D77A4F5B6192544591C3FC0133F85E8D.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The species is named in honor of Patrick Mueller, collector and promoter of research on Burma amber inclusions.	en	Mey, Wolfram, Wichard, Wilfried (2023): Tarachoptera: The extinct and enigmatic cousins of Trichoptera and Lepidoptera, with descriptions of two new species. Contributions to Entomology 73 (2): 137-146, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/contrib.entomol.73.e110233, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/contrib.entomol.73.e110233

Length of body 2.2 mm, forewings 2.9 mm; head with a triangular, frontal process; eyes hemispherical; scape and pedicellus slender, not as broad as following flagellomeres (Fig. 1); 24 flagellomeres, broad, flat, quadrangular, with hairs or scales shorter than flagellomere diameter (Figs 6 c, 6 d). Male genitalia (Figs 2, 6): dorsal plate long, tapering to round apex; ventral comb on sternum IX with 10 stiff spines.	en	Mey, Wolfram, Wichard, Wilfried (2023): Tarachoptera: The extinct and enigmatic cousins of Trichoptera and Lepidoptera, with descriptions of two new species.

D77A4F5B6192544591C3FC0133F85E8D.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. By using the identification key of Wichard and Mey (2021), the new species comes out as Kinitocelis. The new species can be distinguished from all congeners by the triangular, pointed anterior margin of the head and by the very broad flagellomeres of the antennae.	en	Mey, Wolfram, Wichard, Wilfried (2023): Tarachoptera: The extinct and enigmatic cousins of Trichoptera and Lepidoptera, with descriptions of two new species.

Holotype, male, Burmese Amber, Paratype, female, included in the same amber piece, deposited in Zoological Research Museum Alexander Koenig, Bonn, Germany, inventory no.: ZFMK-TRI 000837 (ex coll.

B5AA3D0AAEB7560C9AD920AEF34377B2.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The new species is dedicated to Emma Ross, the first researcher examining the piece of amber containing the fossil that later became the first described species of Tarachoptera.	en	Mey, Wolfram, Wichard, Wilfried (2023): Tarachoptera: The extinct and enigmatic cousins of Trichoptera and Lepidoptera, with descriptions of two new species.

B5AA3D0AAEB7560C9AD920AEF34377B2.taxon	description	Description. Length of body 2 - 3 mm (male), forewings 2.5 mm (female); head elongate and somewhat flattened dorsoventrally, with anteriorly produced frontal part; eyes prolonged, nearly stalked, with apical rounded portion black (Fig. 3); antennae as long as body, scape longer than eye diameter, each flagellum with 23 flagellomeres, the terminal 6 or 7 flagellomeres thickened, the basal flagellomeres slender and long (Fig. 4); maxillary palps very short, each with three segments of equal length, last segment pointed; labial palps long, each with three segments, terminal segment longest, not enlarged apically; galea large, clavate, with six finger-like processes directed toward perioral opening. Male genitalia (Figs 5, 7; macerated, not preserved): Ventral comb of sternum IX with 14 stiff and apically blunt spines. Legs with smaller spines on all tibiae, tarsal segments with terminal pair of ventral bristles.	en	Mey, Wolfram, Wichard, Wilfried (2023): Tarachoptera: The extinct and enigmatic cousins of Trichoptera and Lepidoptera, with descriptions of two new species.

B5AA3D0AAEB7560C9AD920AEF34377B2.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The species is unique in its clubbed antennae, a character encountered in Tarachoptera for the first time here and not observed in any other basal taxa. The anteriorly produced head is similar to Tarachocelis microlepidopterella Mey et al. (2017 b), and based on this similarity and in the absence of other visible traits, the new species is assigned provisionally to Tarachocelis.	en	Mey, Wolfram, Wichard, Wilfried (2023): Tarachoptera: The extinct and enigmatic cousins of Trichoptera and Lepidoptera, with descriptions of two new species.
