Abstract:
The stonefly fauna in mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber is reviewed. A new fossil stonefly, Burperla decolorata gen. et sp. nov., is described and illustrated based on a well-preserved female specimen. This new taxon is characterized by the combi-nation of the following characters: long and pale body, long palps and antennae, RA almost reaching wing apex, subgenital plate broad and rounded with a posteromedial projection. These morphological characters distinguish it from other extant and extinct stoneflies of Perlidae.
