Galloatherix Nel, de Ploëg, and Perrichot, 2014: 592 . TYPE SPECIES : Galloatherix incompletus Nel, de Ploëg, and Perrichot, 2014: 592 . An isolated wing in Late Albian–Early Cenomanian amber from near Archingeay, Charentes-Maritime, France . EMENDED DIAGNOSIS : Nel et al. (2014) diagnosed Galloatherix based on the following wing vein features: R 2+3 sinuous, apex close to (but not contacting) apex of R 1 ; cell m 3 not present (tips of M 3 and CuA 1 distant, each meeting wing margin); cell br only slightly longer than cell bm; veins M 1 , M 2 , and M 3 longer than discal cell. To this diagnosis can provisionally be added: sexual dimorphism in mouthparts, proboscis of female ca. 2.5× the length of that in male; palp slender, digitiform; flagellomere 1 reniform; post-metathoracic spiracle scale and suprametacoxal pit absent; proscutellum present; with 1-2-2 long tibial spurs; cerci 2-segmented. COMMENTS: The wing venation of G. completus , n. sp. , and G. incompletus from the Cretaceous of France are very similar, with diagnostic species differences as noted below. Additional features based on nonwing characters were added to the generic diagnosis, above, but must be considered provisional until specimens of G. incompletus are found that have the body.
