RASNITSYN, ALEXANDR P., MAALOUF, MOUNIR, MAALOUF, RAMY & AZAR, DANY, 2022, New Serphitidae and Gallorommatidae (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Microprocta) in the Early Cretaceous Lebanese amber, Palaeoentomology 5 (2), pp. 120-136 : 128-129

Genus Cretaceomma Rasnitsyn & Azar gen. nov.

Type species. Cretaceomma libanensis sp. nov.; by present designation.

Other species. Galloromma turolensis Ortega et al., 2011a , transferred herein to Cretaceomma gen. nov.

Etymology. The genus name combines parts of Cretaceous and Galloromma .

Diagnosis. Female antenna 14-segmented with 7- segmented funicle and 5-segmented loose (movably interconnected) clava. Pronotum reaching wing base or nearly so.

Remarks. New genus differs from the type genus of the family Galloromma Schlüter, 1978 in more polymerous antenna (13-segmented with 4-segmented club in Galloromma ) and pronotum apparently reaching wing bases (shortened posterolateral and far not reaching wing bases in Galloromma ). Galloromma turolensis Ortega et al., 2011 from the Albian San Just amber in Spain is similar to the type species in above characters and that is why it is transferred to the new genus.
