Los rafidiópteros de la Península Ibérica (Insecta, Neuropterida: Raphidioptera)

The present contribution revises the snake-fly species present in the fauna of the Iberian Peninsula where, to date, is represented by 16 species belonging to 9 genera of both actual families. After a diagnosis of the order and its paleontological history, there are exposed some general data on its morphology and biology, juvenile stages, behavior and distribution, as well as the used terminology, and is commented a brief introduction on the history in the knowledge of the order, and in particular in the Iberian Peninsula. It is included a list of the species belonging to the Iberian fauna and an identification key of families, genera, and species listed in the Iberian Peninsula. For every one of these taxa are compiled and annotated all the existing bibliographic general references, as those relating to the species present in the studied area, both with the currently accepted name, their synonyms and/ or any other nomenclatural combinations under which they have been recorded. Of each species is also detailed the present knowledge of its external morphology, genital variability, juvenile stages, biology, phenology and altitudinal and geographic distribution in the Peninsula, providing the now studied material, mostly unrecorded (1,073 studied specimens), and the corresponding distribution maps of these species in the studied area.
