Abstract
The rare family Kambaitipsychidae (Trichoptera, Annulipalpia) is now reported from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber with Kambaitipsyche malaisei sp. nov., distinguished by two-segmented inferior appendages in combination with five-segmented maxillary palps, the terminal segments both annulated and flexible, tibial spurs 3/4/4 and apical forks I and II sessile at crossvein s and the median fork at crossvein m-cu in fore- and hind wings. The two extant species of this family live in northeastern Burma and in Thailand. The Cretaceous fossils bridge a long geological time gap of about 100 million years and the related extant species are still endemic in Myanmar and Thailand nowadays.
