摘要
Paleopsychoda jarzembowskii sp. nov. is characterized, illustrated, and described from the lower Barremian amber of Mdeyrij-Hammana (Lebanon). It represents the first psychodid fly in Lower Cretaceous amber showing sexual dimorphism in wing characters. The discovery of this Cretaceous psychodid fly demonstrates that this genus had a large diversification and broad distribution, and improves our knowledge of the evolution of moth flies.
