Davimacrocera, a New Extant Genus of Keroplatidae, with Notes on the Fossil Genus Burmacrocera (Diptera)

Original language description

Nematocerous flies, or lower Diptera, are one of the most species-rich groups of insects. The family Keroplatidae belongs to the particularly speciose dipteran infraorder Bibionomorpha, of which larvae are mostly associated with fungi. The family is characterized by flattened antennae and bright coloration in some species, and in some genera, the larvae are known for their ability of bioluminescence. Although many new species and new genera have already been discovered and described in this family, many taxa still remain undescribed, especially outside Europe or North America, and one such genus is described as new to science in this paper. It is distributed in the Oriental region and shares interesting ancient features with some fossil representatives of the family. A new extant genus of Keroplatidae (Diptera: Bibionomorpha), Davimacrocera gen. nov., is described in this paper, which includes two new species, Davimacrocera davidi sp. nov. (Brunei, type species of the genus) and D. taiwanensis sp. nov. (Taiwan, China). Its relationships to other extant genera and possible phylogenetic position are briefly discussed, including a comparison with the fossil genus Burmacrocera Cockerell, 1917 from the mid-Cretaceous amber of Myanmar. The identity of Burmacrocera remains unclear, pending further studies of Keroplatidae in Burmese amber.
