We describe two larvae of Raphidioptera probably belonging to different genera of Raphidiidae, the first recorded from middle Eocene Sakhalinian amber and late Eocene Rovno amber. The Sakhalinian larva is the first confirmed representative of Raphidioptera from the Cenozoic of Asia, and most probably the oldest larvae of an extant family of the order. The Rovno amber larva is the first European Cenozoic immature raphidiopteran found outside of Russo-Scandia. The terrestrial insect assemblage of the Sakhalinian amber forest is discussed, including snakeflies. An abundance of aphids and rarity of ants distinguishes this assemblage from other Cenozoic amber faunas.
我们描述了两种蛇蛉目幼虫，可能属于蛇蛉科的不同属，首次记录于中始新世的萨哈林琥珀和晚始新世的罗夫诺琥珀。萨哈林幼虫是亚洲新生代蛇蛉目的首个经确认的代表，很可能也是该目现存一个科最古老的幼虫。罗夫诺琥珀幼虫是在俄罗斯 - 斯堪的纳维亚地区以外发现的首个欧洲新生代未成熟蛇蛉目昆虫。文中讨论了萨哈林琥珀森林的陆生昆虫群落，包括蛇蛉。大量的蚜虫和稀少的蚂蚁使这个群落有别于其他新生代琥珀动物群。
