Abstract

A new genus and species, Ordralfabetix sirophatanis, is described on the basis of a specimen from the Lowermost Oise amber, Paris Basin, France. It could be ascribed to the Sarebasa + group of Lophopidae in respect to tegmen venation characters, but differs from the genera placed there by significant tegmen features. The evolution and distribution pattern of fossil and recent Lophopidae are also reviewed.
