Year: 2002
Volume: 48
Pages: 217-227.
Abstract: The central regions of Malesia, Wallacea, are the meeting place of the biota of two major geographical regions: Australia and the Oriental Region. Knowledge of the lacewings of Wallacea is reviewed, as an aid to assessing this faunal overlap and to understanding the origins and affinities of the Australian fauna. The constitution of the Malesian fauna of about 420 described species in 12 families is outlined, and the interacting faunas are tentatively appraised and defined.
