A new species of the antlion genus Ecualeon Stange (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae: Myrmeleontinae) from Peru
ABSTRACT Herein, we describe Ecualeon peruvianus sp. nov. from Peru, a new species of Ecualeon Stange, a genus that was previously monotypic, and only known from Ecuador. Meanwhile, we discuss the characters of this genus, highlighting that some characters previously known solely from the type species are now considered generic features.
