Abstract

Sinomusca mostovskii gen. et sp. n. (Diptera: Rhagionemestriidae) is described from the Yixian Formation, Liaoning Province, China. It is the second representative of this Mesozoic family with well preserved body structures. The rounded head with holoptic eyes and antennal structures of this fossil are similar to those of the Eremochaetidae.
