64DF7961BD855FDF8A60110C19D5C70B.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Janzenella theia differs from J. innupta in just a few notable characters. The compound eyes of J. theia are significantly larger than those of J. innupta, occupying most of the lateral head (compare Figures 5, 6). Janzenella theia also lacks the pronounced genal swelling that gives the head a quadrate appearance in J. innupta. In the forewing of J. theia, R is separated from the wing margin by at least the width of the vein, and r-rs is much longer than wide (> 3 x) (Figures 2, 10), contrasting that of J. innupta in which R reaches the costal margin and the length of r-rs is about equal to its width (Figure 9). The propodeum of J. theia has coarse rugae radiating from the propodeal foramen (Figure 12) whereas J. innupta has rugose-areolate sculpture with submedian smooth patches (Figure 11).	en	Bremer, Jonathan, van de Kamp, Thomas, Talamas, Elijah J.

64DF7961BD855FDF8A60110C19D5C70B.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The species is named after Theia, the mythical Greek titaness of sight, who is credited with endowing precious stones with their brilliance and intrinsic value. The name is treated as an appositional noun.	en	Bremer, Jonathan, van de Kamp, Thomas, Talamas, Elijah J.

64DF7961BD855FDF8A60110C19D5C70B.taxon	discussion	Discussion. Janzenella theia and J. innupta are remarkably similar (compare Figures 1 - 4 to 18, 19) given the span of time between the Eocene and the present, as is evidenced by the brevity of our species description and length of the generic description. This similarity, and the conspecificity of J. innupta specimens in Dominican amber and from Costa Rica (Masner and Johnson 2007), support the notion that morphological change occurs very slowly in Janzenella. We included two characters in our generic description that were assessed in only one of the species. The tibial spurs in Janzenella innupta are very small and required use of high magnification microscopy to confidently assess their number (Figures 16, 17), we were not able to determine their number on J. theia, but given that a 1 - 2 - 2 tibial spur formula is plesiomorphic for the superfamily (Chen et al. 2021), we consider it reasonable to believe that the older species has the same configuration. The pro-, meso- and metafurcae are clearly visible in the reconstructions of J. theia (Figures 13, 14) but we have not yet examined these structures in J. innupta. Given the similarity of J. theia and J. innupta, we treat these characters as stable within Janzenella for the purposes of comparative analysis. Metanotum. The lateral metanotum in J. innupta (Figure 11) is rugose in addition to the line of foveae along the posterior part of the sclerite. Such sculpture on this part of the metanotum (metanotal trough in taxa where the metascutellum is visible) is otherwise unknown to us in Platygastroidea. We were not able to resolve this detail in the rendered images of J. theia. Profurca. Vilhelmsen et al. (2010) found the profurcal bridge to be absent in Platygastroidea, although it has since been found to exist in the platygastrid genus Amitus Haldeman (Miko et al. 2021). The absence of the profurcal bridge in Janzenella is congruent with treating this as a plesiomorphic condition, although internal characters have yet to be examined in the recently erected families Geoscelionidae, Proterosceliopsidae, and Neuroscelionidae (Talamas et al. 2019; Chen et al. 2021). Mesofurca. Miko et al. (2007) reported the presence of a mesofurcal bridge in Scelionidae, which at that time contained lineages now treated as Nixoniidae and Sparasionidae (Chen et al. 2021). Miko et al. (2021) reported two forms in Platygastridae: without a bridge in Amitus and with a bridge in Synopeas Foerster. Heraty et al. (1994) determined the mesofurcal bridge to be absent in Platygastridae based on examination of two genera (Isocybus Foerster and Inostemma Haliday) and considered that these losses were apomorphies. The absence of a mesofurcal bridge in J. theia thus may indicate close relation to Platygastridae, as was suggested by the analyses of Chen et al. (2021). However, the presence of a mesofurcal bridge in Synopeas reflects the need for greater taxon sampling in Platygastridae to confidently establish the plesiomorphic condition for Platygastridae and to determine if loss of the mesofurcal bridge is indeed irreversible as Heraty et al. (1994) suggested.	en	Bremer, Jonathan, van de Kamp, Thomas, Talamas, Elijah J. (2021): Janzenella theia Bremer & Talamas (Platygastroidea, Janzenellidae): a new species from Baltic amber.
