The species of the antlion tribe Myrmeleontini from Taiwan are revised. In total, nine species from two genera Baliga (2 spp.) and Myrmeleon (7 spp.) are redescribed and an identification key is provided. One new combination, B. brunneipennis (Esben-Petersen, 1913) comb. nov., and one new synonymy, M. alticolus Miller & Stange, 1999 syn. nov. = B. brunneipennis (Esben-Petersen, 1913), are proposed. Myrmeleon wangi Miller & Stange, 1999 stat. rev. is resurrected from the synonymy as a valid species under M. trivialis Gerstaecker, 1885. In addition, four species groups are proposed for Myrmeleon: the M. tenuipennis, M. littoralis, M. wangi and M. punctinervis groups. A phylogenetic analysis of the COI gene of the Taiwanese Myrmeleontini species is also provided. |
