Collection: Pensoft Publishers

Keywords: Empidoidea · Topics: Diptera species taxonomy and behavior, Hymenoptera taxonomy and phylogeny, Fossil Insects in Amber

A new minute-size empidoid fly genus, Gondwanamyia gen. n. and two new species (G. chilensis Cumming & Saigusa, sp. n., G. zealandica Sinclair & Brooks, sp. n.) are described, illustrated, and their distributions mapped. The family and subfamily assignments remain uncertain, but features of the female terminalia potentially suggest Trichopezinae (Brachystomatidae).
