Abstract The Meropeidae (earwigflies) is a small family of Mecoptera with only three extant and three fossil species. In this paper, a new species of Meropeidae Burmomerope bashkuevi sp. nov., is described based on an exceptionally well-preserved specimen from mid-Cretaceous Myanmar amber. It can be distinguished from other species mainly by most simplified wing venation, four veins both in radial and medial sectors, massive antenna with wide flagellomeres and very thin and elongated last segments of female abdomen. Our new finding not only represents the fourth species of Mesozoic Meropeidae, but also the third female record of extinct earwigflies, which augments the diversity of Mesozoic earwigflies.

白垩纪中期缅甸琥珀的一种新种（昆虫纲：Mecoptera）

摘要 蜂翅目（earwigflies）是翅翅目的一个小科，现存仅有三个物种和三个化石种。在本文中，Meropeidae Burmomerope bashkuevi sp. 的一个新种。11 月，根据来自白垩纪中期缅甸琥珀的保存异常完好的标本进行描述。它与其他物种的区别主要在于最简化的翼脉，径向和中间部分的四个静脉，具有宽鞭毛的巨大触角和非常细长的雌性腹部最后一段。我们的新发现不仅代表了中生代耳螟科的第四个物种，而且还代表了已灭绝的耳螟的第三个雌性记录，这增加了中生代耳螟的多样性。
