ABSTRACT Five new beaded lacewings (Neuroptera: Berothidae) are described from ca. 105 Ma Spanish amber. A new genus and species, Cantabroberotha soplaensis gen. et sp. nov., are erected based on a complete amber specimen from the El Soplao outcrop (Cantabria, northern Spain). Four indeterminate berothids based on incomplete specimens are described from Penacerrada I amber (Burgos, northern Spain). One of these provides a rare instance of an amber fossil being partially preserved as an impression rather than as a complete inclusion. This was the result of the lacewing not fully penetrating into a resin flow, its wings getting caught on the resin surface and leaving an imprint. The preservation of this delicate impression fossil allows us to infer that a low grade transport likely occurred, at least partly, during the biostratinomic phase of the genesis of the Penacerrada I amber deposit, similar to what was inferred for the El Soplao amber deposit. Moreover, one of the incomplete berothid inclusions has an indeterminate, likely immature mesostigmatan mite attached to the proximal part of its hind wing, most parsimoniously resulting from a symbiotic interaction, probably phoresy.

西班牙下白垩纪琥珀中的串珠草蛉(神经翅目:Berothidae)

摘要从大约描述了五个新的串珠草蛉(神经翅目:Berothidae)。105 Ma 西班牙琥珀。一个新属和种, Cantabroberotha soplaensis gen。等 sp. 11 月,根据来自 El Soplao 露头(西班牙北部坎塔布里亚)的完整琥珀标本而建造。在 Penacerrada I amber(西班牙北部布尔戈斯)中描述了基于不完整标本的四个不确定的 berothids。其中之一提供了一个罕见的例子,即琥珀化石被部分保存为印象而不是完整的内含物。这是草蛉没有完全渗透到树脂流中的结果,它的翅膀被树脂表面缠住并留下印记。这个精致的印象化石的保存使我们能够推断出可能发生了低等级的运输,至少部分地,在 Penacerrada I 琥珀矿床成因的生物地层阶段,类似于 El Soplao 琥珀矿床的推断。此外,其中一个不完整的 berothid 内含物有一个不确定的,可能是未成熟的mesostigmatan 螨附着在其后翅的近端部分,最简单的原因是共生相互作用,可能是 phoresy。
