Abstract

Thaumatoleon Esben-Petersen, 1921 is a monotypic antlion genus represented by T. splendidus Esben-Petersen, 1921 from the Oriental region. Previously, this genus was documented by only three female specimens. Here we report this genus from mainland China for the first time based on a male and two female specimens newly collected in Yunnan Province. A detailed re-description and distribution map of the genus are provided. A brief discussion on the relationships of Thaumatoleon within Nemoleontinae is also provided.

摘要

1921年发现的美蚁蛉属（Thaumatoleon Esben-Petersen）是一个单型蚁蛉属，仅由来自东洋区的华丽美蚁蛉（Thaumatoleon splendidus Esben-Petersen，1921）代表。此前，该属仅由三个雌性标本记录。在此，我们基于在云南省新采集的一个雄性标本和两个雌性标本，首次报道中国大陆的该属物种。提供了该属的详细重新描述和分布图。还对美蚁蛉在蚁蛉亚科内的亲缘关系进行了简要讨论。
