Davimacrocera, a New Extant Genus of Keroplatidae, with Notes on the Fossil Genus Burmacrocera (Diptera)

A new extant genus of Keroplatidae (Diptera: Bibionomorpha), <i>Davimacrocera</i> gen. nov., is described in this paper, which includes two new species, <i>Davimacrocera davidi</i> sp. nov. (Brunei, type species of the genus) and <i>D. taiwanensis</i> sp. nov. (Taiwan, China). Its relationships to other extant genera and possible phylogenetic position are briefly discussed, including a comparison with the fossil genus <i>Burmacrocera</i> Cockerell, 1917 from the mid-Cretaceous amber of Myanmar. The identity of <i>Burmacrocera</i> remains unclear, pending further studies of Keroplatidae in Burmese amber.

Abstract

A new extant genus of Keroplatidae (Diptera: Bibionomorpha), <i>Davimacrocera</i> gen. nov., is described in this paper, which includes two new species, <i>Davimacrocera davidi</i> sp. nov. (Brunei, type species of the genus) and <i>D. taiwanensis</i> sp. nov. (Taiwan, China). Its relationships to other extant genera and possible phylogenetic position are briefly discussed, including a comparison with the fossil genus <i>Burmacrocera</i> Cockerell, 1917 from the mid-Cretaceous amber of Myanmar. The identity of <i>Burmacrocera</i> remains unclear, pending further studies of Keroplatidae in Burmese amber.
