Abstract

Between 2008-2010 the author six times three-week-long collecting trips were carried out in Morocco. During this survey, total of 2369 specimens (Nemopteridae: 52, Myrmeleontidae: 2089, Ascalaphidae: 228) were collected by net, light and portable light trap methods. 6 nemopterid, 53 myrmeleontid and 8 ascalaphid species were found. A total of 41% (28 species) of the collected species were the first record for the Moroccan fauna. Palpares martini Weele, 1907 syn. n., and Palpares germaini Navás, 1919 syn. n. are new junior synonyms of Palpares angustus Mclachlan, 1898; Solter micheli sp. n. is a new species compared to Solter naevipennis Navás, 1913. New synonyms are Cueta arenosa (Navás, 1913) syn. n. a new junior synonym of Cueta lineosa (Rambur, 1842); Neuroleon danieli (Lacroix 1922) syn. n., a new junior synonym of Neuroleon gafsanus (Navás, 1921) comb. n., Distoleon divisus (Navás, 1913) syn. n. a new junior synonym of Neuroleon cuigneti (Navás, 1912) comb. n., Neuroleon egenus stirpis Steffan, 1971 without description is a nomen nudum but Neuroleon stirpis Steffan, 1975 stat. n., is a valid species. Creoleon antennatus (Navás, 1914) syn. n. and Creoleon arenosus (Navás, 1934) syn. n. are new junior synonyms of Creoleon neurasthenicus (Navás, 1913). Creoleon surcoufi (Navás, 1912) syn. n. is a junior synonym of Creoleon cinerascens (Navás, 1912). Ascalaphus hyalinus Navás, 1921 syn. n. is a new junior synonym of Stylascalaphus krueperi (van der Weele, 1909) comb. n. Cueta impar Navás, 1932, Neuroleon gafsanus (Navás, 1921) and Stylascalaphus Sziráki, 1998 taxa were redescribed. The paper contains short characterization of the species in taxonomic, morphologic, habitat and distribution point of view. An annotated checklist of the Moroccan Nemopteridae, Myrmeleontidae, Ascalaphidae fauna was compiled. With 56 figs.
