A new species of Dactylolabis (Idiolabis) Alexander, 1931 from the Eocene Baltic amber and its relationships among Dactylolabinae (Diptera: Limoniidae)
Plain Language Abstract
A new fossil crane-flies species – Dactylolabis (Idiolabis) ryszardi sp. nov. from Eocene Baltic amber is described. It is the third species of this extinct subgenus to be described, and is known exclusively from the Eocene Baltic amber. Relationship of the new species among representatives of the Dactylolabinae is presented and shows that the new described species is closely related to Idiolabis christelae Krzemiński, 2000a.
Resumen en Español
Una nueva especie de Dactylolabis (Idiolabis) Alexander, 1931 del ámbar eoceno del Báltico y sus relaciones dentro de Dactylolabinae (Diptera: Limoniidae)
Se describe una nueva especie, Dactylolabis (Idiolabis) ryszardi n. sp., del ámbar eoceno del Báltico. Es la tercera especie de este subgénero extinto que se describe y se conoce exclusivamente del eoceno del Báltico. Las características distintivas de la nueva especie son la nerviación alar, especialmente la forma de la celda discal, característicamente mellada en la esquina superior distal por la posición de dM1+2 desplazado a un tercio de la celda discal, y la morfología del hipopigio. Se presenta un análisis de parsimonia de especies tipo de taxones existentes y de especies extintas del género Dactylolabis del ámbar del Báltico basado en 25 caracteres morfológicos. El análisis confirma el estatus de los subgéneros extintos del ámbar eoceno del Báltico actualmente reconocido dentro del género Dactylolabis, y muestra los taxones modernos y fósiles agrupados por separado.

Résumé en Français
Une nouvelle espèce de Dactylolabis (Idiolabis) Alexander, 1931 provenant de l'ambre Baltique de l'Eocène et ses relations entre Dactylolabinae (Diptera: Limoniidae)
Une nouvelle espèce - Dactylolabis (Idiolabis) ryszardi n. sp. provenant d'ambre Baltique de l'Eocène est décrite. C'est la troisième espèce de ce sous-genre éteint à être décrits et elle est connue exclusivement dans l'ambre Baltique de l'Eocène. Les caractéristiques distinctives de l'espèce nouvellement décrite sont le caractère de nervures de l'aile, en particulier la forme de la cellule discale, caractéristiquement en retrait dans le coin distale supérieure par la position de dM1+2 déplacé à 1/3 de d-cell et la morphologie de la hypopyge. Une analyse de parcimonie basé sur 25 caractères morphologiques des espèces types de taxons actuels et des espèces éteintes du genre Dactylolabis de l'ambre Baltique est fourni. L'analyse confirme le statut de sous-genres éteints actuellement reconnus dans le genre Dactylolabis de l'ambre Baltique de l'Eocène et montre les taxons actuels et fossiles regroupés séparément.

Deutsche Zusammenfassung
Eine neue Art von Dactylolabis (Idiolabis) Alexander, 1931 aus dem eozänen Baltischen Bernstein und die Verwandtschaftsbeziehungen unter den Dactylolabinae (Diptera: Limoniidae)
Eine neue Art – Dactylolabis (Idiolabis) ryszardi n. sp. aus dem eozänen Baltischen Bernstein wird beschrieben. Es ist die dritte Art dieser ausgestorbenen Subgattung, die beschrieben wird und sie ist nur aus dem eozänen Baltischen Bernstein bekannt. Die unverkennbaren Merkmale dieser neu beschrieben Art sind die Art der Flügelnervatur, besonders die Form der distalen Zelle, die typischerweise in der oberen distalen Ecke bei der Postion von dM1+2 eingebuchtet ist und die zu 1/3 der d-cell verlagert ist, und die Morphologie des Hypophygiums. Es wird eine Parsimonie-Analyse von Typen-Arten heutiger Taxa und ausgestorbener Arten der Gattung Dactylolabis aus dem Baltischen Bernstein vorgelegt, basierend auf 25 morphologischen Merkmalen. Die Analyse bestätigt den Status ausgestorbener Subgattungen aus dem eozänen Baltischen Bernstein, die derzeit innerhalb der Gattung Dactylolabis erkannt wurden und zeigt die modernen und fossilen Taxa voneinander getrennt zusammengestellt.
