We describe the earliest known representatives of the subfamily Hesperininae, and species of the extant genus Penthetria, from mid-Cretaceous amber of Myanmar. Penthetria is represented by Penthetria tenue sp. nov. and Penthetria tipuloides sp. nov. We also describe seven new species in the recently described genus Protopenthetria Li et al, 2021, which we also provisionally place in Hesperininae. In the nominate subgenus we describe Protopenthetria (s.str.) rectangula sp. nov. and P. (s.str.) longicornis sp. nov. which are probably related to Protopenthetria skartveiti Li et al., 2021. The new subgenus Megacephaletria subgen.n. is described, including five species, Protopenthetria (Megacephaletria) bicoloripes sp. nov., P. (M.) coronata sp. nov., P. (M.) crassitarsalis sp. nov., P. (M.) globistylus sp. nov. and P. (M.) pallipes sp. nov. The present results suggest that Myanmar amber includes a species-rich fauna of bibionid flies.
我们描述了缅甸白垩纪中期琥珀中已知最早的赫斯珀里纳亚科代表以及现存的彭特特里亚属物种。彭特特里亚属由新物种彭特特里亚细种和新物种似大蚊彭特特里亚代表。我们还描述了2021年李等人新描述的原彭特特里亚属中的七个新物种，我们也暂时将其归入赫斯珀里纳亚科。在指名亚属中，我们描述了新物种直角原彭特特里亚和长角原彭特特里亚，它们可能与2021年李等人描述的斯卡尔特维特原彭特特里亚有关。我们描述了新亚属巨头彭特特里亚亚属，包括五个物种，即双色足原彭特特里亚、具冠原彭特特里亚、粗跗节原彭特特里亚、球状花柱原彭特特里亚和浅色足原彭特特里亚。目前的结果表明，缅甸琥珀包含一个物种丰富的毛蠓类群。
