Abstract

The pleasing lacewing genus Dilar Rambur, 1838, is poorly known from South Asia, previously only three species were accounted. Here, we present a revision of Dilar from South Asia, with descriptions of five new species, namely Dilar austroindicus sp. nov., Dilar biprojectus sp. nov., Dilar clavatus sp. nov., Dilar miralobatus sp. nov., and Dilar truncatus sp. nov. In addition, Dilar nietneri Hagen, 1858, from Sri Lanka is re-described. A key to males of Dilar from South Asia is provided.
