[email protected] Robert B. Miller Florida State Collection of Arthropods Gainesville, Florida, U.S.A. Abstract. Nine species of Navasoleon (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae: Nemoleontini) are recognized in the present work with the description of seven new species: N. amazonas Stange, N. brasiliensis Miller, N. egeri Stange, N. lithophilus Miller, N. lotti Stange, N. tarsalis Miller, and N. venezolanus Stange. Navasoleon bosqui (Navás) is designated a nomen dubium. A key to the species is provided as well as to the genera of Nemoleontini with closing pretarsal claws. The larvae of two species are described and keyed with biological notes. Biological data presented in Miller and Stange (1985), erroneously attributed to N. bolivianus (Banks), has now been corrected to N. lithophilus. Included in this treatise are 71 color photographs including photos of male and female terminalia, male genitalia, and two species of larvae. Key words.

Introduction The genus Navasoleon Banks differs from all other new world groups of antlions by having the foreleg elongate, usually much longer than the hindleg and midleg. The pretarsal claws can close against the setal brush on the ventral surface of the distal tarsomere. This South American genus is unusual as the larvae live on bare rock (Miller and Stange 1985). The larvae are ascalaphid-like in appearance, with abdominal scolus-like processes and with the mandibular teeth placed distally. Nine rather uncommonly collected species are known and are classified in three species groups based on leg structure, wing venation and female terminalia. The species appear to have restricted distributions suggesting that more species will probably be found in other areas. Descriptions and keys to the species are provided as well as biological notes. Also, a key to the genera of Nemoleontini with folding pretarsal claws is provided. Materials and Methods Adult terminology is based on Stange (1970a) and larval terminology on Badano and Pantaleoni (2014). Larvae were preserved in 75 percent ethanol after treatment with KAAD larval fixative (solution made from kerosene, ethyl alcohol, glacial acetic acid and dioxane). A machinist’s caliper was used to
2 • Insecta MundI 0619, April 2018 Stange and Miller make measurements of adult wings and body length. Most photos of larvae were made from preserved specimens, which lack the natural coloration seen in live material. Photographs of adults and larvae were taken using an Auto Montage (Leica Z16 APO) zoom lens attached to a JVC 3-CCD digital camera (KY-F75U)), and montaged with syncroscopy Automontage software. Images of adult antlions were captured from pinned specimens. Male genitalia, after clearing in KOH and dissection, were photographed under ethanol submerged cover slips to prevent movement. After study and photographs, the genitalia were stored in microvials in glycerin associated with pinned specimens. Female terminalia, after clearing in KOH, were placed in petri dishes and covered with a microscope slide, where they were then photographed after correct positioning had been achieved. Preserved larvae were photographed under ethanol submerged microscope slides. Photographs were electronically enhanced and cleaned up using the Picasa program. Use of this program on terminalia was found to bring out visual contrast between tissues better than the use of chemical dyes. Measurements of the body and wing lengths are based on FSCA specimens, and were taken as accurately as possible given logistical challenges. Coloration characters provided are generally limited in extent in deference to the color photos, which provide much better detail than words. Six-dram plastic snap cap vials, ¾ internally lined with coarse dark blue craft paper, were used for field collecting and rearing because they provided a good gripping surface for the larvae. Papers could be slid out of the vials and attached to the wall of a Styrofoam cup emergence chamber after construction of the cocoon. Twenty-nine adult and two larval specimens studied are deposited in the following institutions: INPA Coleção Sistematica dea Entomologia, Instituto Nacional dea Pesquisas dea Amazonia, Manaus, Brazil MACN Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales, Buenos Aires, R.

Larva (Fig. 65–69). Mandible with three teeth, which arise well anterior to midpoint of mandible; tooth 2 closer to 3 than to 1; head capsule with long, fine white hair laterally; body flattened with metathorax with 2 pairs of scolus-like processes that are much longer than wide; abdomen with scolus-like process on segments 1–7; hindpretarsal claws less than twice as long as mesothoracic pretarsal claws; spiracles not borne on tubercles; sternite 8 without odontoid process; sternite 9 with small stout setae posteriorly. Biology (after Miller and Stange 1985). The larvae of two species have been found and reared: Navasoleon lithophilus Miller in Peru and N. venezolanus Stange in Venezuela. Both live on smooth, clean rock surfaces where they are oriented head downward or are completely horizontal on the ceiling within meters of each other whereas nearby and apparently suitable rocks were devoid of larvae. Navasoleon lithophilus was misidentified as Navasoleon bolivianus (Banks) in Miller and Stange (1985). Zoogeography. The species are localized. Five species are known from only one locality whereas N. leptocerus (Navás) is known only from the contiguous states of La Rioja and Catamarca in Argentina and N. tarsalis Miller from the nearby states of Falcon and Guarico in Venezuela. N. brasiliensis Miller occurs in three fairly separated states of Brazil. The leptocerus group is widespread in South America occurring in Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, and Venezuela. Two species occur in Argentina, one in arid areas (N. leptocerus) and the other in cloud forests (N. lotti Stange). Two species occur in Venezuela, N. tarsalis and N. venezolanus Stange. Discussion. Species of Navasoleon are known only from South America where nine uncommon species are recognized. They are sorted into three species group based on adult morphology. The leptocerus group consists of five morphologically similar species. Two species of this group are known from larvae. The brasiliensis group differs notably from the leptocerus group in the relatively shorter foreleg, wing venation and female terminalia. The male genitalia of N. brasiliensis are unique in structure. These species are tentatively referred to Navasoleon but future discoveries of the larvae and genome analysis may not support this classification. The tarsalis group consists of one species with strange female terminalia and with different leg modifications. The midtibia is swollen and the tarsomeres of both the midleg and hindleg are weakly flattened. List of species *larva known brasiliensis group 1. Navasoleon amazonas Stange 2.

Discussion. The three species comprising this group have the foreleg no longer than the hindleg and the ventral setae on the distal tarsomere are not hooked apically. Also, two species have dark spots on the forewing. The female posterior gonapophysis are greatly expanded. The highly modified male genitalia of N. amazonas are unique in the genus. The discovery of larvae and genome analysis of the species may remove this group from Navasoleon. Navasoleon amazonas Stange, new species Figures 1, 10, 19, 28, 29, 38, 47, 53 Type locality.

14 • Insecta MundI 0619, April 2018 Stange and Miller protruding from the cocoon by its partially expanded abdomen, the end of which is firmly in the cocoon. The body protrudes from the cocoon at an angle of about 15 degrees down from the horizontal. The head, antennae, and legs are held for about an hour in the same position as when they were in the pupal skin. At the end of this interval the legs have hardened sufficiently to grasp the wall or cocoon, climb it, and finish expanding the abdomen and expanding the wings. Species in other studied genera were able to use the legs shortly after getting free of the pupal skin. Discussion. The larva is ascalaphid-like in structure with a weakly cordate head, ten pairs of scoluslike processes, hind pretarsal claws only somewhat larger than mesothoracic pretarsal claws, elongate mandible with teeth beyond middle and flattened appearance. The only other known Navasoleon larva, N. venezolanus, moves more frequently than does N. lithophilus and has one scolus–like process on abdominal segment one as opposed to the two found on N. lithophilus. Etymology. The species name, litho (Greek for rock) and philus (Greek for loving), is in recognition of the rock-loving nature of the larvae.

The larval biology and adult emergence of this species is basically like that of N. lithophilus except that, under laboratory conditions, Navasoleon venezolanus is changing feeding position frequently whereas N. lithophilus is remaining motionless for weeks at a time. Discussion. This species may be separated from others by where vein CuP+1A meets the hind margin of the forewing, the clavate antennae, lack of wing markings, and markings on the pronotum and head vertex. Etymology. This species is named for the country of origin. Pretarsal claws The ability of the pretarsal claws to close upon the ventral surface of the distal tarsomere which has a corresponding setal patch is still considered a significant generic character (Stange 1963) but with certain problems (Miller and Stange 1989). Pachyleon Stange is structurally similar to Dimarella
Insecta MundI 0619, April 2018 • 17Revision of NavasoleoN but the pretarsal claws cannot close upon the distal tarsomeres. If moved toward the tarsomere they spread apart whereas they don’t in Dimarella except for the species of the D. angusta group in which the pretarsal claws are spread apart to begin with so that when they approach the tarsomere they are on either side of the tarsomere upon closure. Michel and Akoudjin (2012: 34) include two species with folding claws with many species of Neuroleon Navas that lack them. They use tarsal setal characters as well as male genitalia and female terminalia to define Neuroleon. In the genus Eremoleon, one species, E. macer (Hagen), has the pretarsal claw weakly modified as folding claws. Folding pretarsal claws are present in about seventeen genera in the Myrmeleontidae. They are found in the Dendroleontini (Bankisus Navás, Bullanga Navás, Froggattisca Esben-Petersen, Parvoleon New, Tricholeon Kimmins), Nemoleontini (Brasileon Stange, Dimarella Banks, Elachyleon Esben-Petersen, Megistopus Rambur, Negrokus Navás, Neuroleon Navás, Paraglenurus van der Weele, Rovira Navás, Sericoleon EsbenPetersen, Thaumatoleon Esben-Petersen, Visca Navás), and Brachynemurini (Stangeleon Miller).
