“…While the subgenera Ceratolimnobia and Trichoneura is characterized by a rather short gonocoxite, at most 2.5× as long as wide, and with at least one gonostylus longer than 0.5× the length of the gonocoxite. Moreover, in Ceratolimnobia a characteristic process occurs on the outer gonostylus and pronotal appendages are present on antepronotum [ 20 ], the pronotal appendages do not occur in Cretalinea subgen. nov. Whitish longitudinal lines on the thorax, which occur in Ceratolimnobia and are well visible in lateral view, do not occur in the Cretalinea subgen.…”

A new subgenus Cretalinea subgen. nov. of Trichoneura (Diptera, Limoniidae) is established with one new species: Trichoneura (Cretalinea) xavieri subgen. et sp. nov. This is the first report of the genus Trichoneura in Spanish amber and the first record of the genus from the Lower Cretaceous period. The oldest described species of Trichoneura is compared with other species of the genus with particular reference to those known species from the Upper Cretaceous. A list and key of fossil species of Trichoneura are given.

“…This subgenus includes only one species in the Afrotropical Region [Oosterbroek, 2020]. Gavryushin [2016] found a peculiar morphological character of Trichoneura (Ceratolimnobia), pronotal apendages, and suggested it represented a useful character for distinguishing from the other subgenera of Trichoneura.…”

The tribe Lechriini is recorded from Japan for the first time. Three new species of the tribe, Lechria yamauchii Kato sp.n., Trichoneura (Ceratolimnobia) ishigakiensis Kato sp.n., and T. (Xipholimnobia) japonica Kato sp.n. are described. This is the first record of Lechria from the Palaearctic region. Images of their external appearance and wings, and drawings of their male terminalia are shown. Morphological characters of Lechriini are noted, and a key to the Japanese species is provided. Резюме. В статье приводится первое указание трибыLechriini для Японии. Описываются три новых вида: Lechria yamauchii sp.n., Trichoneura (Ceratolimnobia) ishigakiensis sp.n., и T. (Xipholimnobia) japonica sp.n. Это первая находка рода Lechria в Палеарктике. Приведены изображения общего вида, а также рисунки терминалий самцов. Составлен определитель японских видов.

New data on the genus Elephantomyia (Diptera: Limoniidae) from Baltic amber are presented. A new subgenus Hoffeinsonia subgen. nov. is established with one new species: Elephantomyia (Hoffeinsonia) prima sp. nov. The new subgenus is characterized by a wing at most 2.5 × as long as it is wide without a darker pattern along the veins Sc and R1, elongate Sc, straight vein R1, sharp half of vein R2+3+4 sharply arched to the upper edge of the wing, short, wide, trapezoidal d-cell and oval pterostigma. The fossil subgenus Hoffeinsonia subgen. nov. shares features with the extant subgenera Elephantomyodes and Elephantomyia. One other extinct species of Elephantomyia was discovered and described herein as E. (s. str.) christelae sp. nov. Such features as a very elongate vein R2+3+4, 2.5 × as long as the Rs easily allowing this new species to be distinguished from the other fossil representatives of the genus Elephantomyia. The taxonomic decision on Elephantomyia grata as a species placed in nominative subgenus is provided. A list and key of fossil species of Elephantomyia are given. The morphological pattern of the genus is discussed in relation to the adaptation to a specific food spectrum, coevolution with Angiospermae of the representative genus Helius known since Cretaceous and closely related to this genus representatives of the much younger genus Elephantomyia.
