Abstract
Abstract A new genus and species of a handsome heleomyzid fly, Gedanoleria eocenica gen. nov., sp. nov. (Diptera: Heleomyzidae), is described from Baltic amber. The newly described genus is compared with similar extant and extinct genera. The heleomyzid-like flies described by Meunier from African copal are treated as nomina dubia. A checklist and a key to the genera of Heleomyzidae reported from fossil resins are also provided.
期刊介绍:
The Polish Journal of Entomology was founded in 1922 as a periodical of the Polish Entomological Society under the title Polskie Pismo Entomologiczne (subtitle Bulletin Entomologique de Pologne). The journal publishes original research papers and reviews from any entomological discipline. The Polish Journal of Entomology is sponsored by the Polish Entomological Society and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. It deals with all aspects of entomology and has no geographical limits. Four issues of the journal are published annually. It is covered by the Zoological Record, Entomological Abstracts, Biological Abstracts. Each article has its own DOI
