Description
Myrmeleon paghmanus Hölzel, 1972
Myrmeleon paghmanus Hölzel, 1972: 37. Type locality: Pakistan (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa: Swat; GabralTal).
Diagnosis
Myrmeleon paghmanus can be characterized by the combination of the following characters: clypeus yellow, medially with two rounded brownish markings; pronotum dark brown, medially with a narrow longitudinal complete yellow stripe, laterally with a narrow yellow stripe at proximal half wings lack pipula axillaris in males; male gonocoxites 9 arcuate at distal margin in ventral view.
Note
Up till now, this species is only known from Afghanistan and Pakistan. No new specimens of this species were found in this study.
Distribution
Pakistan: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province (District Swat, Gabral-Tal); Afghanistan (Hölzel 1972; Stange 2004; Hassan et al. 2019; Oswald 2020).
Molecular identification
The present phylogenetic analysis based on COI and 16S rRNA genes shows that there is strong support for the monophyly of Baliga clade for Japanese species by BI, ML, and NJ methods, which, however, did not comprise Baliga kashmirensis sp. nov. from Pakistan. Based on COI genes, Baliga kashmirensis sp. nov. was assigned to be within a monophylum with M. tenuipennis and M. taiwanensis Miller & Stange, 1999. However, the monophyly of Baliga kashmirensis sp. nov. with M. tenuipennis, M. hyalinus, M. trivialis, and the M. formicarius clade is recovered with relatively low nodal support values. For now, the present phylogenetic analysis is largely focused on species identification due to incomplete taxon sampling. The genetic divergence between B. kashmirensis sp. nov. and the species of Myrmeleon was 0.139 –0.188 and that between this new species and the other species of Baliga was 0.153 –0.186. The greatest intraspecific divergence (0.049) was found respectively in B. ryukyuensis Hayashi & Matsumoto, 2020 and M. hyalinus. The minimum and maximum interspecific genetic divergence between species of Baliga and Myrmeleon ranged from 0.074 –0.186, and 0.123 –0.188, respectively.
