New faunal data on 26 species of Neuroptera and one species of Raphidioptera are provided from the Saratov Region. The data on their fauna in the region have been summarized and the state of knowledge has been assessed. Currently, 57 species of Neuroptera and three species of Raphidioptera have been recorded there; the expected number of species is 70-75 and 5-6, respectively. The species status of Apertochrysa abdominalis (Brauer, 1856) and its occurrence in Russia need confirmation. Chrysopa viridinervis Jakovleff, 1869 exhibits a well-defined sexual dimorphism: the female tergites are black, while green in the male.
