Nanoraphidia

Wikipedia Abstract

Nanoraphidia is an extinct monotypic genus of snakefly in the family Mesoraphidiidae containing the single species Nanoraphidia electroburmica. The genus name is derived from a combination of the Greek nano (dwarf) and the snakefly genus Raphidia, and the species name from the Latin electrum (amber) and Burma, the former name of Myanmar. The genus is known from only the holotype, a single, partial adult, now deposited in the American Museum of Natural History as specimen number Bu-092. The amber specimen is from deposits in Tanai Village, Kachin State 105 kilometres (65 mi) northwest of Myitkyina, Myanmar.
