A new genus and species of Dipteromantispidae, namely Halteriomantispa grimaldii gen. et sp. nov., is herein described based on an exquisitely preserved specimen from the mid-Cretaceous amber of northern Myanmar. It represents the first record of Dipteromantispidae from the amber deposit of mid-Cretaceous （Albian-Cenomanian） of Myanmar. A brief discussion on the homology of forewing venations and female genital sclerites of Dipteromantispidae is given.展开更多

The new genus is distinguished from all other dustywing species by the combination of following morphological features： relatively large body-size, comparatively rich crossvenation, origin of RP＋MA near wing base in both fore-and hindwing, forewing RA and RP terminally fused into a loop, and proximally zig-zagged forewing Cu P. A new subfamily, Cretaconiopteryginae subfam. nov., is erected based on this spectacular new genus. The new subfamily might represent the basalmost lineage of known coniopterygids.展开更多
