Nannotanyderus oliviae Skibińska, Krzemiński & Coram sp. nov. (Figs. 2–5) Etymology. The new species name is dedicated to Olivia, daughter of Robert Coram. Type material. Holotype No. I-F/MP/ 2 / 1621 / 13, complete wing; Paratype No. I-F/MP/ 1 / 1600 / 12, wing lacking anal lobe below A 1 vein. Both from Brooki Bed, Shales-with-Beef Member, Charmouth Mudstone Formation, Lias Group (Lower Sinemurian, Turneri zone, Brooki subzone), Monmouth Beach, Lyme Regis, Dorset, UK (national grid reference SY 334 914). Diagnosis. The new species differs from all other members of the genus in that veins Rs, R 4 + 5 and R 4 form a nearly straight line, and vein R 4 + 5 is shorter than in other described species. It also differs from N. grimmenensis and N. ansorgei in that Sc terminates on the wing margin before fork of Rs into R 2 + 3 and R 4 + 5, from N. krzeminskii and N. kubekovensis in that m-cu is more distal to the fork of M 3 + 4 into M 3 and M 4, and from ? N. incertus in that Rs is shorter. The anal lobe is also more developed than in N. krzeminskii and N. ansorgei (not known in other species). Description. Holotype. Wing length 2.8 mm. Sc short, extending half wing length, ending before fork of Rs into R 2 + 3 and R 4 + 5; R 2 + 3 1.6 times longer than Rs and 2.6 times longer than R 2; Rs as long as R 3 and forming straight line with vein R 4; R 5 originates directly from R 4 a short distance distal to its fork from Rs; vein M 1 about 1.3 times longer than the upper edge of d cell; m-cu leaves M 4 distal to the fork of M 3 + 4 into M 3 and M 4. Explicit anal lobe. Remarks. Although similar to other Nannotanyderus species, in particular N. krzeminskii, the observed wing venation differences and significantly older age (in excess of 12 Ma), justify the description of a new species for the English material.

Genus Nannotanyderus Ansorge, 1994 Nannotanyderus comprises five species in addition to the one described herein: N. krzeminskii Ansorge, 1994 from the Toarcian of Grimmen and Dobbertin, Germany; N. grimmenensis Ansorge & Krzemiński, 2002 from the Toarcian of Grimmen;? N. incertus Lukashevich, 2011 from the Upper Jurassic of Shar-Teg, Mongolia (this is based on an incomplete wing assigned to the genus with some reservation by the original author); N. kubekovensis Skibińska & Krzemiński, 2013 from the Upper Jurassic of Karatau, Kazakhstan (in Skibińska & Krzemiński, 2013 the specimen locality was incorrectly stated as Kubekovo); and N. ansorgei Krzemiński et al., 2013 from Lower Cretaceous Lebanese amber. Members of this genus are distinguished by their tiny size, with a wing length of 2���4 mm. Moreover vein Sc does not extend beyond the mid���point of the wing and vein R 2 is several times shorter than R 2 + 3. Type species.

Description. Head: eye with pubescence similarly to other species of Macrochile from Baltic amber; antenna (Fig. 6) 18 -segmented; scape twice longer than wide; pedicel about as long as wide; first flagellomere 1.5 times longer than second; most flagellomeres nearly cylindrically shaped, with two long verticils; last segment c. 1.3 times longer than penultimate; palpus (Fig. 5): last segment 1.5 times longer than penultimate. Thorax dark brown. Wing 6.1 mm long (Figs 7, 8). Wing (Fig. 7) slightly brown infuscate with very small darker marks in outlets of veins R 2 + 3, R 4 + 5, M 4 and Cu. Sc ending opposite fork of R 4 + 5 into R 4 and R 5; R 2 + 3 as long as Rs; R 2 + 3 c. 1.75 times longer than R 2; M 1 twice longer than M 1 + 2 (i. e., upper part of d cell); base of d cell twice longer than remainder of M 3 (Fig. 8); A 2 forming characteristic loop with very well visible cross-vein between anal loop and A 1. Leg: fore leg with single apical spur (Figs 9, 10), mid and hind leg with two spurs. Abdomen: tergites and sternites dark brown banded, with proximal part being darker than distal. Hypopygium: 8 th abdominal segment distinctly narrowed, 9 th segment constricted into narrow ring with additional triangular lobe; gonocoxite (Fig. 11) short and rather wide, gonostylus with big protuberance provided with strong, short bristles; aedeagus trifid (Figs 12, 14). Remarks. The wing venation of the new species is very similar to that of Macrochile spectrum (Figs 1, 2), but the discal cell is longer and gonocoxite and gonostylus of both species are quite different (compare Figs 3, 4 and 12). The gonostylus of M. hornei is narrow, slightly curved at the top, and with flat, wide lobe provided with strong, short bristles., Published as part of Krzeminski, Wies��aw, Krzeminska, Ewa, Kania, Iwona & Ross, Andrew J., 2013, New taxa of Tanyderidae (Diptera) from Eocene Baltic amber, pp. 59-66 in Zootaxa 3599 (1) on pages 60-64, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.283215
