  • Atricholeon

    Atricholeon is a genus of antlions in the family Myrmeleontidae, established by Stange in 1994. The genus is distinguished by reduced or absent trichosors (fringe hairs along the wing margin), a characteristic that gives the genus its name. Species within this genus are found in the Neotropical region. As with other antlions, adults are aerial predators while larvae are sit-and-wait predators that construct pit traps in sandy substrates.
