Speleon is a genus of[1] antlions, that is, belonging to the family Myrmeleontidae.[2]
The genus was first described by Miller and Stange in 2012.[2][1] Despite frequently being referred to as "cave dwelling," Miller and Strange describe them as not being true cave-dwelling antlions, because not all life stages are confined to caves.[1]
