Here we describe a new species Plesioblattogryllus aristovi sp. nov. from the Middle-Late Jurassic Daohugou Bed and we restore the family Plesioblattogryllidae stat. rest. to its family status (previously junior synonymy of the family Blattogryllidae). This systematic change is supported by the crucial presence vs. absence of tarsal arolia. We also synonymize the monotypic genus Duoduo Cui, 2012 syn. nov. under Plesioblattogryllus Huang et al., 2008 and transfer it to the Plesioblattogryllidae, we transfer its type species Duoduo qianae to the genus Plesioblattogryllus. Finally, we discuss the interspecific variations in the forewing venation of the genus Plesioblattogryllus.

Three new species of the genus Prosyntexis Sharkey, 1990 in the extinct sawfly family Sepulcidae, Prosyntexis aristovi sp. nov., P. lata sp. nov. and P. antennata sp. nov., are described from five well-preserved specimens from the mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber. These new species, the first records of the family Sepulcidae in Kachin amber, are placed in Prosyntexis (Trematothoracinae) based on the mesonotum membranous centrally with sides ridge transversely; forewing with the basally arched M+Cu; basal third or half of costal space narrowed; and 2r-m absent. The conspecific male and female of Prosyntexis lata with well-preserved genitalia are reported for the first time in the family Sepulcidae. A key to fossil species of Prosyntexis is provided. These new findings improve our understanding of Prosyntexis by adding more morphological features, such as antenna with no fewer than 16 segments, basal and distal hamuli present, tibia apical spurs 1-2-2, etc. The new taxa suggest that the Sepulcidae should range in age from at least from the Middle Jurassic to the mid-Cretaceous.
本文报道了已灭绝锯蝇科锯蝇属(Prosyntexis Sharkey, 1990)的3个新种:Prosyntexis aristovi sp. nov.， P. lata sp. nov.和P. antennata sp. nov.。这些新种是克钦琥珀琥珀科的第一批记录，它们以膜状中膜为中心，侧面横脊为基础被置于胸甲科;以M+Cu为基底拱;基生的三分之一或一半的肋间隙变窄;2r-m不存在。本文首次报道了在墓蛛科中保存完好的雌雄同体的情况。提供了原藻化石种的一个关键。这些新发现增加了更多的形态学特征，如不少于16节的天线，存在基部和远端钩，胫骨尖刺1-2-2等，提高了我们对前肌纤维的认识。新的分类群表明，Sepulcidae的年龄应该至少从中侏罗世到中白垩纪。

A new species of Grylloblattida, Ideliopsina aristovi sp. nov., is described from the Upper Triassic Ominé locality (Momonoki Formation, Mine Group, Japan). It belongs to a typical Triassic genus, Ideliopsina Storozhenko, 1996, which species have been previously reported from the Kyrgyz Republic and the Kazakhstan in Central Asia. The new species shows that the corresponding family, the Ideliidae ranging from the Cisuralian to the Late Triassic, remained widely distributed during the latter period, before its extinction.

Nine new scorpion specimens belonging to the extinct family Palaeoburmesebuthidae are documented from mid-Cretaceous Burmese (Kachin) amber from northern Myanmar. More accurate morphological details, including lateral ocelli, dentition of chela finger, leg tarsal armature, trichobothrial pattern, and subaculear tuberance, are provided. Based on new morphological evidence, the diagnostic characters for Betaburmesebuthus are revised, and Spinoburmesebuthus is suggested as a junior synonym of Betaburmesebuthus syn. nov. Additionally, two new species of Betaburmesebuthus, B. villosus sp. nov. and B. fuscus sp. nov., are described from Burmese amber.

The emergence of new applications and technological advances has opened new and wider pathways for people to ensure effective science communication. This has become more significant after more than two years of difficulties and restrictions due to the COVID-19 epidemiological crisis, in which online platforms gained great relevance and proved key to keep up the drive for science communication (Barral, 2020). Aware of this, the first edition of the Palaeontological Virtual Congress (PVC) was organised in December 2018 by a team of young researchers from different nationalities. The purpose of that new congress format was simply to disseminate worldwide the most recent scientific advances in palaeontology in a fast, easy, inexpensive and inclusive way.

This is a supplement to the Burmese (Myanmar) amber checklist and bibliography covering taxa described or recorded during 2022, plus a couple of earlier records that were missed previously. Up to the end of 2022, 2,524 species have been recorded from Kachin amber, of which 350 were named in 2022; ten species have been recorded from older Hkamti amber, of which two were named in 2022 (one species known from both Hkamti and Kachin amber). Another 17 species were named in 2022 though it is uncertain whether they are in Kachin or Hkamti amber. In total 368 species were named from Cretaceous amber from Myanmar in 2022.

The family Psychodidae Newman, 1834 comprises about 3,000 living species of small hairy nematoceran flies (Azar & Maksoud, 2022). To date, seven psychodid subfamilies are recognized within this family, namely Bruchomyiinae Alexander, 1921; extinct Datziinae Stebner, Solórzano Kraemer, Ibáñez-Bernal & Wagner, 2015; Horaiellinae Enderlein, 1937; Phlebotominae Rondani, 1840; Psychodinae Newman, 1834; Sycoracinae Rondani, 1856; and Trichomyiinae Tonnoir, 1922 (Azar & Maksoud, 2022). Some authors consider the psychodid group to consist of two families, i.e., Psychodidae and Phlebotomidae (Williams, 1993; Azar et al., 1999). This taxonomic treatment is based only on the hematophagous and medically important aspects of the phlebotomines. Nevertheless it is unfounded, because the phylogenetic relationships between the psychodid subfamilies remain unresolved, even if there is a possible sister-group relationship between the Phlebotominae and Psychodinae (Curler & Moulton, 2012). We consider that recognising phlebotomines as a separate family would necessitate also giving separate familial rank to all the currently recognised subfamilies, which is not adopted here.

Eornithoica grimaldii gen. et sp. nov., the currently earliest Pupipara, is described from the lower Eocene of the Green River Formation. The previously oldest representative of this clade was from the Oligocene. The new fossil has some plesiomorphic character states, suggesting a ‘basal’ position in the clade. Its age, around 52 Ma, suggests that these epizooic ectoparasitic flies originated during the Paleocene or even the latest Cretaceous, prior to the first bats, if the latter. As is the case for several early diverging hippoboscids that feed on birds, E. grimaldii possibly victimized birds or terrestrial mammals. This study is a further example of the quantity of new information that can be obtained by the examination of fossil insects under UV light.
