Pérez de la Fuente, RicardoPeñalver Mollá, EnriqueDelclòs Martínez, XavierEngel, Michael S.2022-10-262022-10-262019-06-242624-2826https://hdl.handle.net/2445/190228A new Cretaceous dustywing, Soplaoconis ortegablancoi gen. et sp. nov. (Neuroptera: Coniopterygidae), is described from four specimens preserved in Early Cretaceous (Albian, ~105Ma) El Soplao amber (Cantabria, northern Spain). Two additional specimens are assigned to this new taxon. A crossvenational abnormality on an area of diagnostic significance from one of the holotype's forewings provides a reminder of the importance of not ruling out character plasticity or teratoses when evaluating palaeodiversity. A comment on the possible palaeoecological significance of the co-occurrence as syninclusions of plant trichomes with the holotype of S. ortegablancoi and seven of the eleven described Burmese amber dustywing species is provided.10 p.application/pdfeng(c) Pérez de la Fuente, Ricardo et al., 2019http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/AmbreCretaciInsectes fòssilsEspanyaAmberCretaceous PeriodInsects fossilSpaininfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6984322022-10-26info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
