New synonymies in Asian antlions (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae)
V.A. Krivokhatsky
Abstract. Lectotypes of Maracanda amoena McLachlan, 1875, Lopezus disparilis Navás, 1932, and Acanthaclisis debilis Navás, 1932 are designated. New synonymies are established: Maracanda amoena McLachlan, 1875 = Lopezus disparilis Navás, 1932, Acanthaclisis curvispura Krivokhatsky, 1990 = A. debilis Navás, 1932 [junior homonym of A. debilis Gerstaecker, 1888]. One paralectotype male of L. disparilis belongs to L. nanus Krivokhatsky, 1990. New data on the distributions of these species and a description of the female of L. nanus are given.
