Two new long-legged flies in the Santonian amber of France (Diptera: Dolichopodidae)
Résumé
Avenaphora gallica sp. nov., second representative of this dolichopodid genus, and Cretomicrophorus piolencensis sp. nov., third representative of this genus, are described from a new Early Santonian amber outcrop in Southern France. The relationships of Avenaphora in the Empidoidea are discussed. As for the modern Parathalassiinae, Avenaphora gallica and Cretomicrophorus piolencensis were found in a marine littoral swamp palaeoenvironment.
