This work contains a taxonomic and bionomic information about the genus Euroleon Esben-Petersen, 1918 with two currently known species in the Caucasus and their distribution in Dagestan Republic, Russia. A small colony of larvae of the antlion Euroleon parvus Hlzel, 1972 was found in Dagestan near the permanent habitat of Euroleon nostras (Geoffroy in Fourcroy, 1785) on the territory of the Barkhan Sarykum, the part of Dagestan State Nature Reserve. The 2 nd instar larva of E. parvus is described for the first time and habitat conditions of larvae of this species are characterized. An evolutionary scenario for the genus Euroleon is proposed. New synonyms are proposed:
