The recently reviewed subtribe Procirrina comprises eight extant genera with a predominately (sub)tropical distribution. Previous phylogenies consistently recover the tribe Pinophilini of the subfamily Paederinae monophyletic. No fossils of the tribe have been described, although compression fossils are known from the Cenozoic Green River Formation (50.3-46.2 Ma) as well as inclusions from the Miocene Dominican (20.43-13.65 Ma) and Mexican (20-15 Ma) ambers. Here we describe † Jenkins Shaw and Żyła gen. et sp. n., the oldest fossil representative of the tribe Pinophilini, from Upper Cretaceous Burmese amber (ca. 99 Ma). Phylogenetic analyses of morphological data allow its unambiguous placement in the subtribe Procirrina. † is the second genus of Paederinae described from Burmese amber and provides an important insight into the evolution of the subfamily.
最近经过综述的Procirrina亚族包括八个现存属,主要分布在(亚)热带地区。先前的系统发育研究一直认为隐翅虫亚科的Pinophilini族是单系的。尽管已知新生代绿河组(5030 - 4620万年前)的压缩化石以及中新世多米尼加(2043 - 1365万年前)和墨西哥(2000 - 1500万年前)琥珀中的内含物,但该族尚无化石被描述。在此,我们描述了† Jenkins Shaw and Żyła属及新种,这是Pinophilini族最古老的化石代表,来自上白垩统缅甸琥珀(约9900万年前)。对形态学数据的系统发育分析使其能够明确归入Procirrina亚族。†是从缅甸琥珀中描述的隐翅虫亚科的第二个属,为该亚科的进化提供了重要见解。
