چکیده
Two new peculiar mid-Cretaceous braconid genera, Megalyrhyssalus gen. nov. (type species clavicornis sp. nov.) and Stephanorhyssalus longiscapus nov.), are described illustrated from Burmese amber. According to the particular morphology wing venation of a subfamily Megalyrhyssalinae subfam. is created. The Seneciobraconinae synonymised under Protorhyssalinae (syn. nov.). Additionally, key genera Braconidae having second recurrent vein (2m-cu) in forewing provided.

It is similar to Arescon on wing features but is unique among Mymaridae in having distinctly segmented palpi. It is the fifth mymarid genus definitely referable to the Cretaceous period.

متن کاملMummified precocial bird wings in mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber
Our knowledge of Cretaceous plumage is limited by the fossil record itself: compression fossils surrounding skeletons lack the finest morphological details and seldom preserve visible traces of colour, while discoveries in amber have been disassociated from their source animals. Here we report the osteology, plumage and pterylosis of two exceptionally preserved theropod wings from Burmese amber...

A new genus of ants, Zigrasimecia Barden and Grimaldi, is described for a new and uniquely specialized species, Z. tonsora Barden and Grimaldi n.sp., preserved in Cretaceous amber from Myanmar. The amber is radiometrically dated at 99 myo. Zigrasimecia is closely related to another basal genus of ants known only in Burmese and French Cretaceous amber, Sphecomyrmodes Engel and Grimaldi, based in...
