Suppl. material to: The pleasing lacewings (Neuroptera: Dilaridae) of Africa: systematics, new distribution records, and biogeographical implications on the Old World fauna of the family (ISE)

<p dir="ltr">Dilaridae is a distinctive Neuroptera family with remarkable characters, such as sexually dimorphic antennae</p><p dir="ltr">and the elongated ovipositor. This family comprises four genera and 115 so far described species,</p><p dir="ltr">ranging across main zoogeographical realms except the Australian one. Due to limited dispersal capacity,</p><p dir="ltr">dilarid species are often distributed in a relatively narrow area. Despite inhabiting diverse ecosystems,</p><p dir="ltr">only two dilarid species have been known from Africa so far: one from northern Africa (western Palearctic</p><p dir="ltr">realm) and one from southern Africa (Afrotropical realm). In this study, we provide re-descriptions and</p><p dir="ltr">illustrations of the two African dilarid species, i.e., Dilar bolivari Navás, 1903, and Neonallachius krooni</p><p dir="ltr">(Minter, 1986), with the first record of N. krooni from northern East-Africa. Additionally, we summarized</p><p dir="ltr">all the records of the three genera of Dilaridae from the Old World and present the distribution map.</p><p dir="ltr">Furthermore, we discuss the historical biogeography of the family.</p>
