Abstract:A new caddisflies species Holocentropus totuttotam sp. nov. and Nyctiophylax totaktoetak sp. nov. (Polycentropodidae) are described and illustrated from Rovno amber (Priabonian). Holocentropus atratus (Pictet, 1856) and Holocentropus vetustus (Germar, 1813) are recorded for Rovno amber for the first time. Now the family Polycentropodidae is represented by 23 named species among 42 named species of caddisflies known from Rovno amber. A list of fossil Trichoptera known from the Rovno amber is given.
One family, one tribe, 11 genera, and 18 species were described, and 8 species redescribed from Siberian amber in 2020–2023 and the first quarter of 2024. 80% of known Cretaceous Aphididae and Drepanosiphidae are documented from Taimyr amber. Liberiblattinidae constitute a huge 83% of Baikura cockroaches. Geographical distribution of Cretaceous and Eocene Megalyridae is discussed in details.
