Abstract
Synopsis Fossils of thorny lacewings, family Rhachiberothidae, are described from Lower Cretaceous (Albian) amber from Myanmar (Burma). A new genus and species, Eorhachiberotha burmitica gen. et sp. nov., is characterised from a well preserved individual while a second species is reported from a fragmentary specimen. The geological history of the family is briefly reviewed. Whalfera nom. nov. is proposed for Fera Whalley (nec Fera Hong), an enigmatic, putative rhachiberothid in British amber (Baltic amber).
