Abstract
Cyttaromyia rayona n. sp. andCylindrotoma biamoensis n. sp. are described from limnic deposits of probably Oligocène age of Bolshaya Svetlovodnaya. Both belong to the rarely preserved tipulomorph family Cylindrotomidae and are the first fossil representatives of cylindrotomids from Asia.
Kurzfassung
Cyttaromyia rayona n. sp. undCylindrotoma biamoensis n. sp. werden aus limni-schen Ablagerungen wahrscheinlich oligozänen Alters von Bolshaya Svetlovodnaya beschrieben. Beide Fossilien gehören einer Teilgruppe der Tipulomorpha an, die nur selten überliefert ist - den Cylindrotomidae. Zugleich sind sie die ersten fossilen Nachweise der Cylindrotomiden auf dem asiatischen Kontinent.
