This species is nearly related to frontalis and very 
similar with it, but it 
is easily distinct from 
it by the following cha- 
racters. 
Wings in rest equal in 
length, relatively shorter 
and broader, tips some- 
what broader. Nervature 
more open. 
Body darker fuscous, 
the head broader, labrum 
and mouthparts yellow, 
the two apical joints of 
the palpi dark brown to 
black. Eyes surrounded 
by a very narrow yellow 
line. Vertex and occi- 
put dark plumbeous 
grey, with indistinct 
deep black markings 
(fig. 19), which are

Myrmeleon acer javanensis, n. subsp.
