Abstract
A mixed antlion community is recorded at the “Fringilla” Research Station, “Rybachii” Biological Station, Curonian Spit, Baltic Sea, Kaliningrad Province, Russia; the adults were captured using ornithological traps and the larvae were found on sand dunes around. The ratio of the larval numbers in the mixed colonies of Myrmeleon tschernovi sp. n., Myrmeleon formicarius L., and Euroleon nostras (Geoffr.) is 100: 3: 2. The new species is described, the other two are recorded in Kaliningrad Province for the first time. Morphologically, Myrmeleon tschernovi sp. n. is similar to Myrmeleon bore (Tjed.), being its neighbor in the Baltic Region and occupying its econiche. The most characteristic distinctions between these species are found in the male genitalia and in the larval head chaetotaxy and color pattern.
