A New Mantispid‐Like Species of Rhachiberothinae (Neuroptera: Berothidae) from Baltic Amber, with a Critical Review of the Fossil Record of the Subfamily

Vladiir N. MAKARKIN, Janusz Kupryjanowicz

Open publisher page 36 citations

Abstract

Abstract: Whalfera wiszniewskii sp. nov. is described from the Late Eocene Baltic amber. The genus Whalfera is considered as the only fossil genus confidently assigned to the Rhachiberothinae. Others previously placed in this subfamily belong to Paraberothinae (except perhaps for Oisea). The Late Eocene/present Rhachiberothinae and the Cretaceous Paraberothinae are considered to be the subfamilies of Berothidae.
