Galloromma turolensis
Ortega

, transferred herein to
Cretaceomma
gen. nov.
Etymology.
The genus name combines parts of Cretaceous and
Galloromma
.
Diagnosis.
Female antenna 14-segmented with 7- segmented funicle and 5-segmented loose (movably interconnected) clava. Pronotum reaching wing base or nearly so.
Remarks.
New genus differs from the
type
genus of the family
Galloromma
Schlüter,
1978
in more polymerous antenna (13-segmented with 4-segmented club in
Galloromma
) and pronotum apparently reaching wing bases (shortened posterolateral and far not reaching wing bases in
Galloromma
).
Galloromma turolensis
Ortega
et al
., 2011
from the Albian San Just amber in
Spain
is similar to the
type
species in above characters and that is why it is transferred to the new genus.
