Family Raphidiidae 
Genus Raphidia Linn. 
This genus is now restricted, as far as is known, to the 
Old World, but it is well represented in Miocene deposits of 
Colorado (Carpenter, 1936). 
Raphidia baltica, new species 
Figure 1 
Fore wing: length, 9 mm.; width, 2.5 mm.; costal space 
narrow, with only 5 crossveins (in type) ; pterostigma nar- 
row. Hind wing: length, 8 mm.; width, 2.5 mm. Venational 
details are shown in the figure. Prothorax 2 mm. long, bi- 
colored ; body in general dark brown. 
Figure 1. Raphidia haltica, n. sp. Fore and hind wings drawn from 
holotype, No. 5122, MCZ. 
Holotype: No. 5122, in Baltic Amber Collection, Museum 
of Comparative Zoology. This is a complete female, in a 
somewhat distorted position, with the tip of the right fore 
wing broken away. This species is a typical Raphidia , as 
shown by the venational pattern, especially the nature of 
the basal piece of MA in the hind wing (see Carpenter, 
1936). It is similar to several living species in its general 
appearance.
