“…The outgrowth of the fossil larva is however much larger proportionally to the maxilla than that of larvae of Dilophus. Also it is situated on the distal part of the first element, not on the second element of the palp as it is the case for Dilophus (Krivosheina & Mamaev, 1967).…”

“…Other larval forms of Bibionomorpha that possess large sensillae on the maxillary palps are larvae of fungus-gnats Mycomyinae (Mycetophilidae; (Krivosheina & Mamaev, 1967): fig 31:1, 31:6). In contrast to larvae of Mycomyinae, however, the outgrowths of the fossil larva are not articulated.…”

“…The tracheal system with ten pairs of spiracles on the pro- and metathorax as well as on abdominal units 1–8 (Fig. 6B), is a synapomorphy of the bibionomorphan ingroups Pachyneuridae + Hesperinidae (Krivosheina, 2012). The fossil is however distinct from larvae of Hesperinidae by bearing a large number of long setae (up to 70 µm long) on the abdominal units.…”

“…The fossil is however distinct from larvae of Hesperinidae by bearing a large number of long setae (up to 70 µm long) on the abdominal units. Larvae of Hesperinidae possess only very short setae (Krivosheina, 2012). Pachyneura (only ingroup of Pachyneuridae sensu Paramonov & Salmela 2015) includes two species, Pachyneura fasciata Zetterstedt, 1838 and P. oculata Krivosheina & Mamaev, 1972.…”

Larvae of flies and gnats (Diptera) form a crucial component of many terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems in the extant biosphere. Larvae of Diptera play a central role in water purification, matter and energy transfer in riparian ecosystems in rivers, carbon cycling in lakes and forests as well as being major decomposers of dead organic matter. Despite all these important roles, dipteran larvae are most often ignored in palaeoecological studies, due to the difficulty of the taxonomic identification of fossil larvae, but also due to the perceived importance of adult dipterans in palaeoentomological and taxonomic studies. Despite that, much information on palaeoecosystems can be gained from studying fossil dipteran larvae, in particular for well preserved specimens from fossil resins (ambers and copals). Since ambers are selectively preserving fauna of trunks and leaf litter, it allows us to learn a lot about xylophages and saprophages of amber forests, such as Eocene Baltic amber forest. Here we present immature stages (larvae and pupae) of the dipteran ingroup Bibionomorpha, from Baltic and Bitterfeld amber forests. We have recorded at least four different larval morphotypes, one with four distinct instars, and at least three pupal morphotypes. One larva is recognised as a new species and can be interpreted either as a representative of a highly derived ingroup of Bibionidae or as a sister species to Bibionidae. Also represented by single larval specimens are the groups Pachyneura (Pachyneuridae) and Sylvicola (Anisopodidae). The majority of the recorded specimens are representatives of the group Mycetobia (Anisopodidae). Due to the abundance of immature stages of Mycetobia, we have been able to reconstruct the number of larval stages (4) and relative growth rate of these fossil dipterans. We discuss implications of these finds.

“…Larvae of seven species of subgenus E. ( Elephantomyia ) are known: E. ( E. ) aurantiaca Alexander, 1917, E. ( E. ) edwardsi , E. ( E. ) hokkaidensis , E. ( E. ) krivosheinae , E. ( E. ) montana Alexander, 1934, E. ( E. ) subterminalis , and E. ( E. ) westwoodi westwoodi Osten Sacken, 1869, were described to date ( Alexander 1920 ; Bangerter 1934 ; Wood 1952 ; Krivosheina 2010 ; Krivosheina and Krivosheina 2011 ). Immature stages of other three subgenera are still unknown.…”

A new species of crane fly (Diptera, Limoniidae), Elephantomyia (Elephantomyia) hallasana Podenas & Podeniene, sp. nov., from Jeju Island, South Korea is described. Adult and larval characters are illustrated. Elephantomyia (E.) hallasanasp. nov. is the only species of the genus Elephantomyia Osten Sacken, 1860 recorded from Jeju Island, South Korea. Habitat, elevation range, and seasonality data are presented. Distributional notes on E. subterminalis Alexander, 1954 in the Far East of Russia (Khabarovskiy and Primorskiy regions) are discussed. An identification key for all Eastern Palaearctic species of subgenus E. (Elephantomyia) is presented.
