†Megacoxa is a recently described extinct genus of Megalyridae Schletterer, 1889 from Kachin amber with three species until now. Here, we investigate four new fossils and integrate them in phylogenetic framework. We describe additional †Megacoxa: †M. brazideci sp. nov., gungner nov. mjoelner Furthermore, the previously unknown female synchrotron Brazidec et al., 2024. provide an emended diagnosis key to all recognized species. The continued expansion known Cretaceous diversity underlines...
Insects have evolved complex sensory systems that are important for feeding, defence and reproduction. Parasitoid wasps often spend much time effort in searching concealed hosts with the help of specialized sensilla. However, early evolution such behaviour sensilla is poorly known. We describe two fossil female wasps, †Tichostephanus kachinensis sp. nov. longus nov., from mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber. Phylogenetic analyses based on morphological data retrieved as deeply nested within...
Two new wasp species of Burmusculidae, Burmusculus abstrusus sp. nov. and primitivus are described from mid-Cretaceous amber Myanmar. The attributed to the family Burmusculidae share typical combination diagnostic features this family: forewing 2-M moderately short distinctly angled with Rs+M mesopleuron no oblique sulcus. We observe variation in presence/absence plantulae on tarsomeres spp. recommend that character is included diagnoses Burmusculidae. Tarsal also observed Pompilidae,...
