New Genus and Species of Webspinners (Insecta: Embioptera) from the Mid-Cretaceous of Myanmar with a Catalog of Fossil Members

One new genus (<i>Ocrognethoda</i> gen. nov.) and three new species of webspinners (<i>Ocrognethoda olivea</i> gen. et sp. nov., <i>Gnethoda lata</i> sp. nov. and <i>Parasorellembia hamata</i> sp. nov.) are described from the Upper Cretaceous of Myanmar amber. <i>Ocrognethoda olivea</i> gen. et sp. nov. and <i>Gnethoda lata</i> sp. nov. are attributed to the family Clothodidae due to their simplified and symmetrical male terminalia, in which the tenth tergum is undivided. <i>Parasorellembia hamata</i> sp. nov. is classified in the family Scelembiidae by a specialized abdominal apex: fused cerci, a broad right hemitergite of the tenth abdominal tergite, and ocelli presence. Moreover, based on the discovery of new genus and species, the male terminalia of Clothodidae and Sorellembiinae are briefly discussed.

Abstract

One new genus (<i>Ocrognethoda</i> gen. nov.) and three new species of webspinners (<i>Ocrognethoda olivea</i> gen. et sp. nov., <i>Gnethoda lata</i> sp. nov. and <i>Parasorellembia hamata</i> sp. nov.) are described from the Upper Cretaceous of Myanmar amber. <i>Ocrognethoda olivea</i> gen. et sp. nov. and <i>Gnethoda lata</i> sp. nov. are attributed to the family Clothodidae due to their simplified and symmetrical male terminalia, in which the tenth tergum is undivided. <i>Parasorellembia hamata</i> sp. nov. is classified in the family Scelembiidae by a specialized abdominal apex: fused cerci, a broad right hemitergite of the tenth abdominal tergite, and ocelli presence. Moreover, based on the discovery of new genus and species, the male terminalia of Clothodidae and Sorellembiinae are briefly discussed.
