Abstract

Three new species of Strepsiptera are described and six additional species are discussed. The oldest fossil records are of four species from several Eocene sites in Europe (Geiseltal, Messel, Baltic amber), one of Mengeidae and three of Myrmecolacidae. At least six species are from Dominican amber of various ages since the Oligocene, comprising four species of Myrmecolacidae, one of Elenchidae, and one of Bohartillidae, which are very close to or even identical with living species.
