sp. nov., a new fossil species of the family Lauxaniidae (Diptera: Acalyptratae), is described and illustrated from Oise amber, France (Eocene, lower Ypresian, ca 53 Ma), and its relationship is discussed. Inasmuch as this first finding of a member of Schizophora in Oise amber probably represents the oldest known record of this group of Diptera, the age of Schizophora, based on the known fossil records, is discussed.
新物种,即扁角蝇科(双翅目:无瓣蝇类)的一个新化石物种,根据法国瓦兹琥珀(始新世,早伊普雷斯阶,约5300万年前)进行了描述和图示,并讨论了其亲缘关系。鉴于在瓦兹琥珀中首次发现的裂盾类成员可能代表了该双翅目类群已知最古老的记录,基于已知化石记录,对裂盾类的时代进行了讨论。
