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.
