Family Archizelmiridae Rohdendorf, 1962 View in CoL

Grimaldi et al. (2003: fig. 12) estimated the relationships among the four genera of Archizelmiridae , and convincingly proposed that the three genera preserved in amber form a monophyletic lineage ( Zelmiarcha + ( Burmazelmira + Archimelzira )), characterized by the loss of vein R 4, shortening of R 1, and differentiation of flagellomeres, which gradually or dramatically narrow towards the apex of the flagellum. The present study has shown that the family is sufficiently diverse in wing venation to be divided into two subfamilies, viz. the monotypic Archizelmirinae and the more diverse and widely distributed Burmazelmirinae subfam. nov.
