New faunistic data are reported on 43 species of Neuroptera and three species of Raphidioptera from the Republic of Mordovia, of which 7 species of Neuroptera are recorded from Mordovia for the first time: Helicoconis lutea (Wallengren, 1871), Conwentzia pineticola Enderlein, 1905, Semidalis aleyrodiformis (Stephens, 1836) (Coniopterygidae), Wesmaelius ravus (Withycombe, 1923), Sympherobius elegans (Stephens, 1836) and Hemerobius stigma Stephens, 1836 (Hemerobiidae), Distoleon tetragrammicus (Fabricius, 1798) (Myrmeleontidae). In total, 49 species of Neuroptera and 5 species of Raphidioptera (one species has been identified only to the genus level) are known from Mordovia to date. The boreal botanical and geographical region has been examined the most; it has been found to house all the species of Neuroptera known from Mordovia, except Sympherobius pygmaeus and D. tetragrammicus . The latter species is typical for more southern forest-steppe and steppe regions of Russia.
