Microphorinae
Microphorinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is part of an expanded concept of the family, Dolichopodidae ''sensu lato'', though it was previously considered a family of its own.

Microphor Holosericeus
''Microphor'' is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, subfamily Microphorinae. Species At least 16 extant species are described in the genus, with nine from the Palaearctic realm, one from the Oriental realm, and five from the Nearctic realm. Three fossil species have also been described. There are also several undescribed species from the sub-Mediterranean region of Europe and Turkey, and one undescribed species from the Neotropical realm. One species from the Australasian realm, '' Microphor hiemalis'', has also been described, but it does not appear to be cogeneric and may not belong in the subfamily Microphorinae. * '' Microphor anomalus'' ( Meigen, 1824) * '' Microphor bilineatus'' ( Melander, 1902) * '' Microphor crassipes'' Macquart, 1827 * †'' Microphor defunctus'' Handlirsch, 1910 * '' Microphor discalis'' Melander, 1940 * †'' Microphor eocenica'' (Meunier, 1902) * '' Microphor gissaricus'' Shamshev, 1992 * '' Microphor hiemalis'' White, 1916 * '' Microp ...

Avenaphora
''Avenaphora'' is an extinct genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is known from the Cretaceous of Lebanon and France. (PDF given is the manuscript version) ''Avenaphora'' is a Dolichopodidae ''sensu lato'' of uncertain affinities. It was originally placed in the subfamily Microphorinae by Grimaldi and Cumming in 1999, but the authors suggested that it could actually have a closer affinity with Parathalassiinae or Dolichopodidae ''sensu stricto''. A later article published in 2017 suggested that ''Avenaphora'' actually has more similarities to the Parathalassiinae than the Microphorinae or Dolichopodidae ''s.str.'', but the authors did not place the genus in the Parathalassiinae as it does not have clear synapomorphy with them. Species The genus contains two species: * †''Avenaphora gallica'' Nel, Garrouste & Daugeron, 2017 – Piolenc amber, France, Early Santonian * †''Avenaphora hispida'' Grimaldi & Cumming, 1999 – Lebanese amber, Barremian The Barremian is ...

Dolichopodidae
Dolichopodidae, the long-legged flies, are a large, cosmopolitan family of true flies with more than 7,000 described species in about 230 genera. The genus ''Dolichopus'' is the most speciose, with some 600 species. Dolichopodidae generally are small flies with large, prominent eyes and a metallic cast to their appearance, though there is considerable variation among the species. Most have long legs, though some do not. In many species, the males have unusually large genitalia which are taxonomically useful in identifying species. Most adults are predatory on other small animals, though some may scavenge or act as kleptoparasites of spiders or other predators. An expanded concept of the family (Dolichopodidae ''sensu lato'') includes the subfamilies Parathalassiinae and Microphorinae. The latter of these was formerly placed in the Empididae, and was at one time considered a separate family (Microphoridae). However, some authors propose instead that Dolichopodidae ''s.l.'' shou ...

Theodor Becker
Theodor Becker (23 June 1840 in Plön – 30 June 1928 in Liegnitz) was a Danish-born German civil engineer and entomologist primarily known for studies on the taxonomy of flies. He worked with Paul Stein, Mario Bezzi, and Kálmán Kertész Kálmán Kertész (2 January 1867 Prešov, Sáros County – 28 December 1922 Budapest) was a Hungarian entomologist mainly interested in Diptera. He was the director of the Zoological Department of the Hungarian National Museum in Budapest. ... on ''Katalog der Paläarktischen dipteren'' published in Budapest from 1903. Selected works *1902.

Cenomanian
The Cenomanian is, in the ICS' geological timescale, the oldest or earliest age of the Late Cretaceous Epoch or the lowest stage of the Upper Cretaceous Series. An age is a unit of geochronology; it is a unit of time; the stage is a unit in the stratigraphic column deposited during the corresponding age. Both age and stage bear the same name. As a unit of geologic time measure, the Cenomanian Age spans the time between 100.5 and 93.9 million years ago (Mya). In the geologic timescale, it is preceded by the Albian and is followed by the Turonian. The Upper Cenomanian starts around at 95 Mya. The Cenomanian is coeval with the Woodbinian of the regional timescale of the Gulf of Mexico and the early part of the Eaglefordian of the regional timescale of the East Coast of the United States. At the end of the Cenomanian, an anoxic event took place, called the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary event or the "Bonarelli event", that is associated with a minor extinction event for marine spec ...

Burmese Amber
Burmese amber, also known as Burmite or Kachin amber, is amber from the Hukawng Valley in northern Myanmar. The amber is dated to around 100 million years ago, during the latest Albian to earliest Cenomanian ages of the mid-Cretaceous period. The amber is of significant palaeontological interest due to the diversity of flora and fauna contained as inclusions, particularly arthropods including insects and arachnids but also birds, lizards, snakes, frogs and fragmentary dinosaur remains. The amber has been known and commercially exploited since the first century AD, and has been known to science since the mid-nineteenth century. Research on the deposit has attracted controversy due to its alleged role in funding internal conflict in Myanmar and hazardous working conditions in the mines where it is collected. Geological context, depositional environment and age The amber is found within the Hukawng Basin, a large Cretaceous-Cenozoic sedimentary basin within northern Myanmar. The s ...
