Froggattisca is a genus of cave-dwelling[1] antlions, that is, the genus belongs to the family Myrmeleontidae.[2]
The genus was first described by Peter Esben-Petersen in 1915.[2][3] The genus name honours W.W. Froggatt who, in 1900 at Colo Vale, NSW, collected the female specimen described by Esben-Petersen as Froggattisca pulchella.[3]
Miller and Stange describe members of the genus as not being true cave-dwelling antlions, because not all life stages are confined to caves.[1] The genus is found only in Australia.[1] Froggattisca larvae are found on the floors of cave mouths in shallow dust or loose material.[1]
This genus consists of approximately nine species:[2][4][5]
