Acanthaclisinae
Acanthaclisinae is a subfamily of Myrmeleontidae, the antlions. It comprises a single tribe, Acanthaclisini Acanthaclisini is a tribe in the antlion subfamily Acanthaclisinae. The larvae of most species live in open tracts of fairly deep sand, and do not construct pitfall traps. They burrow beneath the surface of the sand which needs to be deep eno ..., which has about 221 species in 16 genera.

Antlion
The antlions are a group of about 2,000 species of insect in the neuropteran family Myrmeleontidae. They are known for the predatory habits of their larvae, which mostly dig pits to trap passing ants or other prey. In North America, the larvae are sometimes referred to as doodlebugs because of the marks they leave in the sand. The adult insects are less well known due to their relatively short lifespans compared to the larvae. Adults, sometimes known as antlion lacewings, mostly fly at dusk or after dark and may be mistakenly identified as dragonflies or damselflies. Antlions have a worldwide distribution. The greatest diversity occurs in the tropics, but a few species are found in cold-temperate locations, one such being the European ''Euroleon nostras''. They most commonly occur in dry and sandy habitats where the larvae can easily excavate their pits, but some larvae hide under debris or ambush their prey among leaf litter. Antlions are poorly represented in the fossil rec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Acanthaclisini
Acanthaclisini is a tribe in the antlion subfamily Acanthaclisinae. The larvae of most species live in open tracts of fairly deep sand, and do not construct pitfall traps. They burrow beneath the surface of the sand which needs to be deep enough to allow temperature regulation, concealment from predators and space to hunt prey. Many hunt both on the soil surface and beneath it. Genera These 16 genera belong to the tribe Acanthaclisini: * '' Acanthaclisis'' Rambur, 1842 * '' Arcuaplectron'' New, 1985 * ''Centroclisis'' Navás, 1909 * ''Cosina'' Navás, 1912 * '' Fadrina'' Navás, 1912 * '' Heoclisis'' Navás, 1923 * '' Jaya'' Navás, 1912 * '' Madrastra'' Navás, 1912 * '' Mestressa'' Navás, 1914 * '' Paranthaclisis'' Banks, 1907 * '' Phanoclisis'' Banks, 1913 * '' Stiphroneura'' Gerstaecker, 1885 * '' Synclisis'' Navás, 1919 * '' Syngenes'' Kolbe, 1897 * ''Vella'' Navas, 1913 * '' Vellasa'' Navás, 1924 i g Data sources: i = ITIS, c = Catalogue of Life, g = GBIF, b = Buggu ...
