Mesozoic Eoptychopteridae are divided into three subfamilies. The Jurassic family Ansorgiidae is transferred into Blephariceroidea; Triassic Alinkidae is provisionally assigned to Pachyneuroidea. The most primitive dipterans, Vladipteridae, are placed in Tipulomorpha. The radiation of Nematocera is discussed (original phylochronogram and modified system given); some infraordinal concepts are criticized. The origin of Diptera from Permian Mecoptera similar to Robinjohniidae is suggested; it{\textquoteright}s hypothesized that the dipteran wing structure was formed mainly due to transfer of mecopteran hindwing characters onto the forewing. },

The compressions are from the Upper Jurassic of Shar-Teg, Mongolia and Lower Cretaceous of Baissa, Transbaikal, with a new species, Archizelmira baissa, from Baissa. Particularly significant are three finely preserved new species and genera in ambers from the Cretaceous Period: Zelmiarcha lebanensis (Lebanon: Lower Aptian), Archimelzira americana (New Jersey: Turonian), and Burmazelmira aristica (Burma [Myanmar]: mid-Cretaceous). The latter two species interestingly possess stylate antennae, those of Burmazelmira being the only aristate antennae in the order Diptera outside the suborder Brachycera. A cladogram is presented for the relationships among archizelmirid species, cladistic rank of which correlates with stratigraphic age. Transformation series of the antennal flagellum in Archizelmiridae corresponds with one recently hypothesized for the Brachycera, wherein the style and arista are derived from the apical flagellomere(s). The family appears to be a member of the extant group Sciaroidea, which includes fungus gnats and gall midges, though precise relationships remain unclear.},

	abstract = {The Recent world fauna of Sciaroidea, or fungus gnats, comprises approximately 4000 described species in eight families: Bolitophilidae, Cecidomyiidae, Diadocidiidae, Ditomyiidae, Keroplatidae, Lygistorrhinidae, Mycetophilidae, and Sciaridae. Larvae live primarily in decaying vegetation, feeding on fungal mycelia, and they can be among the most abundant insects of temperate forests. Stem-group families appeared in the Jurassic, with large Tertiary deposits being composed almost entirely of living genera, so the Cretaceous is essential for understanding the origins and diversification of Recent families. Sixty-six specimens were studied from six major deposits of Cretaceous amber, spanning 40 million years from the Early to Late Cretaceous: Lebanon (ca. 125 Ma), northern Spain (120 Ma), northern Myanmar (Burma) (ca. 105 Ma), northern Siberia (two sites, 105 and 87 Ma), New Jersey (90 Ma), and western Canada (80 Ma). New taxa are the following: Docidiadia burmitica (n.gen., n.sp.) (Diadocidiidae); Thereotricha sibirica, (?)T. agapa (n.gen., n.spp.) (Sciaroidea incertae sedis); Archaeognoriste primitiva, Lebanognoriste prima, Plesiognoriste carpenteri, P. zherikhini, Protognoriste amplicauda, P. goeleti, P. nascifoa, Leptognoriste davisi, L. microstoma (n.gen., n.spp.) (Lygistorrhinidae). In Mycetophilidae sensu stricto: Alavamanota burmitina, n.sp. (Manotinae), Neuratelia maimecha, n.sp., Allocotocera burmitica, n.sp., Pseudomanota perplexa, n.gen., n.sp.

(Sciophilinae Leiini). Relationships of the fossil genera are phylogenetically assessed with living genera. The Burmese amber fauna contains an inordinate abundance and diversity of sciaroids, perhaps because of a wetter paleoclimate in that region.},

	abstract = {The most diverse and best-preserved early fauna of flies (order Diptera) is described from the Late Carnian (Late Triassic, ca. 220 Ma) of Virginia, USA. Complete flies are preserved as aluminosilicate films on very fine-grained shales from the Cow Branch Formation, which is part of the Newark Supergroup of Early Mesozoic rift basins from eastern North America. The dipteran fauna consists of eight families (one new), 11 genera (five new), and 16 species (11 new), and includes the following taxa (Blagoderov and Grimaldi are the authors of all new names): Architipula youngi Krzemi{\'n}ski, Metarchilimonia krzeminskorum n.gen., n.sp., and M. solita n.sp. (Limoniidae); Triassopsychoda olseni n.gen., n.sp.

(Prosechamyiidae, new family). Particularly significant is a culicomorphan with a long proboscis, which is the earliest fossil record of a structure specialized apparently for blood feeding. Also, Prosechamyia appears to be a stem group to the very diverse infraorder Brachycera, the earliest definitive members of which appear in the Early Jurassic. Phylogenetic relationships of major clades of living and extinct nematocerous Diptera are analyzed, indicating that infraordinal-level diversification was complete by the Late Triassic. Flies did not reach modern levels of ecological abundance until the mid-Jurassic, apparently due to diversification within most infraorders by that time.},

The cladistic analysis of 60 morphological characters from the adults of 27 (extant) or 29 (extant and fossil) ingroup species and one outgroup species produced three shortest cladograms. In the analysis excluding the fossils, the most parsimonious solution confirmed the monophyly of the Manotinae sensu TUOMIKOSKI. In the cladograms obtained by analysing the extant and fossil taxa together, one fossil species, Alavamanota burmitina BLAGODEROV \& GRIMALDI, appeared as the sister-group of Manota WILLISTON, whereas the other fossil, Alavamanota hispanica BLAGODEROV \& ARILLO, was placed outside the Manotinae clade. In both analyses, the genus Procycloneura ENDERLEIN, traditionally classified in the Leiini, appeared as the sister-group of the Manotinae. Unlike the Manotinae, the genera of the Leiini sensu EDWARDS analysed here did not form a monophyletic group. The Leiini appear to be highly polyphyletic, and our results thus confirm the doubts of many previous authors concerning the monophyly of this tribe. Five new species from the Oriental region are described: Eumanota hilleviae spec. nov., E. kambaiti spec. nov., Paramanota awanensis spec. nov., P. peninsulae spec. nov. and P. sumatrana spec. nov.
