“…Among Hymenoptera, only a limited number of families display the wing venation reduced to an extent comparable to that of Myanmarinidae. Among these families, the most similar is maybe the extinct Spathiopterygidae, known also from Burmese amber as well as from Cretaceous Lebanese, Spanish, and Raritan ambers (Engel et al, 2013(Engel et al, , 2015Krogmann et al, 2016). Myanmarinid wasps are particularly similar to Mymaropsis baabdaensis Krogmann et al, 2016 from Lebanese amber, which also displays RS&M, M+Cu and 1Cu forming a Y-like pattern at the wing base.…”

Argemiones stupeflip gen. et sp. nov., a new spathiopterygid wasp (Hymenoptera: Diaprioidea) from the mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber

Although infrequent in the fossil record, the extinct wasp family Spathiopterygidae have been suggested to be diverse and globally distributed during the Cretaceous, being documented in seven major amber deposits. In the present study, I describe and figure Argemiones stupeflip gen. et sp. nov. from the rich early Cenomanian Kachin amber (Myanmar). The new monotypic genus is characterized by the compound eyes with numerous ommatidia, the first four flagellomeres distinctly thinner and longer than followings, a distinctive fore wing venation, a fringe of long setae along the apical margin of fore wing, a much reduced but present hind wing, and a conspicuous petiolate first metasomal segment. The presence of Spathiopterygidae in the endemic fauna of the Burma Terrane suggests their antiquity, with a possible origin in the Upper Jurassic to the earliest Cretaceous, and dispersion between the Gondwana and the Southern and Western Laurasia during the Lower Cretaceous. I propose an updated version of the key to genera and species of the family.

“…Sharkey et al (2012: 99) proposed two different synapomorphies to support the clade Diaprioidea except Ismarus: subantennal shelf present, and ventral transverse carina of metapleuron absent or weakly developed, but these authors added that they are 'convergent in some members of most Proctotrupomorpha superfamilies'. Unlike the cosmopolitan and speciose Diapriidae, the Monomachidae and the †Spathiopterygidae are represented by a small number of species (less than species for the later), and can be differentiated from the others families composing the Diaprioidea by a typical wing venation (Engel et al, 2013(Engel et al, , 2015Krogmann et al, 2016). The Ismarinae can be easily differentiated from the other Diapriidae by the lack of facial projection from which the antennae arise, and characterized by various degrees of fusion of the metasomal terga.…”
