Abstract

A new fossil genus and species of the family Melandryidae, Homalenchodes jarzembowskii Li, Hsiao, Yoshitomi & Cai gen. et sp. nov., is described and illustrated from the mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. Homalenchodes is likely closely related to the serropalpin genus Enchodes LeConte, based on their simple maxillary palps, complete prosternal process, exposed protrochantins, ventrally lobed penultimate metatarsomeres, and absence of transverse rows of bristles or spines along the meso- and metatibiae.
