2. Genus SAMA, Giebel 
Sama. Giebel, Ins. d. Vorwelt, p. 238 fi856). 
Characters. — This Jurassic genus, because of its extremely long antennae, may be considered 
as belonging to the Macroceriiiae. if indeed it is a member of the Mycetophilidae at all. Of the wing venation 
nothing can be made out, hence the relationship is veiy doubtful. Head large, spherical; abdomen 
elongate, conical, pointed at the posterior end; legs very short and rather stout; wing short and very 
narrow.

Characters. — This is a homogeneous group characterized by the presence of a small closed 
cell (Rj) not far from the middle of the wing (PI. 2, Fig. 3). The M-Cu crossvein is absent, Ra+a
