One new subfamily, four new genera and 10 new species of Psychodidae are described from Burmese amber which significantly increases our knowledge about this group in the Cretaceous. Protopsychodinae n. subfam. probably represents the oldest known ancestor of modern Psychodinae and includes three species within two genera: Datzia setosa gen. et sp. n., Datzia bispina gen. et sp. n., and Mandalayia beumersorum gen. et sp. n. Sycoracinae and Phlebotominae are represented by two genera each in the studied material, Palaeoparasycorax globosus gen. et sp. n., Palaeoparasycorax suppus gen. et sp. n., Parasycorax simplex sp. n., and Phlebotomites aphoe sp. n. and Phlebotomus vetus sp. n., respectively. Bruchomyiinae is represented by Nemopalpus quadrispiculatus sp. n. Furthermore, one genus of an incertae sedis subfamily, Bamara groehni gen. et sp. n., is described. The systematic positions of the new taxa are discussed.

从缅甸琥珀中描述了蠓科的一个新亚科、四个新属和10个新物种，这显著增加了我们对白垩纪该类群的了解。原蠓亚科（Protopsychodinae）n. 亚科可能代表了现代蠓亚科已知最古老的祖先，包括两个属中的三个物种：刚毛刺蠓（Datzia setosa）gen. et sp. n.、双刺刺蠓（Datzia bispina）gen. et sp. n. 和波美尔斯曼德勒蠓（Mandalayia beumersorum）gen. et sp. n.。在研究材料中，刺蠓亚科（Sycoracinae）和白蛉亚科（Phlebotominae）各由两个属代表，分别是球形古副刺蠓（Palaeoparasycorax globosus）gen. et sp. n.、矮胖古副刺蠓（Palaeoparasycorax suppus）gen. et sp. n.、简单副刺蠓（Parasycorax simplex）sp. n.，以及阿霍白蛉（Phlebotomites aphoe）sp. n. 和古白蛉（Phlebotomus vetus）sp. n.。布鲁氏蠓亚科（Bruchomyiinae）由四刺新帕普斯蠓（Nemopalpus quadrispiculatus）sp. n. 代表。此外，还描述了一个地位未定亚科的一个属，即格氏巴马蠓（Bamara groehni）gen. et sp. n.。讨论了新分类单元的系统位置。
