Michael L. Ferro New state records for Coniopterygidae (Neuroptera) with an updated list of species in North America north of Mexico Insecta Mundi 0668: 1–20
Abstract
Coniopterygidae are the smallest members of the order Neuroptera and are often overlooked by collectors. Consequently, distribution of many species within North America north of Mexico is poorly known, even at the state level. Currently 57 species (five adventive) are recognized from North America. Of those, 30 are reported from a single state or province. Conversely, 12 states and provinces have no published records of Coniopterygidae. More than 600 specimens of adult coniopterygids were identified and numerous new state records were determined. An updated list of species state-level distribution is provided.
Los Coniopterygidae son los miembros más pequeños del orden Neuroptera y con frecuencia son ignorados por los recolectores. Por tanto, la distribución de muchas especies en Norteamérica al norte de México es escasamente conocida, aún al nivel estatal. Actualmente 57 especies (cinco adventicias) se reconocen de Norteamérica. De estas, 30 se reportan de un solo estado o provincia. A la inversa, 12 estados y provincias no tienen registros publicados de Coniopterygidae. Más de 600 ejemplares de coniopterígidos adultos fueron identificados y numerosos nuevos registros de estado fueron determinados. Una lista actualizada de especies con distribución por estado es proporcionada.
