Abstract
A remarkable new genus and species of Nevrorthidae, Sisyroneurorthus aspoeckorumgen. et sp. nov., is described from mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber of northern Myanmar. This new species is the second Mesozoic representative of Nevrorthidae. The distal fusion of ScP and RA in the forewing of this new genus is shared by most Sisyridae. Given the probable sister-group relationship between Nevrorthidae and Sisyridae, our study sheds light on the evolution and morphological diversity of Nevrorthidae in the Mesozoic era.
期刊介绍:
Founded in 1857 as Berliner Entomologische Zeitschrift, Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift is one of the World''s oldest international journals of systematic entomology. It publishes original research papers in English on the systematics, taxonomy, phylogeny, comparative morphology, and biogeography of insects. Other arthropods are also considered where of relevance to the biology of insects. The geographical scope of the journal is worldwide.
Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift (DEZ) is dedicated to provide an open access, high-quality forum to contribute to the documentation of insect species, their distribution, their properties, and their phylogenetic relationships. All submitted manuscripts are subject to peer-review by the leading specialists for the respective topic. The journal is published in open access high-resolution PDF, semantically enriched HTML and machine-readable XML versions.
