Abstract A new genus and species, Archmosaicus comitatus Zhang, Deng et Ren gen. et sp. nov., assigned to the family Micropterigidae, is described based on three well-preserved specimens from the mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. It is established mainly based on antennal scape and pedicel greatly swollen, scape with a strong indentation on mesal surface, forewing with veins Sc and R deeply forked, and hind wing without free R. The minor differences on these three specimens could be attributable to either individual variation or sexual dimorphism.
