(Psilarginae subfam.n.) from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber is assigned to the family Jubisentidae in basal (pre-cixioid) Fulgoroidea. The two formerly known genera of this family are placed in Jubisentinae stat.n. The only known specimen of the new species is a minute female with extremely shortened wings. It is the earliest recorded instance of extreme brachyptery in Auchenorrhyncha. All known Jubisentidae were flightless, camouflaged, and likely associated with herbs in the Burmese Cretaceous tropics. РЕЗЮМЕ. Psilargus anufrievi gen. et sp.n. (Psilarginae subfam.n.) из среднемелового бирманского янтаря отнесён к семейству Jubisentidae среди примитивных (до-циксиоидных) Fulgoroidea. Два ранее известных рода этого семейства помещены в Jubisentinae stat.n. Единственный известный экземпляр нового вида — мелкая самка с сильно укороченными крыльями. Это древнейший отмеченный случай резкой короткокрылости у Auchenorrhyncha. Все известные Jubisentidae были нелетающими, обладали маскировкой и, вероятно, обитали на травах в бирманских меловых тропиках. The mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber (ca. 100 Ma) is a real Aladdin’s cave for paleoentomologists. This fossil resin was produced by araucarian trees in a rainforest [Poinar et al., 2007; Poinar, Buckley, 2008] on an island in the tropical Tethys Ocean between Gondwana and Laurasia [Westerweel et al., 2019], far from other Cretaceous Lagerstätten. Among many wonderful and unexpected insect taxa, three endemic planthopper families have recently been discovered in Burmese amber — Dorytocidae, Yetkhatidae and Jubisentidae [Emeljanov, Shcherbakov, 2018; Song et al., 2019; Zhang et al., 2019]. In the Burmese amber fauna these groups coexist with widespread Cretaceous families, such as Perforissidae [Shcherbakov, 2007a; Zhang et al., 2017] and Mimarachnidae [Shcherbakov, 2007b, 2017; Luo et al., 2020; etc.], and several extant families, such as Cixiidae and Achilidae [Shcherbakov, 2000; Szwedo, 2004] making up a rich and diverse planthopper assemblage [Perkovsky et al., 2019]. The latest find, recently offered on eBay, is an unusual brachypterous female planthopper described below as a new genus and subfamily of Jubisentidae. The two Cretaceous planthopper families known from adults, Perforissidae and Mimarachnidae [Shcherbakov, 2007a, b] are referred to the basal, precixioid Fulgoroidea on account of having setigerous hind tibial pectens and the proximal CuA fork in the tegmen. The two other Cretaceous families based on nymphs with asetigerous hind tibial pectens, Neazoniidae [Szwedo, 2007] and Dorytocidae [Emeljanov, Shcherbakov, 2018] show other features in common with perforissids and mimarachnids. Subbrachypterous flightless Jubisentidae were described as related to Perforissidae [Zhang et al., 2019]. The new subfamily combines characters of typical jubisentids with a few perforissid characters and so bridges the gap between the two families. 7 Earliest brachypterous Auchenorrhy","PeriodicalId":37962,"journal":{"name":"Russian Entomological Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88020688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As for the fauna of this genus in Russia, in the last list there were mentioned 16 of them [Gorbunov, 2008]. In 1990 this genus was divided into two subgenera [Laštůvka, 1990a]: Chamaesphecia s.str. and Scopulosphecia Laštůvka, 1990 [“1988”] (type species: Sesia alysoniformis Herrich-Schäffer, 1846). This nomenclatural act showed a clear paraphyly of the genus, in which subgenus Chamaesphecia and genus Weismanniola Naumann, 1971 (type species: Sesia agdistiformis Staudinger, 1866) are a monophyletic group [Laštůvka, 1992]. This problem can be solved in one way — to raise subgenus Scopulosphecia to a generic level. Perhaps this will be done in the near future. In his remarkable work, Herrich-Schäffer [1846] described Sesia oxybeliformis Herrich-Schäffer, 1846 as a variation of Sesia masariformis Ochsenheimer, 1808 over a single male “aus Russland” [HerrichSchäffer, 1846: 70]. With a high degree of probability, this specimen was collected in the vicinity of Sarepta (Russia: Volgograd) by one of the German colonists or even Alexander K. Becker (1818–1901) himself. Subsequently, until the end of the twentieth century, this taxon was cited as an aberration [Staudinger, 1871, 1901; Spuler, 1910; Bartel, 1912; Dalla Torre, Strand, 1925] or a variety [Heppner, Duckworth, 1981] of Sesia annellata Zeller, 1847. However, back in 1967, Sterzl raised the rank of this nominal taxon to a full species level: “Chamaesphecia oxybeliformis H.S.” [Sterzl, 1967: 191]. Unfortunately, the indication of this species for Austria turned out to be erroneous because the ABSTRACT. Two new species, Chamaesphecia efetovi sp.n. and Ch. kalashiani sp.n. from European part of Russia and from Armenia and Azerbaijan, respectively, are described and illustrated. Chamaesphecia oxybeliformis (Herrich-Schäffer, 1846), an insufficiently known species, is revised and a neotype is designated. The data on their biotopes and host-plants are presented as well.","PeriodicalId":37962,"journal":{"name":"Russian Entomological Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86870459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
