Abstract

During a palaeontological excavation of amber at the site named San Just, in the Utrillas-Escucha area of Teruel Province, northeastern Spain, a rich fauna from the Albian (Early Cretaceous) was discovered. Among it, three specimens of Thysanoptera were found that are here attributed to the new genus Hispanothrips n. gen. in the family Stenurothripidae Bagnall 1923. Phylogenetic analyses were conducted that support the resurrection of the family Stenurothripidae and its replacement for Adiheterothripidae Shumsher 1946.

Résumé

Hispanothrips de l’ambre crétacé inférieur d’Espagne, un nouveau genre de Stenurothripidae stat. rest. (Insecta: Thysanoptera). Au cours d’une fouille paléontologique au site de San Just, Utrillas-Escucha dans la province de Teruel (Nord-est de l’Espagne), une faune exceptionnellement riche datant de l’Albien (Crétacé Inférieur) a été découverte. Parmi elle, nous attribuons trois spécimens à un nouveau genre Hispanothrips n. gen. dans la famille Stenurothripidae Bagnall 1923. Nous restaurons ce nom de famille à la place d’Adiheterothripidae Shumsher 1946, et proposons des analyses phylogénétiques soutenant un clade Stenurothripidae et cette modification nominale.
