Abstract

The extinct genus Scydmobisetia Jałoszyński & Yamamoto comprises three species known from inclusions in the mid-Cretaceous Myanmar amber. Another species, Scydmobisetia dentipes Jałoszyński & Bai sp. n. is described from the same source. The holotype is a male showing a unique sub-basal tooth-like projection on the profemur.
