摘要
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, Myanrnarpsilocephala grimaldii gen. et sp. nov. and lrwinimyia 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. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
