Abstract

The fifth burmaeshnid dragonfly, Neoaeschna kachinensis gen. et sp. nov., is described based on the basal parts of a pair of fore- and hindwings from Kachin amber, indicating that Burmaeshnidae Huang, Cai, Nel & Bechly, 2017 is the most diverse family of true dragonflies in Kachin amber. The new dragonfly differs from the other genera in having one row of cells present in the postdiscoidal area basal of the midfork, the trigonal planate being obsolete, and one or two crossveins present basal of the CuP-crossing in the submedian space.
