A new fossil stonefly genus of the subfamily Acroneuriinae Klapálek, 1914 (Plecoptera: Perlidae), Largusoperla gen. nov. is reported based on three well-preserved specimens in mid-Cretaceous amber from northern Myanmar. Three new species of this new genus, L. acus sp. nov, L. flata sp. nov and L. arcus sp. nov. are described and illustrated. This is the first report of stonefly specimens from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. The taxonomic placement of the new genus is discussed.
报道了扁泥蛉亚科(Acroneuriinae Klapálek,1914)(襀翅目:泥蛉科)的一个新化石石蝇属——大角石蝇属(Largusoperla gen. nov.),该属基于缅甸北部白垩纪中期琥珀中保存完好的三个标本建立。描述并图示了该新属的三个新物种,即尖大角石蝇(L. acus sp. nov)、扁大角石蝇(L. flata sp. nov)和弧大角石蝇(L. arcus sp. nov)。这是白垩纪中期缅甸琥珀中石蝇标本的首次报道。讨论了该新属的分类地位。
