Meoneura
Rondani, 1856
The genus
Meoneura
is by far the largest genus of
Carnidae
and there are 91 valid species known. The Nearctic species can be identified with
Sabrosky (1959
,
1961
). The basis for the identification of the Palaearctic species reported here are the keys of
Collin (1930)
and
Papp (1978)
. Additionally, the original descriptions of all species that are published later are taken into account. The identification of those species that cannot be identified with the keys of
Collin (1930)
and
Papp (1978)
are discussed in detail below. At present, only males can be identified with characters of the postabdomen.
