Abstract

Three described species, Neureclipsistriangula sp. nov., Neureclipsisacuta sp. nov., and Neureclipsisobtusa sp. nov., expand the Neureclipsis cluster to six species dominating the Polycentropodidae in Burmese amber. The new species Plectrocnemiaohlhoffi sp. nov. and Plectrocnemiabowangi sp. nov. of the Polycentropus cluster add to the comparatively low occurrence of Polycentropodidae in Burmese mid-Cretaceous amber.

Keywords: Hukawng valley; Kachin amber; Neureclipsis cluster; Polycentropus cluster.
