Baliga micans is similar to B. ryukuensis Hayashi & Matsumoto, 2020 from southern Japan (Amami Island, Tokunoshima Island, Okinawa Island) in general appearance (Hayashi et al. 2020). Compared to B. micans, the male of B. ryukyuensis has a larger sternite IX, an un-sclerotized dorsolateral edge, and more separated and sclerotized parameres. In females, B. ryukyuensis differs by having slightly shorter lateral gonapophyses (Hayashi et al. 2020). It is easily distinguished from B. asakurae (Okamoto, 1910) and B. kimurai Hayashi, 2020 by the size of the pterostigma and the color pattern on the pronotum (Hayashi et al. 2020). In larvae, mandibles have three equidistant teeth with the apical tooth slightly stronger. Abdominal sternite IX is elongated and has 0 – 2 short digging setae in front of rastra.	en	Kim, Jiseung, Ahn, Neung-Ho, Kim, Sora (2025): A taxonomic review of the family Myrmeleontidae Latreille (Neuroptera, Myrmeleontiformia) from the Korean peninsula, highlighting the conservation value of this family.

E818B5F58C2259988FDDD2969000983D.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Myrmeleon bore is similar to M. formicarius in general appearance. The two species can be distinguished by differences in the Banksian line, the pilula axillaris, and the larval hind coxa. In M. bore, the posterior Banksian lines in the forewings are distinct, while they are indistinct in M. formicarius. Myrmeleon bore has a pilula axillaris in males, whereas it is absent in M. formicarius. Unlike the larvae of M. formicarius, which have some dark markings on the hind coxa, the larvae of M. bore have no such markings.	en	Kim, Jiseung, Ahn, Neung-Ho, Kim, Sora (2025): A taxonomic review of the family Myrmeleontidae Latreille (Neuroptera, Myrmeleontiformia) from the Korean peninsula, highlighting the conservation value of this family.

394B60CE862D5A2D844E42C24E11491A.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Synclisis japonica is easily distinguished from the other Korean Myrmeleontidae species by its large body size and long wingspan. Thorax and legs are densely hairy. Tergite V and proximal half of tergite VI are densely covered with appressed shiny silver pubescence in male. In larvae, the orange area at the base of the mandible reaches the second tooth. The center of the clypeo-labrum lacks a median longitudinal black stripe. Abdominal sternite VIII has several large setae. This species is similar to Synclisis kawaii (Nakahara, 1913) from southern China in general appearance. The two species can be distinguished by differences in the Banksian line and the marking pattern of the pronotum. In S. japonica, the anterior and posterior Banksian lines on the forewings and hindwings are distinct, while they are indistinct in S. kawaii. Synclisis japonica has a distinct black stripe on the pronotum, whereas in S. kawaii, it is faint (Sekimoto 2014).	en	Kim, Jiseung, Ahn, Neung-Ho, Kim, Sora (2025): A taxonomic review of the family Myrmeleontidae Latreille (Neuroptera, Myrmeleontiformia) from the Korean peninsula, highlighting the conservation value of this family.
