The complex of the pale green lacewing Chrysopa pallens (Rambur, 1838) sensu lato (Neuropterida, Chrysopidae)

The outline of the male distal abdominal sternites and of the claws of the green lacewing Chrysopa pallens (Rambur, 1838) were compared to that of the sibling species C. gibeauxi (Leraut, 1989). In addition, a possible synonymy of C. gibeauxi with the far-eastern Asian species C. septemmaculata Tsukaguchi, 1995, was investigated but not retained for the benefit of vicariant taxa status.Le complexe de la Chrysope pâle Chrysopa pallens (Rambur, 1838) sensu lato (Neuroptera, Chrysopidae). La silhouette des derniers sternites abdominaux et des griffes de Chrysopa pallens (Rambur, 1838) est comparée à celle de l’espèce jumelle Chrysopa gibeauxi (Leraut, 1989). En outre, la possible synonymie de C. gibeauxi avec l’espèce d’Extrême-Orient C. septemmaculata Tsukaguchi, 1995, est envisagée mais non retenue en faveur du statut de vicariant.Canard Michel, Thierry Dominique.
