“…Remarks : The combination of oval eyes, 14 flagellomeres, R with 4 branches, Sc short, cell br open and cerci of unusual shape without setae does not meet the definitions of Trichomyiinae or of Psychodinae. Bamara shares some morphological characters with Xenotrichomyia Azar, Mouawad & Salamé (2015) from the Upper Cretaceous of New Jersey concerning eyes, palpus and radial veins but differs in essential taxonomic characters of the flagellum, wing venation and male terminalia so that a closer relationship is excluded. Furthermore, Bamara shows similarities with the genus Axenotrichomyia Azar et al (2015) from Burmese amber concerning number of palpus segments and flagellomeres and the wing venation.…”

One new subfamily, four new genera and 10 new species of Psychodidae are described from Burmese amber which significantly increases our knowledge about this group in the Cretaceous. Protopsychodinae n. subfam. probably represents the oldest known ancestor of modern Psychodinae and includes three species within two genera: Datzia setosa gen. et sp. n., Datzia bispina gen. et sp. n., and Mandalayia beumersorum gen. et sp. n. Sycoracinae and Phlebotominae are represented by two genera each in the studied material, Palaeoparasycorax globosus gen. et sp. n., Palaeoparasycorax suppus gen. et sp. n., Parasycorax simplex sp. n., and Phlebotomites aphoe sp. n. and Phlebotomus vetus sp. n., respectively. Bruchomyiinae is represented by Nemopalpus quadrispiculatus sp. n. Furthermore, one genus of an incertae sedis subfamily, Bamara groehni gen. et sp. n., is described. The systematic positions of the new taxa are discussed.
