Abstract and Figures

Los mantispidos (Neuróptera: Mantispidae Leach, 1815) son un grupo de insectos que se distinguen por la complejidad en su desarrollo y ecología, ya que los adultos son depredadores de insectos pequeños, mientras que las larvas muestran una evolución de parásitos y parasitoides a depredadores (K, 2013). Los miembros de la familia Mantispidae son depredadores de sacos de huevos de las arañas drenándolos por medio de un tubo de perforación, los mantispidos de primer estadio utilizan dos estrategias para localizar los huevos de araña (Redborg, 1998 ).La familia se distribuye en regiones tropicales y templadas, aunque es más diversa y abundante en los trópicos, (Reynoso-Velascoy Contreras-Ramos,2008)

Los mantispidos (Neuróptera: Mantispidae Leach, 1815) son un grupo de insectos que se
distinguen por la complejidad en su desarrollo y ecología, ya que los adultos son
depredadores de insectos pequeños, mientras que las larvas muestran una evolución de
parásitos y parasitoides a depredadores (K, 2013). Los miembros de la familia Mantispidae
son depredadores de sacos de huevos de las arañas drenándolos por medio de un tubo de
perforación, los mantispidos de primer estadio utilizan dos estrategias para localizar los
huevos de araña (Redborg, 1998 ). La familia se distribuye en regiones tropicales y
templadas, aunque es más diversa y abundante en los trópicos, (Reynoso-Velasco y
Contreras-Ramos, 2008)
El género Climaciella Enderlein, 1910 incluye 10 especies distribuidas desde el sureste de
Canadá hasta el norte de Argentina, abarcando las islas del Caribe, Hispaniola y Puerto Rico.
Las especies conocidas son: Climaciella amapaensis Penny, 1983; Climaciella brunnea (Say
in Keating, 1824); Climaciella cubana Enderlein, 1910; Climaciella duckei Navás, 1915;
Climaciella obtusa Hoffman, 2002; Climaciella personata (Stitz, 1913); Climaciella porosa
Hoffman, 2002; Climaciella rafaeli Calle Tobón et al., 2018 y Climaciella semihyalina (Le
Peletier de Saint Fargeau y Audinet-Serville, 1825) (Hoffman, 2002; Ardila-Camacho &
Garca, 2015; Ardila-Camacho, A. et al., 2018).

La biología de este género es poco conocida, algunos de los trabajos mas relevante es el que
se conocen sobre C. brunnea Say, una especie polimórfica distribuida desde Centroameríca
hasta Norteamérica. En Costa Rica se reportaron cinco morfos de colores distintos, cada uno
de los cuales es un imitador batesiano de una avispa diferente de la subfamilia Polistinae
(Opler, 1981; Ardila-Camacho & Garca, 2015). Esta especie se considera un huésped
obligado en su primer estadio larvario y tiene una preferencia especial por las arañas de la
familia Lycosidae (LaSalle 1986; Redborg & MacLeod 1983; Redborg & Redborg 2000;
Ardila-Camacho & Garca, 2015).
Climaciella obtusa Hoffman, 2002 es facil de distinguir de los otros Mantispidae por
presentar el pronotum claramente curvado en la parte ventral, aproximadamente en la mitad
de la longitud del pronutum en vista lateral y las alas con las tres cuartas partes anteriores de
color marrón oscuro (Hoffman, 2002).
En el presente trabajo se registra la ampliación del rango de distribución de Climaciella
obtusa Hoffman, 2002 (Neuróptera: Mantispidae) a la Reserva Forestal Bosque Protector
Palo Seco, Changuinola, provincia de Bocas del Toro, Panamá

Distribución: Climaciella obtusa Hoffman se ha registrado en el bosque tropical de tierras
bajas del Monumento Natural Barro Colorado, Gamboa, Provincia de Colón. Parque
Nacional Soberania (Zona del Canal), provincia de Panamá. En este trabajo ampliamos su
rango de distribución hasta la Provincia de Bocas del Toro, Reserva Forestal Palo Seco, ésta
área protegida es limótrofe con la provincia de Chiriquí por lo que es posible también se
encuentre.
Hábitat y ecología: Se han capturado adultos C. obtusa durante los meses de marzo, febrero,
mayo, junio, agosto y octubre. Su rango de distribución altitudinal comprende dede el nivel
del mar hasta los 1450 m (Hoffman, 2002; Ardila-Camacho & Garca, 2015).
Comentarios: Se desconocen los estadios inmaduros de C. obtusa y sus hospederos de araña.
Aunque, Miranda (2007) reportó dos morfos de Climaciella, de Panamá, asociados con dos
especies de arañas, Cupiennius granadensis (Keyserling, 1877) (Ctenidae) y Argiope
argentata (Fabricius, 1775) (Araneidae). Ésta especie de mantispido al igual que C.
semihyalina y C. brunnea (morfo “synoeca”) (Opler 1981), C. obtusa tiene un patrón de
mimetismo batesiano que se asemeja a algunas especies de avispas véspidas de los géneros
Polybia Lepeletier, 1836 y Synoeca de Saussure, 1852, aunque las posibles especies modelo
no se han identificado (Hoffman 2002; Ardila-Camacho & García 2015); pero es muy
parecida a la avispa Synoeca septentrionalis Richards, 1978; en el sitio también observamos
esta especie de Vespidae (Fig. 3 y 4).

Introduction. Insects are associated with human communities, with positive and negative impacts within each society. This aspect is the basis of the study of insects as a science called entomology, which involves the development of various branches. Due to the social and economic importance of this science in various areas of Panamanian society, a significant development has been achieved during the last forty years. Objective. To determine the branches of entomology applied in Panama during the last four decades. Development. The development of entomology in Panama focused on promoting general, agricultural, veterinary, medical, and forensic entomology through the development of research, teaching, and the establishment of the necessary foundations to promote science. Conclusions. Five branches, including general, agricultural, veterinary, medical, and forensic entomology, constituted the cornerstone and the impetus for the development of entomology as a science for forty years at the service of Panamanian society, justified by social needs related to health, food, and the economic aspects. In recent years topics such as the environment, climate change, and sustainability have also been included.

Mantispidae (Neuroptera) of Mexico: Distribution and Key to Genera
Article
Full-text available
Adult specimens of the Mexican Mantispidae were recorded from the Colección Nacional de Insectos, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, and from Colección Entomológica del Centro de Estudios en Zoología, Universidad de Guadalajara, as well as from the literature. Specimens examined (n = 270) represented three subfamilies, 11 species from nine genera, and five morphospecies. Our studies reveal 23 species from Mexico. Distribution records are presented by country and province, as well as by locality. Six species are recorded as new state records. An illustrated key to the genera of Mexican Mantispidae is provided, as well as a list of pertinent taxonomic literature for species identification. Species richness of Mexican Mantispidae is generally discussed.

Vision in the mantispid: a sit-and-wait and stalking predatory insect. Physiological Entomology 38: 1-12.
Article
Mantispids (Neuroptera: Mantispidae) are remarkable insects due to their close resemblance to the praying mantis (order Mantodea). Although not closely related phylogenetically, as a result of similar selective pressures both mantispids and mantids have evolved powerful raptorial forelegs for capturing insects. Another striking feature is the hypermetamorphosis in mantispid development, and the parasitising behaviour of the first instar larvae. The present review focuses on the role of mantispid vision. First, the morphology and functional significance of the larval eyes (stemmata) are examined. In principle, the stemmata are suitable for spatial vision due to their arrangement and structure. This is then followed by a discussion of how adult mantispids are able to capture fast-moving insects successfully although, in contrast to the praying mantis, mantispids rely on superposition eyes rather than on apposition eyes with a frontal region of high acuity. For both larvae and adults, comparisons are made with other insect groups. This review also addresses the role of mantispid vision as an important cue for triggering mating behaviour; here sex-specific differences are considered. Finally, vision in the context of orientation flight is discussed. karl.kral@uni-graz.at; karlkral@aon.at

Climaciella brunnea (Neuroptera: Mantispidae): A mantispid that obligately boards spiders
Article
  • Feb 1983
Larvae of Climaciella brunnea (Say) develop within the egg sacs of spiders. In contrast to other species of mantispids whose larvae actively search for spiders or egg sacs, C. brunnea larvae adopt a phoretic posture and wait for spiders to come to them. Larvae are totally unable to directly penetrate egg sacs; they must board a female spider and reach the eggs before they have been enclosed with silk.

Resource partitioning of spider hosts (Arachnida, Araneae) by two mantispid species (Neuroptera, Mantispidae) in an Illinois woodland
Article
  • Jan 2009
Two spider-boarding mantispids, Mantispa uhleri Banks 1943 and Climaciella brunnea (Say 1824), were found to be partitioning available spider egg resources in an Illinois woods based on vertical stratification. Mantispa uhleri was found to be phoretic on the philodromid Philodromus vulgaris (Hentz 1847), the salticid Metacyrba undata (De Geer 1867) and the anyphaenid Aysha gracilis (Hentz 1847) at levels of 75%, 26%, and 27% respectively. All of these spiders were collected from areas above the forest floor. In contrast, C. brunnea was collected from 19% of leaf litter-inhabiting lycosids of the genus Schizocosa. There was no host range overlap within the woods, but in a grassy field without appreciable stratification of vegetation adjacent to the woods, both M. uhleri and C. brunnea were found aboard the lycosid Rabidosa punctulata (Walckenaer 1837) at levels of 2% and 7% respectively. A single larva of Mantispa pulchella (Banks 1912) associated with an anyphaenid from the woodland sample was also collected in this study. Mantispids are far more common than has been previously supposed and are likely an important factor in spider population dynamics and the evolution of spider behavior.

Biology of the Mantispidae
Article
  • Feb 1998
Members of the Neuropteran family Mantispidae, subfamily Mantispinae, are predators in the egg sacs of spiders, draining egg contents through a piercing/sucking tube formed by modified mandibles and maxillae. First-instar mantispids use two strategies to locate spider eggs: Larvae may burrow directly through the silk of egg sacs they find, or they may board and be carried by female spiders prior to sac production, entering the sac as it is being constructed. Mantispids that board spiders usually adopt positions on or near the pedicel; some species may enter the spider's book lungs. Larvae maintain themselves aboard spiders by feeding on spider blood. Transfers of larvae from spider to spider are possible during spider mating or cannibalism. All of the major groups of hunting spiders are attacked by spider-boarding mantispids; the egg sacs of web-building species are also entered by egg-sac penetrators.
