The International Association for Neuropterology
resolved at its founding meeting in Cairo in May 1994 'to provide a forum for communication
between persons interested in the study of Neuropteroidea'. This, the official web site of the International
Association for Neuropterology (IAN), has been conceived in order to fulfill that resolution.
In the main, this is a web site for specialists, but we welcome and encourage
visitors. Neuroptera.com
is a portal, linking and supporting the study of insects in the Neuropterida group (i.e.
Megaloptera, Raphidioptera & Neuroptera). The bulk of research
in this group is carried out on Neuroptera. Neuropterida are net-winged insects, represented by our logo
(a member of the family Nemopteridae) and other insects in our gallery. Many are important predators, such as Green-lacewings
and Ant-lions, the most familiar members of the Neuroptera to non-specialists.
The International Association of
Neuropterology was founded in Cairo on 5 May 1994.
Article 1. - The Association
shall be known as the INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR NEUROPTEROLOGY. The objective of the
Association is to provide a forum for communication between persons interested in the study of
Neuropteroidea. The Association should operate on a non-profit basis.
Article 2. - Approval of membership of the Association shall
be vested in the Board.
Article 3. - The Association
shall arrange a Symposium every three years, and this shall also include a meeting of the
General Assembly of the International Association for Neuropterology. Only members in good
standing will be eligible to vote at the General Assembly.
Article
4. - The association shall be administered by a board of at least four (4) members who are
elected by the General Assembly to serve until the next meeting. Members of the board are eligible
for re-election. The board reserves the right to co-opt additional members. The board shall
comprise a president, a vice president, a secretary and a treasurer. An editor and two additional
members may also serve on the board.
Article 5. - The
treasurer shall submit a detailed annual financial statement to the board. The financial
statements will be made available to members upon request.
Article
6. - Membership fees will be determined by the General Assembly. In exceptional cases
membership fees may be waived at the discretion of the board.
Members Area is still under construction. All members of
the IAN will get the possibility to benefit by their membership. You will get an e-mail address
like YourName@NEUROPTERA.COM, get the possibility to publish your on line data etc. To become a member of the
International Association for Neuropterology you may complete and mail the Membership flyer (download
PDF or DOC), contact the secretary, or directly contact the treasurer of
IAN:

"Neuroweb is an information nexus for the neuropterologist
and can be used by anybody with access to the internet ... Neuroweb was initiated by John Oswald in early 1996, and Peter McEwen joined
the project shortly thereafter . This ambitious project aims to bring together all Neuroptera-related
information on the internet and as such includes the following resources:" (McEwen & Oswald, 1998)

the exchange of information, opinions, questions and answers, related to insects in the orders
Neuroptera (e.g. lacewings, alder flies, snake flies, mantis flies, ant-lions) and Mecoptera
(e.g. scorpion flies, hang flies). Anyone can subscribe and post to this list. You may subscribe

The goal of the Neuropterists'
Directory project is to compile an accurate and up-to-date listing of "directory information"
about individuals and companies interested in neuropterid insects (orders Neuroptera, Megaloptera and
Raphidioptera). The
directory is a joint project, founded by John D. Oswald
(U.S.A.) and Peter McEwen (U.K.). John
D. Oswald is principally responsible for the solicitation and maintenance of data on individual
neuropterists, and personnel associated with these entities.
