The fossil record of the family Camerobiidae has been represented by only one species, Neophyllobius succineus Bolland and Magowski, 1990, described from Eocene Baltic amber. These prostigmatan mites are distinguishable by their distinctly long and slender stilt-like legs, and they are associated with aboveground vegetation where they hunt for other small invertebrates. This paper enhances the knowledge of fossil stilt-legged mites. Two new fossil species, N. electrus new species and N. glaesus new species, are described from samples of Baltic amber, and remarks on their morphology and taphonomy are provided. The discovery is complemented with a discussion on morphological singularities (the shape of the prodorsum, the location of setae h1 and h2 in living specimens, and lengths of genual setae), an anomaly of hypertrophied seta (found in the N. glaesus holotype), and some biogeographical issues.UUID: http://zoobank.org/d1602384-ae4f-4f90-b4a1-6cdedd77c9e1

来自始新世波罗的海琥珀的 Neophyllobius Berlese,1886 年(Acariformes,Camerobiidae)的新化石高脚螨

Camerobiidae科的化石记录仅由一个物种代表,Neophyllobius succineusBolland 和 Magowski,1990,描述于始新世波罗的海琥珀。这些前柱螨的特点是它们明显又长又细的高跷状腿,它们与地面植被有关,在那里它们捕食其他小型无脊椎动物。本文增强了对高脚螨化石的认识。两个新的化石物种,电木新物种和N. glaesus从波罗的海琥珀样品中描述了新物种,并提供了对其形态和埋藏学的评论。这一发现补充了对形态奇点的讨论(前背体的形状,刚毛的位置h1h2在活体标本中,以及膝刚毛的长度),肥大的刚毛异常(见于N. glaesusholotype),以及一些生物地理问题。UUID:http://zoobank.org/d1602384-ae4f-4f90-b4a1-6cdedd77c9e1
