Abstract

A remarkable new genus and species of Nevrorthidae, Sisyroneurorthus aspoeckorumgen. et sp. nov., is described from mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber of northern Myanmar. This new species is the second Mesozoic representative of Nevrorthidae. The distal fusion of ScP and RA in the forewing of this new genus is shared by most Sisyridae. Given the probable sister-group relationship between Nevrorthidae and Sisyridae, our study sheds light on the evolution and morphological diversity of Nevrorthidae in the Mesozoic era.
