Treatment

Probittacomorpha brisaci n. sp.

( Figs 1–3 View FIGURE 1 View FIGURE 2 View FIGURE 3 )

Diagnosis. Wing with well developed anal lobe; this character is diagnostic to the genus being present also in the second species, P. christenseni . Cross-vein r-m leaving at 1/9 length of R4+5 and m-cu positioned somewhat posterior to the base of fork of M1+2 and M4 distinguish a new species from its congener.

Etymology. The species name is a patronym for Mr. Patrick Brisac, who found and donated the type specimen.

Material examined. Holotype NMNHN.F.A46700, male, from the Late Miocene of Montagne d’Andance, Saint Bauzile, Ardèche, France. Specimen is housed in the Laboratoire de Paléontologie, MNHN, Paris, France.

Description. ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 ). Body length 17 mm; wing length 13 mm, wing width uniform through length, anal lobe distinct.

Head. Antennae not visible, maxillary palpi with only one segment visible.

Thorax. Wings ( Figs 2 View FIGURE 2 A–C) long, rather narrow; Sc long, ending opposite half of vein R4+5; sc-r absent; R1 long, strongly curved apically; section of R1 distad of cross-vein r-r (R2) twice the length of r-r; Rs very short, approximately 1/5 length of R2+3 and half of R3 length; R2+3 over two times as long as R3, running parallel and unusually close to R1; cross-vein r-m at 1/9 length of vein R4+5; R4 and R5 of same length; R4+5 approximately 1.5 times as long as R4; Rs, R2+3, basal part of R4+5 and cross-vein r-m much thicker than other veins; vein M1+2 and M4; m-cu connected to M4 a little distally of base of fork of M1+2 and M4; Cu strongly waved in distal part; A1 short and arcuate.

All legs ( Figs 3 View FIGURE 3 A–F) preserved, tibial spurs absent; first tarsomeres cylindrical and slender. Abdomen long, narrow. Male terminalia partly preserved, but not enough for a reconstruction.
