Abstract

Abstract: A new genus and three new species of Anisopodidae are described from the Cretaceous Burmese amber: Cretolbia hukawnga gen. et sp. nov., Cretolbia burmitica gen. et sp. nov., Cretolbia zhuodei gen. et sp. nov. Analyses of the morphological structures and taxonomical differences among representatives within the Anisopodidae have been carried out. A morphological comparison with their closest recent and fossil relatives is provided with the use of light and scanning electron microscopes.
