CA7FA417974E7E46FF57FAE1FD72EDE2.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. d-cell closed; cross vein m-cu far before bifurcation of Mb into M 1 + 2 and M 3 + 4; gonocoxites with long single appendage in apical part; parameres very long reaching gonocoxite length or longer; outer and inner gonostylus partially fused in basal part. Considering the structure of the hypopygium, two species known only from the Burmese amber, i. e.,? Antocha (? subgen.) lapra Podenas & Poinar, 2009 and Aleksiana rasnitsyni sp. nov. are included in the new genus.	en	KRZEMIŃSKI, WIESŁAW, KOPEĆ, KATARZYNA, SOSZYŃSKA-MAJ, AGNIESZKA, SKIBIŃSKA, KORNELIA (2021): Aleksiana rasnitsyni gen. et sp. nov.

Female well preserved only legs fragmentarily preserved (Fig. 2 A). Head (Figs 1 B, 2 B). Small, broader than its length, placed on a relatively long neck; antennae with 16 flagellomeres (Fig. 3 B), scapus large, tubular, pedicel slightly broader than scapus, short, fusiform; basal flagellomeres short, broad, gradually decreasing and taking on an elongated shape; all flagellomeres have 2 – 3 short bristles; the last segment equal in length to the penultimate one; palpi short, the last segment almost 2 × longer than the penultimate one; Thorax. Legs slender, long, without tibial spur, preserved only partially; wing 3 × longer than its width (Figs 1 C, 3 A); vein Sc ends opposite fork of Rs; cross vein sc-r well beyond end of Sc, almost opposite 1 / 3 length of Rs; R 1 ends opposite cross vein r-m; cross vein r-r (R 2) long and located just before end of R 1; Rs 2 × longer than R 2 + 3 + 4, vein R 3 + 4 3.5 × longer than R 2 + 3 + 4; d-cell constitutes 1 / 10 of the wing length; vein M 1 + 2 slightly more than 2 × longer than length of d- cell; cross vein m-cu well before Mb bifurcates into M 1 + 2 and M 3 + 4; vein A 2 distinctly wavy. Abdomen. Hypopygium of male rather short (Figs 1 D, 3 C), broad with very long, broken, single process on gonocoxites; gonostylus partially fused together, outer with very long, strongly curved, narrow process; aedeagus not visible; parameres very long, slightly longer than length of gonocoxites. Ovipositor of female narrow, delicate, strongly curved dorsally (2 C).	en	KRZEMIŃSKI, WIESŁAW, KOPEĆ, KATARZYNA, SOSZYŃSKA-MAJ, AGNIESZKA, SKIBIŃSKA, KORNELIA (2021): Aleksiana rasnitsyni gen. et sp. nov.

CA7FA417974D7E44FCF5F8EDFE2BEF71.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species is described on the basis of a very poorly preserved specimen (Podenas & Poinar, 2009) and therefore its description is provisional. However, it is clearly distinguished from the new species in the details of the wing venation and the structure of the male hypopygium, especially in the presence of processes on the gonocoxites and a size of parameres, which are much shorter than in Aleksiana rasnitsyni gen. et sp. nov. The female is unknown.	en	KRZEMIŃSKI, WIESŁAW, KOPEĆ, KATARZYNA, SOSZYŃSKA-MAJ, AGNIESZKA, SKIBIŃSKA, KORNELIA (2021): Aleksiana rasnitsyni gen. et sp. nov.
