Type species: Myrmeleon asakurae Okamoto, 1910: 297 . Original designation. Balaga Navás, 1912b: 111 . Type species: Myrmeleon micans McLachlan, 1875: 176 . Original designation. Baga Navás, 1930a: 37 . Type species: Balaga montana Navás, 1930a: 38 . Monotypy. Diagnosis Baliga is quite similar to Hagenomyia and Myrmeleon but can be distinguished from Hagenomyia by the female anterior gonocoxites 8 relatively shorter than posterior gonocoxites 8 (these two female genital sclerites are nearly equal length in Hagenomyia ) and from Myrmeleon by the presence of interconnected crossveins in the costal area of forewing (these interconnected crossveins are absent in Myrmeleon ). Distribution Baliga currently includes 17 described species, predominantly distributed in the Oriental (12 species) and Palaearctic regions (4 spp.: China , Japan , and Korea ) with a single species in Australia ( Queensland ). It is widely distributed in the Oriental region: Bangladesh , China , India , Myanmar , Sri Lanka , Vietnam , and the main islands of Indonesia , Malaysia , Micronesia , Philippines , Japan , and Korea ( Ghosh 2000 ; Stange 2004 ; Bao et al. 2007 ; Hayashi et al. 2020 ).
