Abstract：
The antlion genera Gatzara and Nepsalus (Myrmeleontidae: Dendroleontinae) inhabit mountain forests and are characterised by camouflaging larvae. Both genera remain poorly known despite recent findings on systematics and distribution. We report the discovery of new specimens and the previously unknown larvae of the rare species Gatzara jubilaea Navás, 1915, Nepsalus insolitus (Walker, 1860) and N. decorosus (Yang, 1988). These provide new evidence regarding the affinities of these species, and updated knowledge of the distribution, larval morphology and biology. Moreover, a new species of Nepsalus , N. maclachlani Badano, Zheng & Liu, sp. nov. is described from Sri Lanka based on historical museum collections. The discovery of the immature stages of Gatzara shows that the larvae of this genus share the same specialised ecological characteristics and habits as those of Nepsalus but are less morphologically derived. We also reconstruct a molecular phylogeny of this lineage, estimating the divergence time and biogeographical history by adding the new samples. The evolution of the Gatzara + Nepsalus lineage is associated with two major mountain ranges on the southern Tibetan Plateau, i.e. the Himalayas and the Hengduan Mountains.

摘要：
蚂蚁属Gatzara和Nepsalus（Myrmeleontidae：Dendroleontinae）栖息在山区森林中，其特征是伪装幼虫。尽管最近发现了系统学和分布学，但这两个属仍然鲜为人知。我们报告了稀有物种Gatzarajubilaavás的新标本和以前未知的幼虫的发现，1915年，海王星（沃克，1860年)和N.Decelosus(杨，1988).这些提供了有关这些物种亲和力的新证据，和更新的分布知识，幼虫形态和生物学。此外，一种新的海参,N.MaclachlaniBadano,Zheng&Liu,sp.11月。是根据斯里兰卡的历史博物馆藏品描述的。Gatzara未成熟阶段的发现表明，该属的幼虫具有与Nepsalus相同的专门生态特征和习性，但在形态上来源较少。我们还重建了这个谱系的分子系统发育，通过添加新样本来估计发散时间和生物地理历史。Gatzara尼泊尔血统的演变与青藏高原南部的两个主要山脉有关，即喜马拉雅山和横断山脉。ZooBank:urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:68E68211-DFC1-4D98-997B-8A23BA8F9B69。
