Adult. Labial palpus short, palpimacula not extending to apex; hind femur without sensory hair; pretarsal claws not toothed nor strongly bent near base; tibial spurs present or absent; fore wing vein CuP originates distad of cross vein m-cu; fore wing vein 2A runs in a fairly even curve toward 3A; pilula axillaris present, usually well developed; hind wing vein CuA runs close to hind margin, ends near medial fork; hind wing radial sector originates before medial fork, 2 or 3 presectoral cross veins; male abdomen without hair pencils or postventral lobe; male paramere plate-like; female anterior gonapophysis plate-like or membranous; posterior gonapophysis inflated; pregenital plate with tooth; gonapophyseal plate large; female ectoproct with digging setae.</p> <p>Larva. Mandibular bases close together, separated by about basal width of mandible; mandible with 3 teeth, middle tooth closer to distal tooth than basal tooth; distal tooth not shorter than middle tooth; abdomen without dolichasters or tufted setae along median area, sometimes with lateral scoli.</p> <p>Biology. Larvae are either free living in sand (Tyttholeon Adams), live in protected areas (rock overhangs) (Menkeleon) or live on rocks or tree trunks (Gnopholeon Stange). The larvae of Maracandula are unknown, but evidence suggests they are associated with rocks. Some species (especially Maracandula) are afternoon fliers.</p> <p>Discussion. This tribe is characteristic of the Sonoran Region. The larvae of the different genera are among the most diverse found in the family and are quite distinct one from another. The main defining feature of this tribe is the larval structure, especially the close proximity of the mandibular bases. The adults differ from the Brachynemurini in lacking any well-developed postventral lobe on the male ectoproct and, probably more importantly, in the structure of the female terminalia which have the posterior gonapophysis inflated or enlarged and/or with an enlarged pregenital plate. Most of the genera (except Gnopholeon Stange) lack tibial spurs.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039F87A86D5088389999FA69FECDFDE5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Antenna with flagellomeres II-IV longer than wide; legs moderately long and slender, fore femur more than 1.5 times longer than fore coxa; hind basitarsus shorter or longer than distal tarsomere; femoral sense hair hardly distinguishable from surrounding bristles, one each on fore leg and mid leg; pretarsal claws weakly developed; tibial spurs absent; wings with banksian lines absent, hypostigmatic cell short, less than six times longer than high; posterior area of hind wing narrow, CuA bends to hind margin near medial fork; pilula axillaris well developed with setae covering most of dorsal surface of knob; male genitalia with rather simple gonarcus, free parameres; mesal margin of male ectoproct with short, rather truncate process near origin of weakly developed postventral lobe, somewhat produced ventrally; female terminalia with posterior gonapophysis extremely enlarged and swollen; lateral gonapophyses fused; pregenital plate pale narrow with median tooth; gonapophyseal plate expansive.</p> <p>Discussion. This genus is found only in Mexico. There are five known species that belong to two distinct species groups. The two species of the colima group are more similar to species of Menkeleon than are the three species of the pygmaeus group because they have the fore leg and mid leg basitarsus very elongate, the hypostigmatic cell longer and the eye larger. However, significant morphological differences between Maracandula and Menkeleon are found in the female terminalia (posterior gonapophysis much more inflated, lateral gonapophyses fused in Maracandula), base of fore wing emarginate and antenna modified (flagellomere I longer than wide). Miller and Stange (unpublished field notes) found four species flying in the afternoon. The habitat was invariably one with abundant rocks and usually grasses. Maracandula apicalis (Banks) was found commonly flying around red top grasses in central Mexico, mostly in sunken areas. The female terminalia suggest that the eggs are laid on rocks but the larvae are unknown. The short hypostigmatic cell is an uncommon character in the family. The female terminalia of Menkeleon differ from those of Tyttholeon Adams in the small pregenital plate and from Maracandula Currie by the separated lateral gonapophyses and the smaller posterior gonapophysis. Menkeleon differs from Maracandula by the less modified eyes, and lack of prominent subbasal emargination of the fore wing. The afternoon flying habits of Maracandula are very unusual since nearly all species of antlions are active at night. Afternoon flying is also documented in the South African genera Pamares Mansell and Pamexis Hagen. The species of Maracandula have reduced eyes and antennal flagellomeres that are probably correlated to their diurnal activity.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039F87A86D51883F9999FB5FFE93F96C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
