TI  - Cytogenetic study on antlions (Neuroptera, Myrmeleontidae): first data on 
      telomere structure and rDNA location.

AB  - Myrmeleontidae, commonly known as "antlions", are the most diverse family of the 
      insect order Neuroptera, with over 1700 described species (in 191 genera) of 
      which 37 species (in 21 genera) have so far been studied in respect to standard 
      karyotypes. In the present paper we provide first data on the occurrence of the 
      "insect-type" telomeric repeat (TTAGG) (n) and location of 18S rDNA clusters in 
      the antlion karyotypes studied using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). 
      We show that males of Palpares libelluloides (Linnaeus, 1764) (Palparinae), 
      Acanthaclisis occitanica (Villers, 1789) (Acanthaclisinae) and Distoleon 
      tetragrammicus (Fabricius, 1798) (Nemoleontinae) have rDNA clusters on a large 
      bivalent, two last species having an additional rDNA cluster on one of the sex 
      chromosomes, most probably the X. (TTAGG) (n) - containing telomeres are clearly 
      characteristic of Palpares libelluloides and Acanthaclisis occitanica; the 
      presence of this telomeric motif in Distoleon tetragrammicus is questionable. In 
      addition, we detected the presence of the (TTAGG) (n) telomeric repeat in 
      Libelloides macaronius (Scopoli, 1763) from the family Ascalaphidae (owlflies), a 
      sister group to the Myrmeleontidae. We presume that the "insect" motif (TTAGG) 
      (n) was present in a common ancestor of the families Ascalaphidae and 
      Myrmeleontidae within the neuropteran suborder Myrmeleontiformia.
