The present study aims to provide an updated checklist of the owlfly subfamily As-calaphidae Lefèbvre, 1842, with the first records of the genus Deleproctophylla Lefèb-vre, 1842, from the country. The new records give an improved understanding of owlfly distribution within the country. The record of the genus Deleproctophylla in Georgia is based on a single female specimen of D. australis (Fabricius, 1787).

We present the state of knowledge on the family Myrmeleontidae occurring in North Macedonia based on published records, museum specimens and new samples, and provide a comprehensive species list. North Macedonia represents only 3.9% of the area of the Balkan Peninsula but harbours 19 species belonging to 14 antlion genera, i.e., 61% of the peninsular fauna. We report collection localities, literature records and biological data for each species. Three species, Nemoleon poecilopterus, Neuroleon assimilis and Myrme-leon inconspicuus, are reported for the first time in North Macedonia. The genus Nemoleon Navás is also reported for the first time in the country.
... Nedroledon maculatus Zakharenko, 1990 is a similarly rare species, known only from the holotype recorded in Uzbekistan (Zakharenko 1990). Almost thirty years later, further specimens were collected in the Vashlovani National Park in Georgia (Dobosz et al. 2017). Other species of this genus-N. ...
... When the species was described by Zakharenko (1990), only the male holotype was known. Since then, some additional material-two males and three females-have been collected in Georgia (Dobosz et al. 2017), and additional single specimens have been unearthed in museum collections in Azerbaijan (SCM, ZIN), Iran (NHMW), Uzbekistan (ZIN) and Turkmenistan (HNHM, ZIN). Because only a few specimens of N. maculatus are known, we here update the morphological features of this species. ...
The genus Dominikon Dobosz, Krivokhatsky & Ábrahám gen. nov. is separated from the genus Nedroledon Navás, 1914, along with two previously described species: Dominikon lagopus (Gerstaecker, 1894) and Dominikon iranensis (Hölzel, 1972) comb. nov. A new species, Dominikon aspoecki Dobosz, Ábrahám & Krivokhatsky sp. nov. is described from Iran and Turkmenistan. The new genus is characterized by the presence of a prominent postventral processus of the ectoproct. The genus Nedroledon includes two valid Western Palaearctic species (Nedroledon anatolicus Navás, 1914 and N. maculatus Zakharenko, 1990). The paper contains a key for both genera, Nedroledon and Dominikon, and a key for the species of the new genus Dominikon. The taxonomic features and habitus of each species are illustrated. New data on the distribution of species of the two related genera Dominikon gen. nov. and Nedroledon Navás, 1914 are also given.

A survey of Neuropterida in the Sikhote-Alin Biosphere Reserve, conducted in 2018 (supplemented with other specimens collected mainly in 2015-2017), yielded 41 species of alderflies (2), snake-flies (3) and lacewings (36). Conwentzia pineticola End., Wesmaelius quadrifasciatus (Reuter) and Chrysopa gibeauxi (Leraut) are new for Primorskiy Krai. The treatment of Hemerobius fenestratus Tjeder as a junior synonym of H. striatus Nakahara is confirmed. Forcipomyia eques Joh.

New records of 19 species of myrmeleontoid lacewings (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae, Ascalaphidae, Nemopteridae) of Armenian fauna are presented. In comparison with adjacent Caucasian countries Armenian fauna of antlions, spoonwings and owlflies could be characterized as manifold, organized under the influence of Anatolian faunistic center. Distoleon laticollis (Navás, 1913), Delfimeus irroratusiranensis(Hölzel, 1972), D.irroratusmorgani(Navás, 1913), Neuroleon tenellus (Klug in Ehrenberg, 1834), Creoleon griseus (Klug in Ehrenberg, 1834), Libelloides macaronius kolyvanensis morpha alba Krivokhatsky, Bagaturov et Prokopov, 2018 are reported for Armenia for the first time. Here we proposed a new status for three taxa, which are interpreted as subspecies of Delfimeus irroratus (Olivier, 1811): D.irroratus morganistat.n., D.irroratus iranensisstat.n. and D.irroratus friedeli (Hölzel, 1972), stat.n. All four taxa (including the nominotypical subspecies) differ in the pronotum pattern and the color of wings and have a partially sympatric distribution. The largest representatives (forewing 25mm) nominotypical subspecies and a small subspecies D.irroratus friedeli with dense venation were not found in Armenia.
We evaluated progress towards animal biodiversity research in Georgia, a key area in the Caucasus biodiversity hotspot. By reviewing recently (1990–2018) published articles in all areas of animal diversity research, we unmasked the trends in biodiversity inventory, ecological and biogeographical studies, and conservation issues in Georgia. We concluded that species inventory and biodiversity research in Georgia has significantly increased during the last ten years, however the rate and extent of investigation is far from satisfactory. Major gaps remain in all branches of animal diversity research in Georgia, and consequently existing knowledge is inadequate to address modern challenges related to species and ecosystem conservation. We urge local governmental authorities and international scientific societies to support development of stronger research facilities and cultivate interest in biodiversity inventory and research in Georgia as an important step towards maintaining globally important biodiversity in the Caucasus.
The current composition of the fauna of antlions in Azerbaijan (25 species) based on our collection in 2015–2017 is discussed. Antlion imago and larvae were collected during fieldwork in the following regions and localities of Azerbaijan: Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic (Ordubad, Babek, Shakhbuz), Baku, Gobustan, Mingachaur, Kurdamir, Siazan, Shabran, Shamakhi, Lerik, Fizuli, islands Pirallahi, Bulla (Khara Zirah), Chilov. Representatives of all Palaearctic subfamilies and tribes were collected, and 6 species are recorded for the first time for the fauna of the republic. Analysis of the fauna of antlions of Azerbaijan showed the full absence of local and Caucasian endemics. Only Palpares turcicus and Nohoveus armenicus can be interpreted as sub-endemic species with initial Kura-Aras-Anatolian range and the possible autochthonous Kura-Aras Pliocene origin. The remaining 23 species belong to groups with wider distribution, mostly to the Ancient Mediterranean type, which was formed presumably before the Oligocene. The mixed faunal composition is a consequence of the unique geographical position of Azerbaijan, on the territory of which three zoogeographical provinces are joined: the Euxine province (European Nemoral zoogeographic region), Kura-Aras and West-Asian provinces (Sethian zoogeographic region) according to classification of Krivokhatsky and Emeljanov. Simultaneously, a contact between closely related subgenera and subspecies is also observed here, that determines the integrated picture of the taxonomic diversity of the Myrmeleontidae fauna of Azerbaijan.
