Porrerus is a genus of antlions belonging to the family Myrmeleontidae. [1]
The species of this genus are found in South America and the Caribbean. [1]
The following species are recognised in the genus Porrerus: [1]
Mantispidae, known commonly as mantidflies, mantispids, mantid lacewings, mantisflies or mantis-flies, is a family of small to moderate-sized insects in the order Neuroptera. There are many genera with around 400 species worldwide, especially in the tropics and subtropics. Only five species of Mantispa occur in Europe. As their names suggest, members of the group possess raptorial forelimbs similar to those of the praying mantis, a case of convergent evolution.
Argia is a genus of damselflies of the family Coenagrionidae and of the subfamily Argiinae. It is a diverse genus which contains about 114 species and many more to be described. It is also the largest genus in Argiinae. They are found in the Western Hemisphere. They are commonly known as dancers. Although the genus name comes from Ancient Greek: ἀργία, romanized: argia, lit. 'laziness', dancers are quite active and alert damselflies. The bluer Argia species may be confused with Enallagma species.
Osmylidae are a small family of winged insects of the net-winged insect order Neuroptera. The osmylids, also called lance lacewings, stream lacewings or giant lacewings, are found all over the world except North and Central America. There are around 225 extant species.
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 nine extant genera.
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.
Macrothemis is a genus of dragonfly in the family Libellulidae, also known as Sylphs. It contains the following species:
Chrysopini is a tribe of green lacewings in the family Chrysopidae. There are about 32 genera and 926 described species in Chrysopini.
Paragnetina is a genus of common stoneflies in the family Perlidae. There are at least 20 described species in Paragnetina.
Glenurus is a genus of antlions in the family Myrmeleontidae and typical of the tribe Glenurini. There are about 12 described species in Glenurus.
Nallachius is a genus of pleasing lacewings in the family Dilaridae. There are more than 20 described species in Nallachius.
Scotoleon is a genus of antlions in the family Myrmeleontidae. There are more than 20 described species in Scotoleon.
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.
Ameromyia is a genus of antlions belonging to the family Myrmeleontidae.
Bullanga 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.
Syngenes is a genus of antlions belonging to the family Myrmeleontidae.
Campion is a genus of mantisflies belonging to the subfamily Mantispinae.
