Abstract
Australomymar losinnoense sp. nov. is described from a female preserved in Eocene Baltic amber from Poland, which represents the first fossil record of Australomymar Girault. The species is placed in Australomymar based on the combination of 4-segmented tarsi, a 6-segmented funicle with an entire clava, a relatively broad fore wing with long venation, and a distinctly exserted ovipositor. The new species differs from extant congeners in antennal proportions, absence of a diagonal fold or line of setae on the fore wing, and ovipositor sheath length relative to the gaster. This discovery extends the known temporal range of Australomymar to the Eocene and indicates a broader past geographical distribution of the genus.
