Summary: | International audience A new fossil wasp belonging to the extinct evaniomorphan family Maimetshidae is described from Santonian amber of Yantardakh, in the Taimyr Peninsula, northern Siberia. Iberomaimetsha pallida sp. nov. is represented by a single female and is distinguished from the other two species of the genus most notably in its wing venation. A modified key to the world Maimetshidae is proposed to include the new species. Une nouvelle guêpe fossile appartenant aux Maimetshidae, une famille éteinte d’Evaniomorphes, est décrite de l’ambre santonien de Yantardakh, dans la Péninsule du Taimyr, en Sibérie du Nord. Iberomaimetsha pallida sp. nov. est représentée par une unique femelle et se distingue essentiellement des deux autres espèces du genre par sa nervation alaire. Une clé modifiée des Maimetshidae du monde est proposée pour inclure cette nouvelle espèce. |
