomenon has evolved in a number of genera in the family Hemerobiidae
Mantispa is the type genus of insects in the family Mantispidae and subfamily Mantispinae. Species have a fairly worldwide distribution.
Bankisus is a genus of antlions belonging to the family Myrmeleontidae.
Eremoleon is a genus of antlions belonging to the family Myrmeleontidae. The species of this genus are found from the southern United States to Central America.
The Brachynemurinae are a subfamily of ant-lions, erected by Nathan Banks in 1927.
