The orders Neuroptera and Raphidioptera include the species of insects known as lacewings and snakeflies, respectively. In Portugal, these groups account for over 100 species, some of which are very difficult to identify by morphological analysis. This work is the first to sample and DNA sequence lacewings and snakeflies of Portugal. A reference collection was built with captured specimens that were identified morphologically. DNA barcode sequences of 658 bp were obtained from 243 specimens of 54 species. The results showed that most species can be successfully identified through DNA barcoding, with the exception of seven species of Chrysopidae (Neuroptera). Additionally, the first published distribution data are presented for Portugal for the neuropterans Gymnocnemia variegata (Schneider, 1845) and Myrmecaelurus (Myrmecaelurus) trigrammus (Pallas, 1771).

葡萄牙草蛉（Neuroptera）和蛇（Raphidioptera）（昆虫纲、神经翅目）的DNA条形码

Neuroptera 和 Raphidioptera 目分别包括被称为草蛉和蛇蝇的昆虫种类。在葡萄牙，这些群体有 100 多种，其中一些很难通过形态分析来识别。这项工作是第一个对葡萄牙草蛉和蛇蝇进行采样和 DNA 测序的工作。参考集合是用从形态学上识别的捕获标本建立的。从 54 个物种的 243 个标本中获得了 658 bp 的 DNA 条形码序列。结果表明，除金翅目（Neuroptera）7种外，大多数物种都可以通过DNA条形码成功识别。此外，首次公布的葡萄牙神经翅目 Gymnocnemia variegata (Schneider, 1845) 和 Myrmecaelurus (Myrmecaelurus) trigrammus (Pallas,
