Abstract:

The genus Antlemon LOEW, 1871, containing keroplatid fungus gnats with a strongly elongated proboscis, is recorded from Baltic amber for the first time. The single female specimen found in amber from the Bitterfeld deposits is described and figured, but is not named. Fungus gnat inclusions described by MEUNIER as species of Asindulum LATREILLE, 1805 belong to neither Asindulum nor Antlemon and must be assigned to other genera.
