LACEWINGS (INSECTA: NEUROPTERIDA) IN THE ŠTEFAN MICHIELI’S ENTOMOLOGICAL COLLECTION Dušan De v e t a k Department of Biology, Laboratory of a nimal Physiology and e thology, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, University of Maribor, k oroška cesta 160, 2000 Maribor, Slovenia; dusan.devetak@guest.arnes.si Abstract – Štefan Michieli (1933-1968), Slovenian entomologist and physiologist, best known for the study of butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera) in Slovenia and the Balkan countries, was an outstanding lepidopterist. Slovenian e ntomological Society is bearing his name. In addition to the Lepidoptera, he also collected small insect orders – e mbioptera, Mecoptera and neuropterid orders. In nineties of the 20 th century, a cademician Professor Matija Gogala transferred the Michieli’s collection of the Neuropterida to the author of this paper. It is believed that the inspected small neu- ropterid collection is only a part of formerly larger one, which had been partially de- stroyed or specimens lost. t he remaining collection was restored and specimens identified to species level where possible. t he restored collection contains one alderfly (Megaloptera) species, two snakefly (Raphidioptera) species, and 44 lacewing (Neu- roptera) species. Collected specimens originate from Slovenia, Croatia and Montene- gro. t he total species number collected in Slovenia is surprisingly high and represents approx. 37% of the number of the Neuropterida species known nowadays in Slovenia. Štefan Michieli identified 76 individuals and his determinations were mostly made correctly. k e y w o RDS: history of entomology, Neuroptera, Megaloptera, Raphidioptera, Slove- nia Izvleček – MRe Že k RILCI (INSe Ct a : Ne URo Pt e RIDa ) v e Nt o Mo Lo Šk I ZBIRk I Št e Fa Na MICHIe LIJa Štefana Michielija (1933-1968), slovenskega entomologa in fiziologa, ki ga najbolje poznamo po raziskavah metuljev (Lepidoptera) Slovenije in Balkana, imamo za iz- 27 ACTA ENTOMOLOGICA SLOVENICA LJUBLJANA, JUNIJ 2021 Vol. 29, øt. 1: 27–38 jemnega lepidopterologa.

Poleg metuljev je zbiral tudi predstavnike manjših redov žuželk – nogoprelcev (e m- bioptera), kljunavcev (Mecoptera) in mrežekrilcev. v devetdesetih letih 20. stoletja je akademik prof. Matija Gogala prenesel Michielijevo zbirko mrežekrilcev avtorju tega prispevka. Prav gotovo je sedanja zbirka le del nekoč večje zbirke, ki je bila de- loma uničena ali so bili primerki izgubljeni. Preostanek zbirke smo restavrirali in osebke določili do vrst, kjer je bilo mogoče. Restavrirana zbirka mrežekrilcev vključuje eno vrsto velekrilcev (Megaloptera), dve vrsti kamelovratnic (Raphidioptera) in 44 vrst pravih mrežekrilcev (Neuroptera). o sebki izvirajo iz Slovenije, Hrvaške in Črne gore. 42 vrst mrežekrilcev v širšem smislu (Neuropterida) je iz Slovenije, kar je pre- senetljivo veliko, saj predstavljajo pribl. 37% vrst vseh, ki jih danes poznamo iz Slo- venije. Štefan Michieli je določil 76 osebkov in njegove determinacije so v veliki večini pravilne. k LJUČNe Be Se De: zgodovina entomologije, mrežekrilci, blatnice, kamelovratnice, Slo- venija Introduction Neuropterological investigations in Slovenia have a rich tradition. t he oldest doc- umented record of any lacewing in the country dates back to the year 1685 when Janez v ajkard v alvasor (1641-1693) prepared an unpublished collection of aquarelles Acta entomologica slovenica, 29 (1), 2021 28 Fig. 1. Štefan Michieli (1933-1968). of Slovenian plants and animals, among them also an excellent illustration of one lacewing species (v alvasor 1685; w raber at al. 1990). Research of the neuropterology in Slovenia started in 1763 with the Scopoli’s famous Entomologia carniolica con- taining a description of three new neuropteran species (Scopoli 1763). In 20 th century, in the period after the w w II, a new era of the study of Slovenian insects begun. In 1952, the Slovenian e ntomological Society was founded and an outstanding zoologist Štefan Michieli (1933-1968) (Fig. 1) promoted progress in en- tomology as a mentor of young students and a brilliant researcher. Professor Michieli who was well known as a lepidopterologist was also a founder of a nimal Physiology at the University of Ljubljana (Gogala 2018). His lepidopterological collection is now deposited in the Natural History Museum of Slovenia in Ljubljana. His focus in the field of entomology was – besides butterflies and moths – small insect orders, such as e mbioptera, Mecoptera and neuropterid orders (Raphidioptera, Megaloptera, Neuroptera). w hile Michieli studied biology of two western Balkan embiopteran species thoroughly (Michieli 1956, 1958; Michieli & Bole 1956; Bole 1978), unfor- tunately, he did not publish any paper on faunistics of Neuropterida in Slovenia. First comprehensive lists of Neuropterida and Mecoptera in Slovenia were published only three decades later, in 1984 and 1988 (Devetak 1984, 1988). During his lepidopterological field trips in the Balkan countries, Michieli collected Neuroptera occasionally. w ell known is his interest for spoonwings (Nemopteridae) and after his death, the distribution of a species Nemoptera sinuata o livier, 1811 (Fig. 2) in North Macedonia also based on his collection was presented by Popov (1970).

Michieli. t he logo contained a figure of the spoonwing species Nemoptera sinuata. Štefan Michieli collected lacewings and identified most of the specimens. a fter his premature death, nobody took care of his lacewing collection and a part of it was crumbling. In nineties of the 20 th century, a cademician Professor Matija Gogala left the Michieli’s collection of the Neuropterida to the author of this paper. Now, this collection is deposited in the e ntomological Collections of the Natural History Museum of Slovenia in Ljubljana. In the present paper, a revision of Michieli’s col- lection and a list of species with localities are provided. Material and methods Insects were originally preserved in glass vials, filled with 70% ethanol. Later, the medium evaporated and some of the specimens were more or less damaged or even destroyed by pests (Fig. 3 a , B). a fter restoration, dried specimens are pre- served in original glass vials (Fig. 3 C, D). Specimens were identified to species level where possible. For identification we used a spöck et al. (1980). Reliable identification of Wesmaelius-females was only possible by means of examination of their genitalia. Genital preparations were made by clearing the apex of the ab- Acta entomologica slovenica, 29 (1), 2021 30 Fig. 3. a part of the Michieli’s neuropterid collection before (a , B) and after (C, D) the reconstruction. domen in saturated k o H solution. Nomenclature has been used in accordance with o swald (2017). Results and discussion w e believe that the investigated small collection is only a part of formerly larger one, which had been partially destroyed or specimens lost. t he collection after restora- tion (Fig. 3) contains 184 specimens belonging to 47 neuropterid species – one alderfly (Megaloptera) species, two snakefly (Raphidioptera) species, and 44 lacewing (Neuroptera) species (t able 1). Collected specimens originate from Slovenia, Croatia and Montenegro. t he total species number is surprisingly high. Forty-two neuropterid species originating from Slovenia represents 37% of the Slovenian fauna (Devetak 2018). Štefan Michieli identified 76 individuals and most of his determinations were made correctly. Collected lacewings are common species, wide spread in Slovenia (Devetak 2018). In the period after w w II, in Michieli’s times, any similar collection of the neuropterid orders did not exist in Slovenia. Neuropterids were, besides other taxa, also a subject for the study of visual prop- erties of insect eyes. Professor Michieli and his colleague professor Matija Gogala studied the structure and function of owlfly compound eyes in a context of Uv - vision (Gogala and Michieli 1965). Later, after Michieli’s death, the research initiated by the both scientists lead to the discovery and isolation of the first known Uv -pho- topigment in invertebrates (Gogala et al. 1970; Hamdorf et al. 1971). Štefan Michieli died very young, in the age of 35. He was the first Slovenian en- tomologist studying Neuropterida in the country. If he had lived longer, he would have a greater impact on the world neuropterology. Acknowledgement I am very grateful to a cademician Professor Matija Gogala who transmitted the Michieli’s collection of the Neuropterida to me.
