The delineation of antlion genera has often been based on morphological characters not tested in a phylogenetic context, thus seriously impairing the study of systematics of the family   Myrmeleontidae  . Nebulous generic limits also impede the taxonomy and study of the affinities of closely related species. As a case study, the generic placement of    Megistopus   mirabilis    Hölzel, 1980, was based on a single leg character. To test the position of this species, the reciprocal relationships of the members of the genera    Gymnocnemia    Schneider, 1845, and    Megistopus    Rambur, 1842 were investigated, using a morphology-based phylogenetic analysis. This approach demonstrated that    M.   mirabilis    should actually be assigned to the genus    Gymnocnemia   , as    G.   mirabilis    comb. n.  This analysis also supports the subdivision of the tribe   Nemoleontini   in two subclades based on morphology of male and female genitalia. A new characterisation of these genera is provided, as well as a redescription of the very rare    G.   mirabilis    and the poorly investigated    Megistopus   lucasi    (Navás, 1912). An updated identification key to the members of the genera    Gymnocnemia    and    Megistopus    is presented.
