| dc.description.abstract | Apsilocephalidae is an enigmatic dipteran family erected by Nagatomi et al. (1991), including three extant genera and three additional extinct genera from the Eocene Baltic amber, Eocene Florissant, and mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. We describe herein two new taxa, Myanmarpsilocephala grimaldii gen. et sp. nov. and Irwinimyia spinosa gen. et sp. nov., from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. The female genitalia of Myanmarpsilocephala gen. nov. and male genitalia of Irwinimyia gen. nov. are described and illustrated. The distribution of all Apsilocephalidae species and a key to all genera of Apsilocephalidae is provided. The described diversity of Apsilocephalidae in Burmese amber strongly suggests that apsilocephalid flies diversified at least by the mid-Cretaceous. | en_AU |
