            <p>(Figs 1, 2)</p>
            <p> Type material. Holotype, female, SIZK UA- 27924, Rovno amber, Ukraine, late Eocene. The holotype is in a subrectangular light yellow stone (6x5x 2 mm); with a syninclusion:  Palaeosystenus succinorum (Meunier, 1907) (  Diptera :  Dolichopodidae ) (Fig. 1A). The specimen is complete, in good condition but its lower portion is covered with a dense, milky coating. </p>
            <p>Diagnosis. Minute fly, body length about 1 mm; wing lacking cell bm (crossvein bm-m absent), vein R 4+5 straight; scutellum with 4 setae.</p>
            <p>Description. Female (Figs 1B, C). Body length 1.2, wing length 1.1 mm. Head. Frons (Fig. 1D) broadly V-shaped, narrow above antennae, widened towards ocellar tubercle, greyish pruinose. Face linear, very narrow. Eyes rather narrow (lateral view), ommatidia uniformly large, with scattered ommatrichia. One pair of rather long, strong, lateroclinate, posterior ocellar setae inserted anterior to posterior ocelli; two lateroclinate setulae just behind ocellar triangle; two inclinate upper orbital setae present, nearly as long as ocellars (inserted slightly anterior to anterior ocellus). Two vertical setae, inclinate, nearly as long as ocellar setae. Occiput pruinose, with row of short postocular setae. Antenna with scape bearing mostly subequally short setulae, 1 seta beneath longer (nearly as long as length of pedicel); postpedicel about as long as pedicel, rather subglobular, somewhat asymmetrical, with small dorsoapical extension, probably bearing a sensory pit on inner face; stylus dorsoapical, arista-like, very long, nearly 6X longer than postpedicel, short pubescent. Gena, proboscis and palpi obscured; probably proboscis somewhat elongate, palpus small and bearing at least 1 subapical seta. Thorax (Figs 1D, 2A) Faintly tomentose; 1 moderately long, strong postpronotal seta (accompanied by some short setae anteriorly); prothoracic episterna with 1 setula just above fore coxa and 1 short upturned seta on upper part. Mesonotal setae: scutum covered with well differentiated, relatively sparse setae arranged in more or less distinct irregular rows (5–6 setae per row); acrostichal setae slightly shorter than dorsocentrals and barely separated from them; dorsocentral setae 2–3-serial, 1 longer prescutellar seta; 2 supra-alars, 3 notopleurals (2 setae longer), 1 postalar; scutellum broadly rounded, with 4 setae (apical pair long, lateral pair very short). Legs. Relatively slender but fore femur and tibia distinctly stouter; setulose, almost lacking prominent setae, mid femur with 1 moderately long, anterior subapical seta. Wing (Fig. 2B). Normally developed; membrane hyaline, covered with distinct microtrichia. Basal costal seta present, short. Costal index (proportions of distances between humeral crossvein and R 1 / R 1 and R 2+3 / R 2+3 and R 4+5, respectively): 1.5/1/2. R 1 meeting costa before midpoint of wing; Rs originating at about proximal 1/4 between humeral crossvein and apex of vein R 1, long, 4X longer than basal portion of R 4+5; R 2+3 meeting costa beyond midpoint of wing, nearly straight, gently curved meeting costa; R 4+5 and M 1 divergent towards wing margin, both straight. Crossvein r-m distinct, very short. Cell bm absent (crossvein bm-m absent). Cell cua absent, no trace of vein CuA+CuP. Anal lobe weakly prominent. Halter with dark knob contrasting with pale stem. Abdomen. Tergites rather well sclerotised (Fig. 2C), without visible setae or modifications; cercus short.</p>
            <p>Male. Unknown.</p>
            <p>Etymology. The epithet refers to the type locality of the new species.</p>
            <p> Differential diagnosis. The new species differs from  Eodromyia pumilio primarily by the wing venation. In  E. rovnoensis sp. nov. , vein R 1 is longer, meeting costa beyond apex of cell br (Fig. 2B). In  E. pumilio , R 1 meets the costa before the apex of cell br (Myskowiak et al., 2018: fig. 2A). In addition,  E. rovnoensis sp. nov. has four scutellar setae (versus two in  E. pumilio ). </p>
            <p> Remarks.  Palaeosystenus succinorum (Meunier, 1907) (  Diptera :  Dolichopodidae ) is reported from Rovno amber for the first time (I.Ya. Grichanov, pers. comm.). </p>
            <p>Discussion</p>
            <p> The tribe  Drapetidini includes fossil representatives of six genera (14 species) (Solórzano Kraemer et al. 2005; Myskowiak et al. 2018; Greenwalt et al. 2019). However,  Eodromyia is the only extinct genus of this group. In addition,  Eodromyia is the oldest representative of the tribe because  E. pumilio was described from the Lower Eocene Oise amber in France (Sparnacian, lower Ypresian, 53 Ma) (Brasero et al., 2009; Myskowiak et al. 2018). Our record of the second species of  Eodromyia from the upper Eocene Rovno amber suggests that this genus existed at least over the entire Eocene period and it had a relatively broad distribution. </p>
            <p> The relationships of  Eodromyia within  Drapetidini are presently not evident.  Eodromyia could probably be associated with the primitive genera  Chaetodromia Chillcott and  Austrodromia Collin because of the presence of the postpronotal lobe on the thorax (plesiomorphic state) (Chillcott &amp; Teskey 1983). In addition, like  Austrodromia , both species of  Eodromyia possess a pair of upper orbital setae.  Austrodromia and  Chaetodromia are known from the Neotropical Realm (Chillcott &amp; Teskey 1983; Cumming &amp; Sinclair, 2009). Extant species (with one exception) of both genera are known from the mountains of Mexico and South America or south from Argentina and Chile, i.e. from the regions with mesothermal and microthermal climate (Chillcott &amp; Teskey 1983). One species of  Chaetodromia was described from Mexican amber (Solórzano Kraemer et al. 2005). </p>
            <p> The climate of the Oise amber forest was paratropical (Colombo et al. 2020), whereas the climate of the Rovno amber was equable (characterised by reduced thermal seasonity when compared with modern extra-tropical regions with similar MAT, see Archibald &amp; Farrell 2003). Thus, we could conclude that the species of  Eodromyia were cryophobic (Archibald et al. 2023; Jenkins Shaw et al. 2024). The absence of this genus in Baltic amber may indicate that the climate of the Baltic amber forest was not warm enough for this group. </p>
            <p> Eodromyia is the first plant or animal genus known only from Rovno and Oise ambers. However, this group is probably one of a number of cryophobic taxa of Rovno amber which are absent or poorly represented in Baltic amber (e.g., Baranov et al. 2016; Matalin et al. 2021; Anisyutkin et al. 2023; Belokobylskij et al. 2023; Nabozhenko &amp; Perkovsky 2023; Chemyreva et al. 2024a, 2024b; Mamontov et al. 2024). They may be evidence of a warmer climate in the Rovno amber forest compared to the Baltic, along with physical and chemical data (Mänd et al. 2018). Such taxa (depending on the group) are the main or very significant faunistic element that determines the differences between the Rovno and Baltic amber biotas (Colombo et al. 2021; Melnitsky et al. 2024a, 2024b). </p>
