Brauer ” [Nemoleon notatus (Rambur, 1842)]; but Navás (1914) described it as a new species. This rare species was described twice more following the original description from collections made in Greece and Romania, and those specimens are now synonyms (Hölzel 1972). Oswald (2021) listed this species for Hungary, but it has not been collected in that country. Before World War I, the type specimen of Banatoleon lineatus Kis, 1964 was collected in a locality that was within the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, but this area now belongs to Romania.	en	Krivokhatsky, Victor, Dobosz, Roland, Ábrahám, Levente (2022): The new antlion genus Dominikon gen. nov. with the description of a new species Dominikon aspoecki sp. nov.

03CC87B7EF24C9538FC92567999CFED1.taxon	discussion	Comments: The holotype was formerly located in the Zoological Museum of the University of Moscow, but it was later transferred by Zakharenko to the collection of ZIN (Krivokhatsky 1998), where it remains to this day. When checking the holotype specimen, we found that it was damaged — the antennae and left hindwing were missing. A hindwing of Cueta sp. had been mistakenly glued to the type specimen (Fig. 3). The type locality belonged to the former Russian Empire at the beginning of the 20 th century and later to the Soviet Union, but this site is now in Uzbekistan. When the species was described by Zakharenko (1990), only the male holotype was known. Since then, some additional material — two males and three females — have been collected in Georgia (Dobosz et al. 2017), and additional single specimens have been unearthed in museum collections in Azerbaijan (SCM, ZIN), Iran (NHMW), Uzbekistan (ZIN) and Turkmenistan (HNHM, ZIN). Because only a few specimens of N. maculatus are known, we here update the morphological features of this species.	en	Krivokhatsky, Victor, Dobosz, Roland, Ábrahám, Levente (2022): The new antlion genus Dominikon gen. nov. with the description of a new species Dominikon aspoecki sp. nov.

Flagellar segments pale brown with short dense and black setae, club yellow, covered with short dense and black setae. Characteristic pattern in forewing as in Figs. 3 and 4. Thorax with brownish-white spots with distinctive dorsal bright cream-beige line. Sides also with a few yellow spots and lines. Femur about as long as tibiae in fore leg. Mid- and hind leg femora slightly shorter than tibiae. Tarsal segment 1 is longer than segments 2 – 4 combined, which are as long as or slightly shorter than segment 5. Tibial spurs clearly longer than tarsal segment 1 in hind leg, often extending beyond half-length of tarsal segment 2 (Fig. 4 b). Tarsal claws opposable. Male abdomen considerably longer than wings (Fig. 4) and than in females. Abdomen generally brown, tergites with yellowish spots on lateral side. Male genitalia as in N. anatolicus, and ectoproct without elongate postventral processus (Fig. 4 a).	en	Krivokhatsky, Victor, Dobosz, Roland, Ábrahám, Levente (2022): The new antlion genus Dominikon gen. nov. with the description of a new species Dominikon aspoecki sp. nov.

However, the postventral processus of the male ectoproct is very long. Tibial spurs are generally shorter than in Nedroledon species, and they are as long as tarsal segment 1 in the hind leg. This new genus contains three species.	en	Krivokhatsky, Victor, Dobosz, Roland, Ábrahám, Levente (2022): The new antlion genus Dominikon gen. nov. with the description of a new species Dominikon aspoecki sp. nov.

03CC87B7EF22C9508FC926539855FED1.taxon	distribution	Distribution: Iran, Turkey, Turkmenistan. It is found in several provinces of the Irano-Turanian Subregion of the Sethian (Saharo-Gobian) Desert Region. (Krivokhatsky 2011) (Fig. 6). The genus could have split off from its common ancestor during the developmental adaptation to Asian aridification in the Oligocene when the ejected sister genus Nedroledon broke up into its eastern and western parts. According to the preferred Sethian desert model, the distributions of the species are associated with two centres of biodiversity, i. e., the Irano-Turanian-Anatolian (D. lagopus, D. iranensis) and eastern Irano-Turanian (D. aspoecki).	en	Krivokhatsky, Victor, Dobosz, Roland, Ábrahám, Levente (2022): The new antlion genus Dominikon gen. nov. with the description of a new species Dominikon aspoecki sp. nov.

03CC87B7EF20C95E8FC923E29D93FA75.taxon	discussion	Comments: Myrmeleon lagopus Gerstaecker, 1894 was moved to Nedroledon Navás, 1914 by Ábrahám & Giacomino (2020). Based on an examination of the type specimen described by Gerstaecker, the authors of this publication treated Nedroledon striatus Hölzel, 1972 as a new junior synonym of Nedroledon lagopus (Gerstaecker, 1894). Of all the species of the genera Nedroledon and Dominikon, D. lagopus is the one most represented in scientific collections.	en	Krivokhatsky, Victor, Dobosz, Roland, Ábrahám, Levente (2022): The new antlion genus Dominikon gen. nov. with the description of a new species Dominikon aspoecki sp. nov.

03CC87B7EF2DC9468FC925F89E75F828.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: The species is characterized by conspicuous markings on the forewing (Figs. 16 a – d). These spots and stripes occur with varying intensity but are much darker and more intense than in D. iranensis (Figs. 11, 18 a – d, 20 b) or D. lagopus (Figs. 9, 19 a – d, 20 c). The membrane between MP 1 and CuA 1 is marked with a continuous pale brown stripe, as in D. lagopus, but these markings are much more intense. In D. aspoecki, the brown line on Sc + R only extends beyond the pterostigma in the forewing. In D. lagopus, this line may be less marked, but it always occurs in the distal part of the forewing along Rs 1 + Ma before the pterostigma. The larva is unknown.	en	Krivokhatsky, Victor, Dobosz, Roland, Ábrahám, Levente (2022): The new antlion genus Dominikon gen. nov. with the description of a new species Dominikon aspoecki sp. nov.
