Parasabatinca

Wikipedia Abstract

Parasabatinca is an extinct genus of small primitive metallic moths within the extant family Micropterigidae or extinct family Eolepidopterigidae, containing two species. The first is Parasabatinca aftimacrai, of which fossil remains have been found in Lebanese amber and have been dated to the Lower Cretaceous. Parasabatinca caldasae is known from two specimens from the Santana formation in Brazil. The age of the fossil has been estimated to be between 125-112 Ma, since it was discovered in Crato fossil beds (Lower Cretaceous, Aptian).
