Abstract
The blackfly Simuliites yantardakh sp. nov. from the Taimyr amber is described. It is distinguished from the only known Late Cretaceous blackfly from the New Jersey amber Archicnephia ornithoraptor Currie et Grimaldi by the twice larger size, the short pubescent antenna, only slightly expanded antennomeres 1 and 2; the small palpomere 3, which is 1.5 times as wide as palpomere 4; and the shorter mouth appendages.
