Dikow, Torsten, 1975-Grimaldi, David A.2014-04-222014-04-222014-04-21http://hdl.handle.net/2246/652219 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 26 cm.Cretaceous fossils of Asilidae are reviewed, and two new taxa from Burmese and Raritan (New Jersey) ambers are described. The first robber fly from Burmese amber, [dagger]Burmapogon bruckschi, new genus and species, is described based on specimens of both sexes. A scientific name is provided for the previously described but unnamed fossil assassin fly from Raritan amber, [dagger]Cretagaster raritanensis, new genus and species, preserved as a fragmentary specimen. The amber fossils are placed phylogenetically within Asilidae. Specifically, [dagger]Burmapogon is postulated to be a representative of the clade comprised of (Brachyrhopalinae + Stichopogoninae), while [dagger]Cretagaster is a member of the Leptogastrinae and postulated to be an extinct sister group to (Acronychini + Leptogastrini).en-USBurmapogon bruckschi.Cretagaster raritanensis.Robber flies.Amber fossils.Diptera, Fossil.Myitkyinā Region (Burma)Sayreville (N.J.)Burma.New Jersey.
