Solving taxonomic and nomenclatural problems among the Neotropical species of the family Mantispidae (Insecta, Neuroptera)
The present study focuses on solving some dubious species-group names in Neotropical Mantispidae (Insecta, Neuroptera). We analyzed type specimens deposited in European museums that were not available in recent taxonomic studies on the family. A total of 28 names were discussed here which resulted in 14 new synonyms and six new combinations. Four names are considered as nomina dubia . Ten lectotypes are designated. High resolution images of the type specimens of 19 species are provided here.
