Rovnodiplosis eduardi gen. et sp. nov., the first record of a fossil gall midge of the supertribe Mycodiplosidi (Diptera, Cecidomyioidea, Cecidomyiidae) in the Late Eocene of the Rovno amber

Аннотация

Higher gall midges of the supertribe Mycodiplosidi, subfamily Cecidomyiinae, are recorded for the first time in Late Eocene Rovno amber. In other fossil resins, Mycodiplosidi have not yet been recorded. A male Rovnodiplosis eduardi gen. et sp. nov. (Mycodiplosidi), with distinctive binodose flagellomeres having long loopy sensilla is described. Species of Cecidomyiinae known from fossil resins are listed.
