ABSTRACT The first ocydromiine hybotid fly is described and illustrated from a remarkable male preserved in mid-Cretaceous amber from northern Myanmar. Pouillonhybos venator, gen. et sp. nov., is distinguished from other members of the subfamily Ocydromiinae as well as other lineages of living and fossil Hybotidae. The holotype of P. venator exhibits spectacular specializations of the mid and hind legs, modifications likely linked to the grasping of prey either during capture and/or while feeding. The species reported here is the earliest evidence of significant leg modifications in Hybotidae indicating an early appearance of such specializations in the family’s history.

来自缅甸的白垩纪中期琥珀亚科 Ocydromiinae 的第一只掠食性舞蝇,具有专门的猛禽腿(双翅目:蝾螈科)

摘要 第一只 ocydromiine hybotid 蝇被描述和说明来自缅甸北部白垩纪中期琥珀中保存的非凡雄性。Pouillonhybos venator,将军。等 sp. nov., 与 Ocydromiinae 亚科的其他成员以及生活和化石 Hybotidae 的其他谱系不同。P. venator 的正模标本表现出惊人的中、后腿特化,可能与捕获和/或喂食过程中抓住猎物有关。此处报告的物种是 Hybotidae 中显着腿部变化的最早证据,表明该家族历史上此类特化的早期出现。
