Biology:Burmaculex
From HandWiki
Burmaculex is an extinct monotypic genus of mosquito found fossilised in Burmese amber dating from the Cretaceous period, believed to date from 95 million years ago.[1] The genus and species were described in 2004 by Art Borkent and David A. Grimaldi.[2]
Cladogram after Azar et al. (2023),[3] although Libanoculex is later confirmed as member of Chaoboridae and not a mosquito.[4]
