New and little known crane-fly species of the genera Helius, Elephantomyia and Toxorhina (Diptera, Limoniidae) from Dominican and Mexican amber
Plain Language Abstract
Three new fossil crane-flies species—Helius (Helius) neali n. sp., Helius (Helius) oosterbroeki n. sp. and Toxorhina (Ceratocheilus) mexicana n. sp. from the Miocene fossil resins are described. The new representatives of Helius are characterized by, comparatively for these crane flies, a short rostrum, shorter or a little longer than the head. Additional information of known Miocene representatives of Elephantomyia are provided.
