Abstract

Morgea freidbergi new species, a living sister-species of the fossil species M. mcalpinei Hennig from Baltic amber (Oligocene), is described and compared with its fossil counterpart. Additional characters are given for Morgea Hennig and its placement in Pallopteridae rather than Lonchaeidae is confirmed. A key to the world genera of Pallopteridae is presented for the first time.

Résumé

L’auteur décrit la nouvelle espèce Morgea freidbergi, espèce-soeur vivante du fossile M. mcalpinei Hennig de l’ambre baltique (Oligocène), et la compare à ce fossile. Il présente d’autres caractères pour Morgea Hennig et confirme son classement dans les Pallopteridae plutôt que dans les Lonchaeidae. L’article donne pour la première fois une clef des genres mondialement répandus de Pallopteridae.
