Abstract
We report a 35 million-year-old lacewing larva from Ukrainian amber. This insect larva has a morphology up to now only known from 100 million-year-old amber. Therefore, this morphology survived more than 60 million years longer than previously assumed. Our find contradicts the common notion that the fauna 35 million years ago was already very modern.
期刊介绍:
Insect Science is an English-language journal, which publishes original research articles dealing with all fields of research in into insects and other terrestrial arthropods. Papers in any of the following fields will be considered: ecology, behavior, biogeography, physiology, biochemistry, sociobiology, phylogeny, pest management, and exotic incursions. The emphasis of the journal is on the adaptation and evolutionary biology of insects from the molecular to the ecosystem level. Reviews, mini reviews and letters to the editor, book reviews, and information about academic activities of the society are also published.
