“…Within the Epyrinae, following the key of Colombo et al [14], our specimen keys in Chlorepyris Kieffer, 1913 because of the following couplets: (1) mesoscuto-mesoscutellar suture with foveae connected by sulcus; (2) eye glabrous; (3) dorsal pronotal area distinctly longer than wide; (4) sulcus of the mesoscuto-mesoscutellar suture incurved, clypeus without lateral lobe; (5) [38] and our specimen displays some long erect setae, superficially similar to that of the aforementioned genus. Actually, Laelius have sparser and longer setae, sometimes being as long as HE, a shorter pronotum, and the 2r-rs&Rs vein projected straightly toward the wing tip (when present) (couplet 5).…”

The Epyrinae are the second largest subfamily of Bethylidae and the most diverse in the fossil record. However, although six of the nine bethylid subfamilies are known during the Cretaceous (either as compression or amber fossils), the Epyrinae were hitherto unknown before the lower Eocene. In this contribution, we report the discovery of the oldest member of this group, based on a female specimen from the early Cenomanian amber of Kachin, Myanmar. We describe and illustrate a new genus and species, Hukawngepyris setosus gen. et sp. nov. The new genus is compared with the other epyrine genera and characterized by a unique combination of characters not known in the subfamily. Hukawngepyris setosus gen. et sp. nov. is especially unique in the configuration of the forewing venation, with a complete 2r-rs&Rs vein, curved towards the anterior wing margin, and the presence of three proximal and three distal hamuli. The key to the genera of Epyrinae is accommodated to include the newly erected genus.

The genus Laelius from China is revised for the first time and six species are recognized, including one new species as well as three new records. The new species, Laelius longus sp. nov., which is supported by both morphological and molecular analyses, is described and illustrated. Three new records, L. naniwaensis, L. nigrofemoratus, and L. yamatonis, are illustrated. A key to the Chinese species of Laelius is provided.
