蚁蛉科脉序名称研究(脉翅目:蚁蛉科)

Study on terminology of wing venation of Myrmeleontidae (Neuroptera)

基于比较形态学的研究 ,对蚁蛉前后翅脉序主干同源性进行了论证 ,提出了一套新的蚁蛉脉序命名系统。同源性论证依据 5个方面 : 1)现生蚁蛉脉序与蚁蛉总科化石资料的比较分析 ; 2 )蚁蛉脉序与假想模式脉序的比较分析 ; 3)蚁蛉与外群昆虫脉序的比较分析 ; 4 )对蚁蛉科前后翅特征的对比分析 ; 5 )对已有蚁蛉脉序名称系统的比较分析。这套新的蚁蛉脉序命名系统可以使蚁蛉的形态描述化繁为简、特征理解化难为易。

A new terminological scheme for the wing venation of Myrmeleontidae was proposed based on the comparative morphological study. The homologies of the main veins of the fore and hind wings are determined from the following aspects, i. e., the venation of neoteric and fossil species in the family, the hypothetical typical venation of insects, the venation of outgroups, the morphological features of the main veins of fore and hind wings, and the terminologies for the venation of the family known previously.
