Abstract


This is the first report of the strepsipteran species Eoxenos laboulbenei De Peyerimhoff, 1919 and Mengenilla sp. Hofeneder, 1910 on the Balearic Islands. Several males of E. laboulbenei were found in samples obtained using a UV light suction trap on a cattle farm in Majorca in October 2012. A number of empty male and female puparia of Mengenilla sp. were found in Ibiza in April 2003.
