چکیده
The Cretaceous family Spathiopterygidae (Hymenoptera: Diaprioidea), containing five species in four genera, showed a wide distribution from the upper Barremian to Turonian. We describe two new representatives of Albian San Just outcrop eastern Iberian Peninsula that correspond Diameneura marveni gen. et sp. nov. Santer and Álvarez-Parra female member Mymaropsis turolensis Engel Ortega-Blanco, 2013. forewing venation is interpreted, allowing an appropriate comparison for future descriptions. Furthermore, we provide diagnosis baabdaensis since no was proposed initial paper. indicate taphonomic characteristics newly described specimens, discuss interrelationships family, insights about sexual dimorphism palaeobiology spathiopterygids.

متن کاملA new Cretaceous family of enigmatic two-winged lacewings (Neuroptera)
Insects of the order Neuroptera usually bear four welldeveloped wings. However, there are a few brachypterous, micropterous or apterous species, found in several extant families (see a short review below). Grimaldi (2000) described the enigmatic fossil neuropteran genus Mantispidiptera Grimaldi and its two minute species M. enigmatica Grimaldi and M. henryi Grimaldi (forewings 2.63–3.12 mm long...

The taxonomic placement of an enigmatic species of wasp known from two specimens in Late Cretaceous New Jersey amber is investigated through cladistic analyses of 90 morphological characters for 33 terminals ranging across non-Aculeata, non-Chrysidoidea, most subfamilies of Chrysidoidea and all genera of Plumariidae (the family to which the fossils were initially assigned), based on use of exem...

Several possible nechanisns ofautoinutune response leading to tlrc developntent o;fautoitutnune diseases are discnssed briefly herein. Failure of both B and T cell tolerance, lack of suppressor T cell functiotts, an apoptosis defect, increased etpressiott of suPerantigens, adverse effects of c1'tokines and possible uicrobial infecrions have all been proposed as tlrc tnechanisns of autoiuuune re...
متن کاملNew insights into the evolution of C-1 family cadherins
Specific cell-cell adhesion and intracellular communication are key processes in multicellular animals, and members of the cadherin superfamily are essential players in these processes. Evolutionary origin of the modern C-1 family in metazoan has been established based on bioinformatic tools using Neighbor-Joining (NJ) algorithm and the EC1 first cadherin-repeat sequence a very narrow segment ...
