Abstract
In the period 1992-2001 Neuroptera were collected in a light trap located
at the roof of the Zoological Museum of Copenhagen 17,5 m
above the ground. A total of 4878 specimens were collected belonging
to 27 species (Tabel 1). Most interesting were the findings of the two
species Parasemidalis fuscipennis (Reuter, 1894) and Sympherobius pygmaeus
(Rambur, 1842). Only very few specimens were known from Denmark
until know. In 2012 Neuroptera were also collected at the roof of
the Zoological Museum of Copenhagen (Tabel 2). The Neuroptera
caught in the light trap represents 41%of the known Danish species of
this insect group. The number of Neuroptera species is compared with
those of other insect groups collected in the same light trap. The efficiency
of automatic light traps for collecting of insect is discussed.
