Abstract

ABSTRACT We present the description of a new species of Limoniidae Rondani, 1856. Trentepohlia (Paramongoma) miocenica Mederos & Wang n. sp. is described from resinites (little or poorly polymerized amber) of Yanigua Formation, in the Eastern District of Dominican Republic, well differentiated from the other species from the fossil record of Hispaniola to date, Trentepohlia (Paramongoma) agri Podenas & Poinar, 1999. A key to the five fossil species of the subgenus Paramongoma Brunetti, 1911 described to date is also offered. Since the biology of the immature stages of Paramongoma are associated with aquatic microhabitats (such as phytotelmata and small mountain streams), the occurrence of such microhabitats can therefore be hypothesized in the area then occupied by the Hispaniolan paleo-island. The records of extant species of the subgenus Paramongoma from several islands of the Lesser and Greater Antilles, as well as presence of the suitable ecological conditions, offers the possibility of finding living species of Trentepohlia Bigot, 1854 at Hispaniola, which is currently the only large island in the Caribbean without records of the genus.

标题多明尼加中新世龙蝇属一新种(双翅目，龙蝇科)

摘要本文报道了一新种Rondani limonidae, 1856。Trentepohlia (Paramongoma)中新世Mederos & Wang n. sp.是在多米尼加共和国东部地区的Yanigua组的树脂岩(少量或低聚合的琥珀)中被描述的，与迄今为止伊斯帕尼奥拉岛化石记录中的其他物种有很好的区别，Trentepohlia (Paramongoma) agri Podenas & Poinar, 1999。还提供了迄今为止描述的Paramongoma Brunetti亚属的五个化石种的钥匙。由于Paramongoma未成熟阶段的生物学与水生微栖息地(如phytotelmata和小山溪)有关，因此可以假设这种微栖息地的发生在当时被伊斯帕尼奥拉古岛屿占据的地区。小安的列斯群岛和大安的列斯群岛的几个岛屿上现存的Paramongoma亚属物种的记录，以及合适的生态条件的存在，提供了在伊斯帕尼奥拉岛发现Trentepohlia Bigot存活物种的可能性，1854年，伊斯帕尼奥拉岛是目前加勒比地区唯一没有该属记录的大岛。
