Atricholeon tuberculatus
Atricholeon tuberculatus is a species of antlion in the family Myrmeleontidae, first described by Banks in 1899 under the basionym Brachynemurus tuberculatus. The species is distributed across North and Middle America. As with other antlions, adults are aerial predators while larvae are ambush predators that construct pit traps in sandy substrates. The genus Atricholeon is characterized by reduced wing venation and specific structural features distinguishing it from related genera.
