“…It was interpreted as originally caused by larvae of soldier flies of the group Stratiomys Geoffroy, 1762 or at least a closely related species (Mángano, Buatois & Claps, 1996). This expands the potential range of the geological record of the group from the Barremian (Cretaceous) to the mid Jurassic (Mángano, Buatois & Claps, 1996;Pickerill, Han & Jiang, 1998). Body fossils of stratiomyomorphans, as mentioned, are rare.…”

“…Ichnofossils attributed to larvae of Stratiomyomorpha are quite common in the fossil record ( Mángano, Buatois & Claps, 1996 ; Pickerill, Han & Jiang, 1998 ), while body fossils of this group have been scarce ( Evenhuis, 1994 ). So far, only five deposits are yielding any of them: Whalley & Jarzembowski (1985) reported four stratiomyomorphan larvae, differentiated into two morphotypes, from the Early Cretaceous Montsech (Lerida, Spain, 125.45 to 122.46 Ma) lithographic limestone of Spain.…”

Stratiomyomorpha (soldier flies and allies) is an ingroup of Diptera, with a fossil record stretching back to the Early Cretaceous (the Barremian, about 125 MYA). Stratiomyomorpha includes at least 3,000 species in the modern fauna, with many species being crucial for ecosystem functions, especially as saprophages. Larvae of many stratiomyomorphans are especially important as scavengers and saproxyls in modern ecosystems. Yet, fossil larvae of the group are extremely scarce. Here we present 23 new records of fossil stratiomyomorphan larvae, representing six discrete morphotypes. Specimens originate from Cretaceous amber from Myanmar, Eocene Baltic amber, Miocene Dominican amber, and compression fossils from the Eocene of Messel (Germany) and the Miocene of Slovenia. We discuss the implications of these new records for our understanding of stratiomyomorphan ecomorphology in deep time as well as their palaeoecology.

“…Wetzel and Bromley (1996) considered Helminthopsis abeli Ksia ˛ykiewicz, Helminthopsis hieroglyphica Heer in Maillard, and Helminthopsis tenuis Ksia ˛ykiewicz, as the only valid ichnospecies. In contrast, as noted in Pickerill et al (1998) and contra Wetzel and Bromley (1996), the statistical analysis of type specimens by Han and Pickerill (1995) is valid and of use in distinguishing ichnospecies of Helminthopsis. Accordingly, H. abeli and H. hieroglyphica can be distinguished by differences in the surficial winding geometry, and Helminthopsis granulata Ksia ˛ykiewicz, is distinct because of its marginal pelletal ornamentation.…”
