Abstract

fossil record

Myanmar

Sejida

parasitiformes

This paper describes the first record of the Sejida (= Sejina) family Sejidae (superfamily Sejoidea) from Burmese amber, based on deutonymphs. Specimens were found in the amber piece along with a wasp (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae), flies (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) and thrips (Thysanoptera: Adiheterothripidae). This record traces the Sejida (= Sejina) back to the mid-Cretaceous (ca. 100 Ma) and represents not only the oldest valid record of Mesostigmata, but it is also one of the oldest examples of the entire Parasitiformes clade.
