A new genus and two new species of lace bugs (Tingidae, Tinginae, Phatnomatini) from Late Cretaceous Burmese amber

A new genus and two new species of lace bugs (Tingidae) are described from Late Cretaceous Burmese amber. These have the following diagnostic character states: antennomere III longest; head elongate in front of eyes and bearing seven or eight long and curved spines; pronotum with three carinae, each with an elongate spine at the posterior edge; paranota broad and petal-shaped with three curved arcs, and an elongate spine at the apex of the arc; scutellum small and mostly covered by the pronotum, with an elongate spine at the end. We place the new taxa within the Tinginae tribe Phatnomatini and discuss the systematic implications. <i>Chenmeng Mu [[email protected]], Yannan Ma [[email protected]], Dong Ren [[email protected]], and Yunzhi Yao* [[email protected]&gt;] College of Life Sciences and Academy for Multidisciplinary Studies, Capital Normal University, Beijing 100048, China</i>
