Abstract
The PROFAUPAR project (1986–1987) studied insect diversity in the Atlantic rainforest through collections made at
eight dierent sites in the state of Paraná, Brazil. Here, we review and identify the collected neuropterans, carry out a
bibliographic review, and compose a list of the Neuroptera species that occur in the state. This study includes 14 new
records in Paraná, including the rst records of Ascalaphinae (Myrmeleontidae) and a new record of Dilaridae for
Brazil. It increases by 29.2% the number of species of Neuroptera known from Paraná. Forty-seven Neuroptera species
are now known to occur in the state.

Introduction
The order Neuroptera (Insecta, Neuropterida), commonly
known as lacewings and antlions, has a cosmopolitan dis-
tribution (except for Antarctica) and comprises approxi-
mately 5,800 species distributed in 15 families, of which
nine occur in Brazil (Oswald and Machado 2018; Machado
et al. 2019). This relatively small order of insects is rep-
resented in Brazil by 426 species (Machado and Martins
2021) and despite the fact that in South America, Brazil
is the country with the greatest diversity (Martins 2019),
studies dealing with these insects are relatively scarce.
In the past, studies focusing on Brazilian Neuroptera
were mostly concentrated in the Amazon region, mainly
due to the series of papers published by Dr. Norman D.
Penny (e.g., Penny 1981; Meinander and Penny 1982;
Adams and Penny 1985), but more recently a growing
body of records of new species have been established in
other regions of the country (e.g., Martins and Amorim
2015; Silva and Freire 2015; Assmar and Salles 2017;
Alvim et al. 2019; Machado and Tavares 2020). How-
ever, there have been no large-scale surveys of the Bra-
zilian Neuroptera published to date. Paraná state, located
in southern Brazil, is dominated by the Atlantic rainfor-
est, where the neuropterofauna is certainly understudied
despite faunistic surveys in this biodiversity hotspot.

Fauna in Paraná State] was a project conducted during
a one-year period from 1986 to 1987 at eight collection
sites on the coast and the three plateaus in the Paraná
state (Marinoni and Dutra, 1991). A total of 2,470,160
specimens belonging to various orders of insects were
collected (Marinoni and Dutra 1991), and the data on the
fauna composition have been subsequently published by
several authors studying insect groups such as Lepidop-
tera (Marinoni and Dutra 1996; Marinoni et al. 1997;
Marinoni et al. 1999), Trichoptera (Marinoni and Almei-
da 2000), Diptera (Costacurta et al. 2003), Hymenoptera
(Azevedo et al. 2006), and Coleoptera (Fernandes and
Linzmeier 2012). The insect specimens collected during
the project also allowed for the descriptions of new spe-
cies, like the seed beetle Amblycerus profaupar Ribeiro-
Costa, 2000 (Coleoptera, Bruchidae) (Ribeiro-Costa,
2000) and for the updating of the known distributions of
other species (Turcatel et al. 2007; Fernandes and Linz-
meier 2012).
The PROFAUPAR project was, and still is, the only
large-scale study to sample the order Neuroptera in the
Paraná state. However, the data on this order has not yet
been published, which was mainly due to the absence of a
specialist in the group in Brazil. Recently we had access
to the lacewing material in the PROFAUPAR samples.
This material was identied and found to include sev-
eral species newly recorded from Paraná. Thus, we pres-
ent a list of these species new for the state and including
a species recorded from Brazil for the rst time. These
data include important information on the biodiversity of
Neuroptera in the Paraná and will assist in future studies.
Methods
The insects were collected in eight localities in the state
of Paraná (Fig. 1) between August 1986 and July 1987
using the “ESALQ” light trap (Marinoni and Dutra 1991).
The samples were taken every two weeks, preserved in
70% ethanol, and stored in the Entomological Collection
Padre Jesus Santiago Moure (DZUP) housed at the Uni-
versidade Federal do Paraná, Brazil. Detailed descrip-
tions of the collection localities (oristics, climate, and
phytogeographic classication) were described by Mari-
noni and Dutra (1991). The locations of the eight sampled
areas are indicated in the map (Fig. 1), which was built
using Simplemappr (Shorthouse 2010).
Only adults were collected, and these insects were
studied with a stereomicroscope to observe the exter-
nal anatomy and terminalia, and were identied at the
lowest possible taxonomic level with the help of dichoto-
mous keys for the respective groups (Osmylidae: Mar-
tins et al. 2019; Mantispidae: Machado and Rafael 2010a;
Chrysopidae: Freitas and Penny 2001; Breitkreuz 2018;
Myrmeleontidae: van der Weele 1908; Navás 1912; Penny
1981; Stange 1994; Ábrahám 2013; Hemerobiidae: Penny

and Rafael 2010b; Sisyridae: Assmar and Salles 2017;
Coniopterygidae: Martins and Amorim 2016). Terminol-
ogy follows Aspöck and Aspöck (2008) for genitalia and
Breitkreuz et al. (2017) for the wing venation. Due to dif-
culties with identication, such as the fragility of the
material preserved in alcohol for years, and taxonomic
problems within some groups, some insects were not
identied to species. We also carried out a bibliographic

review of the species known to occur in Paraná; this was
based on the “Catálago Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil”
(Machado and Martins 2021) and additional literature.
Results
During the project 256 insects of the order Neuroptera
were collected. The most abundant families were Sisyri-
dae (n = 76; 29.68%), Chrysopidae (n = 60; 23.43%),
Hemerobiidae n = 54; 21.09%), and Myrmeleontidae (n =
46; 17.96%) (Appendix, Table A1). Previous to this study,
only 34 species of Neuroptera were known to occur in
Paraná (Table 1), but with the new data provided here, we
add 14 additional species in the state and one additional
species in Brazil.

Identi cation. Three genera of Nothochrysinae occur in
South America: Asthenochrysa, Leptochrysa Adams &
Penny, 1992, and Nothochrysa McLachlan, 1868 (Tau-
ber 2019). According to Adams & Penny (1992), Asthe-
nochrysa can be identied by having antennae with the
agellar segments with ve setal rows and by the lack of
fusion of the second and third anal veins of the forewing.
Asthenochrysa diers from Leptochrysa by the geo-
graphic distribution and the absence of uniquely narrow
wings, rectangular gradate cells, and a distinctive intra-
median cell, which make this genus distinct from other
Nothochrysinae. Asthenochrysa can be separated from
Nothochrysa by its geographic distribution; the latter has
a single species in Chile (Tauber 2019). Asthenochrysa
larvae are still unknown (Tauber 2019).
Comments. The specimen reported here most likely be-
longs to A. viridula (Adams, 1978), the only species de-
scribed for the genus and the only nothochrysine species
known from Brazil. However, specic identication is
made dicult because it is based on the male termina-
lia. Asthenochrysa was included by Machado and Mar-
tins (2021) in a catalog of Neuroptera from the state, but
this was based on personal observations of the research-
ers responsible for updating the “Catálogo Taxonômico
da Fauna do Brasil” (C. Martins pers. comm.). Thus, the
material examined here represents the rst fully docu-
mented record from the state.

combination of the following characters: apical segment
of maxillary palps tubular, head without dark markings,
and genital characteristics as presented in Freitas and
Penny (2001).

Identi cation. The genus is recognized by the presence
of red spots on the pronotum and externally visible geni-
tal characteristics as shown by Freitas and Penny (2001).
This species can be recognized principally by the pale
antennal agellum and the equal width and length of the
pronotum, which has the lateral spots separated.
Comments. Plesiochrysa contains four species in Brazil
(Machado and Martins 2021) and none had been recorded
from Paraná until now. Tauber et al. (2001) described the
biology and immature stages of P. brasiliensis.

Identi cation. This species is distinguished from other
Brazilian species by the combination of characters pre-
sented in the identication key of Martins and Amorim
(2016): hind wing with radial posterior (RP) vein branch-
ing from the radial anterior (RA) vein near the middle of
wing length, and M unforked; head without a protruding
projection; in males gonocoxite 9 sickle-like.
Comments. Prior to this work, only two species of co-
niopterygids were reported from Paraná: Coniopteryx
(Scotoconiopteryx) paranana Meinander, 1990 and Co-
niopteryx (Coniopteryx) simplicior Meinander, 1972.

and RRC Dutra leg.; light trap; PROFAUPAR.
Identi cation. This species is similar to Nallachius pre-
stoni (McLachlan, 1880) but can be dierentiated by the
longer gonostyli 10 and much lighter wing marks (Car-
penter 1970); in addition, N. prestoni is recorded in Bra-
zil only from Rio de Janeiro state. Nallachius reductus
is also similar to N. potiguar Machado & Rafael, 2010,
which can be distinguished by its unforked costal cross-
vein and geographical distribution (Machado and Rafael
2010b).
Comments. Nallachius reductus was previously report-
ed only from Paraguay. The only Nallachius species pre-
viously known from Paraná was N. limai Adams, 1970
(Machado and Martins 2021).

Identi cation. This genus is distinguished from the
other Brazilian genera by the presence of two RP in the
forewing, with the rst RP branching before the origin
of the second RP. Additionally, forewing is not “beaded”
along the longitudinal veins (Penny and Monserrat 1983).
Comments. Four species of Sympherobius occur in
Brazil, and only one species from southern Brazil was
reported prior to this study: Sympherobius gayi Navás,

Identi cation. According to Penny (1981), the genus
Amoea is characterized by having the eyes not divided
transversely, the antennae longer than the distance to
the second RP fork on the forewing, and the hind wing
with 2A absent or extremely short. According to van der
Weele (1908), A. chlorops is quite similar to A. immacu-
lata (Olivier, 1790), but A. chlorops can be distinguished
from the latter species based on its smaller size, uncon-
structed wings tip, yellow or brownish subcostal eld,
and the geographic distribution (van der Weele 1908;
Machado and Martins 2021).
Comments. Four species of this genus occur in Brazil
(Machado and Martins 2021). Penny (1981) pointed out
the need for a taxonomic revision of the group, which is
still necessary.

Identi cation. Haploglenius is a distinctive genus char-
acterized by the generally dark anterior wing costal area,
hind wing with 2A long, and a pronotal ap in the males
(Penny 1981; Eisner and Adams 1975). Haploglenius
costatus can be identied in that the hind margin of fore-
wing has the anal projection slightly developed with a
concave intrusion, and the wings have brown costal ar-
eas (Ábrahám 2013).
Comments. Haploglenius costatus was the most col-
lected species of Ascalaphinae in this study. Currently
ve species are known to Brazil, and H. costatus also oc-
curs in several other Neotropical countries and is wide-
spread in Brazil, with records in the north, northeast,
and central-west regions (Machado and Martins 2021);
herein, we provide the rst known occurrences in the
southern region of Brazil.

Identi cation. The genus Ascalorphne is readily recog-
nized by the ver y distinctive axillary angle of the forewing
and the antennae, which are longer than the forewing. The
species is determined by the long antennae and by the
whitish, piriform antennal club (Penny 1981).
Comments. The genus Ascalorphne has four described
South American species, with two species occurring
in Brazil: A. impavida (Walker, 1853) reported from
Maranhão and Pará states, and A. macrocerca (Burmeis-
ter, 1839) from Bahia state (Penny 1981). We provide
here several new records from Paraná.

XII.1986; 1 ♀; DZUP 381658; RC Marinoni and RRC
Dutra leg.; light trap; PROFAUPAR.
Identi cation. Species of Cordulecerus are character-
ized by having trianguloid wings usually dark pigmented
and the hind wing with a sinuous CuP (Penny 1981). Cor-
dulecerus alopecinus can be distinguished by the brown
mark on the base of the hind wing and the yellow me-
sonotum with a central black mark (van der Weele 1908).
Comments. According to Ardila-Camacho et al. (2019),
six species occur in Brazil, but until now only C. subi-
ratus Walker, 1853 was known from southern region of
Brazil, from Rio Grande do Sul state (Machado and Mar-
tins 2021). Herein, we report the rst record of C. alo-
pecinus from Fênix, Paraná. The species was previously
known only from the states of Bahia, Espírito Santo, and
São Paulo in Brazil, and from Argentina (Navás 1912).
Cordulecerus alopecinus is one of the Cordulecerus spe-
cies known to have aggregation behavior, and a group
with more than 100 specimens has been reported from a
conservation area in Espírito Santo state (Gomes-Filho
2000).

Identi cation. Argentoleon irrigatus is distinguished by
the following combination of characters: frons without
setae, antenna short, forefemoral sense hair as long as
forefemur length, forewing vein 2A running in a fairly
even curve toward 3A, and cubital anterior vein (CuA)
bending to hind margin at or before origin of medial fork.
This species diers from A. longitudinalis (Navás, 1914)
by the absence of a dark brown stripe in a mediocubital
area of the fore wing (Stange 1994).
Comments. Argentoleon irrigatus, previously unre-
ported from Paraná, is the fourth antlion species known
from the state. The genus comprises two species: A. lon-
gitudinalis, which does not occur in Brazil, and A. ir-
rigatus, with records from Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay,

Identi cation. The genus Climacia is identied by the
subcylindrical format of the terminal segment of maxil-
lary palp and the species, and C. triplehorni is dierenti-
ated from its congeners by the presence of a conspicuous
radiomedial streak on the forewing extending longitudi-
nally but not reaching the anal margin, and also by the
absence of spots throughout longitudinal veins. It can
be dierentiated from C. insolita Flint, 1998, which is
closely related with C. triplehorni, for not having the
radiomedial streak connected to other intervenational
streaks on the forewing (Assmar and Salles 2017).
Comments. In Brazil, 11 species of Climacia have been
recorded; however, only C. insolita was previously re-
corded to Paraná state. Herein, we report only the second
species of Climacia occurring in this state.

Identi cation. According to Assmar and Salles (2017),
this species can be identied by its straight, distally pro-
jected male gonocoxite 9, which has a rounded apex and
curves internally in dorsal view.
Comments. This species has a wide distribution, occur-
ring from the southern United States to Brazil. The genus
includes six Neotropical species, all occurring in Brazil
(Assmar and Salles 2017), but Sisyra has never been re-
corded in southern Brazil. Herein, we present the south-
ernmost record of the genus in the country.
Updated distribution in Brazil. Amazonas, Bahia, Es-
pírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Pernambuco, Roraima.
Other species
Other Neuroptera families were also collected during
PROFAUPAR (Appendix, Table A1), and although they
are not newly recorded from Paraná, they are briey
discussed. Osmylidae was represented by Isostenosmy-
lus pulverulentus (Gerstaecker, 1894) (n = 4); the family
has three species reported from Brazil: Gumila adsper-
sus Navás 1912 (Santa Catarina) and the genus Isosten-
osmylus Krüger, 1913 with two species: I. pulverulentus,
most commonly collected and distributed in southeast-
ern and southern Brazil (including Paraná), and I. bar-
batus Martins, Ardila-Camacho, Flint & Stange 2019,
which was recently described from several locations in
Paraná (Martins et al. 2019). Mantispidae was repre-
sented by Zeugomantispa virescens (Rambur, 1842) (n
= 9), a widely distributed and commonly collected spe-
cies in Brazil, and Anchieta fumosella (Westwood, 1867 )
(n = 2), sampled in Ponta Grossa. These two species were
previously reported from Paraná state and represent two
of the three subfamilies that occur in Brazil, Mantispinae
and Symphrasinae, respectively. A total of 14 mantispid
species have been recorded from Paraná. The Manispi-
dae are the most diverse family of Neuroptera in the state
(Machado and Martins 2021).
Discussion
The insects collected during PROFAUPAR proved to be
diverse, highlighting the importance of large projects to
study insect biodiversity and to deepen the knowledge
of the local fauna. All families of Neuroptera known to
occurr in Brazil were found in this project, except for
Berothidae, which is represented in the country by two
species occurring only in areas of northern and central
Brazil (Machado and Krolow 2016; Lara and Perioto
2020). Including the new records of the present study—an
increase in the neuropterofauna of Paraná by 29.2%—a
total of 48 species of lacewings are now known to occur
in the state.
Although some specimens were not identied to spe-
cies, we consider the publication of these data important,
as this study is the only large-scale survey in southern
Brazil of the order Neuroptera; these data took almost
34 years to be studied and published; and little is known
about the true diversity of Neuroptera, particularly in the
South American countries like Brazil (Martins 2019).
In our study, Sisyridae and Chrysopidae were the
families that with highest abundance of specimens. Sisy-
ridae is one of the smallest neuropteran families, with 71
extant species worldwide (Oswald and Machado 2018);
nevertheless, this group was the most representative in
the PROFAUPAR samples (mainly Climacia insolita),

1000 Check List 17 (3)
with records of both extant genera in the New World,
Climacia and Sisyra. According to Assmar and Salles
(2017), these two genera have only six species in the
Atlantic rainforest, a number probably underestimated
based on our results. Chrysopidae is the second most
diverse neuropteran family in the world, with 1415 spe-
cies and 81 genera (Oswald and Machado 2018), and
it is considered the neuropteran family with the great-
est number of species in South America (Martins 2019).
However, only nine species are known from Paraná. The
identication of Chrysopidae is complex due to the mor-
phological similarity of some species, especially in the
Neotropical genera, and the absence of identication
keys for females. Therefore, in this work the Chrysopini
females were presented separately (Appendix, Table A1).
Hemerobiidae was represented by three genera in our
study; in Brazil, the family has six genera and 23 species
(Lara and Perioto 2016). Despite being relatively com-
mon in collections, the information on these insects is
scarce and further study should be encouraged, espe-
cially in connection to the importance of hemerobiids as
biological control agents in other countries (Lara et al.
2008) and still unexplored in Brazil.
Myrmeleontidae (sensu Machado et al. 2019) was
the family with the fourth highest abundance in our
study, with 46 specimens sampled. Our study is the rst
to record owlies (Myrmeleontidae, Ascalaphinae) in
Paraná. The family Ascalaphidae has recently been clas-
sied as a subfamily within Myrmeleontidae based on
molecular and morphological data (Machado et al. 2019;
Jones 2019), and it is presented here as such. Within the
Myrmeleontidae, specimens collected during the project
all belong to the former Ascalaphidae (now Myrmeleon-
tidae, Ascalaphinae) with the exception of Argentoleon
irrigatus (Myr meleontinae, Brachynemur ini). At present,
only three other species of Myrmeleontidae are recorded
in Paraná: Myrmeleon pallidipes Banks, 1920,Glenurus
peculiaris (Walker, 1860), and Navasoleon brasiliensis
Miller, 2018, which was only recently described (Stange
and Miller 2018), suggesting that the diversity of these
insects is underestimated.
Coniopterygidae was found to be the family with the
least diversity and abundance, represented only by Coni-
opteryx (S.) tucumana. This family is widely distributed
in Brazil, with 46 species and four genera known: Coni-
opteryx, Neoconis Enderlein, 1930, Semidalis Ender-
lein, 1905, and Incasemidalis Meinander, 1972; the latter
genus was only recently reported from Brazil by Martins
and Amorim (2016), which demonstrates the poor knowl-
edge of this family in the country. The least abundant
family in our study was Dilaridae, which is a rare group
of insects in entomological collections and biologically
little-known, especially the adults (Lara and Perioto
2017). The family is represented by four genera world-
wide, but Nallachius is the only genus occurring in Bra-
zil and distributed in all regional divisions of the country,
with 11 species known (Machado and Rafael 2010b).
Over the course of more than three decades, the
eight study areas have suered greatly from fragmenta-
tion, especially Antonina, Colombo, and Jundiai do Sul,
which can be seen in satellite images as green patches
surrounded by buildings and crops. The Parque Estadual
de Vila Velha (Ponta Grossa) and Parque Ecológico Sam-
uel Klabin (Telêmaco Borba) are also now surrounded
by urban areas and crops; however, they are protected
areas, either public or private, respectively. Due to urban
expansion over the years, the boundaries between cit-
ies have changed, so that the geographic coordinates of
Guarapuava study area is now located in the municipal-
ity of Foz do Jordão, but we decided to keep the name
of the collection point, as originally presented by Mari-
noni and Dutra (1991), to facilitate understanding in later
studies. We believe that new studies at these locations
may help us to understand the eects of urbanization on
the insect fauna over time.
We highlight that all the study areas are within the
Atlantic Forest, which is a biodiversity hotspot. The
Atlantic Forest is one of the Brazilian biomes most
impacted by deforestation due to agriculture and urban-
ization. Nowadays, only 12.4% of the original extent of
the Atlantic Forest remains, and despite the expansion of
protected and reforested areas, deforestation rates con-
tinue, increasing by 27% in 2018–2019 (Fundação SOS
Mata Atlântica 2020). Paraná is the state which has the
third highest contributions towards deforestation of the
Atlantic Forest. Our study, in increasing in the number of
neuropteran species known in the state and providing the
rst record of Nallachius reductus in the country, shows
the importance of projects with large temporal and geo-
graphical sampling of insects. Such projects can provide
the necessary data to better understand the Brazilian
entomofauna, especially for the neglected insect groups
like Neuroptera. According to Machado and Martins
(2021), Paraná is the ninth most diverse Brazilian state;
however, our results suggest that possibly only a fraction
of the real diversity of Neuroptera is known.
