The scuttle flies of the Rovno Amber have not been subjected to a specialist study so far, except for the analysis of their correlation with other arthropods in syninclusions ( Perkovsky, Rasnitsyn, 2013). The Baltic Amber Phoridae are reasonably well known (e. g., Evenhuis, 1994; Brown, 1999, 2005, 2009, 2013), though the genus Triphleba is represented by only a handful of species ( Evenhuis, 1994; Brown, 2003, 2005), with one being now discovered in the Rovno Amber.
