A dance fly (Empididae: Hilarempis Bezzi) from the Foulden Maar Fossil-Lagerstätte (Early Miocene, New Zealand)
New Zealand has a diverse and highly endemic fauna of dance flies (Empididae) with much of its diversity found in the tribe Hilarini. Here we report the first fossil of a dance fly from New Zealand from lacustrine diatomites of the earliest Miocene Foulden Maar Fossil-Lagerstätte in Otago. Hilarempis otagoensis sp. nov. is described from a single male specimen and assigned to the tribe Hilarini based on characters of the wing venation. This new species represents the first fossil record of the predominantly southern temperate genus Hilarempis Bezzi and the second fossil record of the subfamily Empidinae from the Southern Hemisphere. The articulated preservation suggests that Hilarempis otagoensis sp. nov. lived among riparian vegetation on the shore of the Foulden Maar palaeolake and probably drowned while skimming the water surface in search for prey or nuptial gifts.
期刊介绍：
Palaeobiodiversity and Palaeoenvironments is a peer-reviewed international journal for the publication of high-quality multidisciplinary studies in the fields of palaeobiodiversity, palaeoenvironments and palaeobiogeography. Key criteria for the acceptance of manuscripts are a global scope or implications of problems on a global scale significant not only for a single discipline, a focus on the diversity of fossil organisms and the causes and processes of change in Earth’s history. The topics covered include: Systematic studies of all fossil animal / plant groups with a special focus on palaeoenvironmental investigations, palaeoecosystems and climate changes in Earth’s history, environment-organism interaction, comparison of modern and ancient sedimentary environments, palaeoecology and palaeobiogeography.
