According to Bezark et al. (2018): “1. We did not examine any specimens of Dorcasta from Hispaniola. Therefore, it is not possible to know if there are differences between D. dasycera and D. gracilis based solely on the original descriptions and photographs of the holotypes; 2. According to Martins & Galileo (2001), when comparing D. singularis with D. gracilis, the outer elytral spines in D. gracilis are convergent. Although they appear that way in the holotype of D. gracilis, the feature is variable in D. dasycera, and the spines can be distinctly convergent as well, independent of the locality.” Now, we examined specimens from the Dominican Republic, and can confirm that D. gracilis is a junior synonym of D. dasycera, because there no differences between these specimens from the Dominican Republic and specimens from Venezuela. For complete references on the three synonyms see Monné (2020b) and Tavakilian and Chevillotte (2019).

Tortricites skalskii

description: Tortricites skalskii Kozlov, 1988
Excavation locality and depository: The specimen was described from the PIRAS, Moscow, but in a recent search was not found in the PIRAS collection (Prof. A. Rasnitsyn, pers. comm.). Holotype: PIN 964/659; PT: PIN 964/660)/ Baltic Region (Baltic Amber, Prussian Fm.)/ Lutetian, Middle Eocene. The re-assessment is based on the information and illustrations in Kozlov (1988) [original description in Russian].
Published illustrations: Kozlov 1988: 38, fig. 9 (drawing).
Condition: The fossil (holotype) is in two fragments. Adult moth with head, partial body and wings. The forewing length is 6 mm.
Comments: A drawing of the holotype is presented by Kozlov (1988), but some of the information given in the description comes from a fragment of the holotype not included in the drawing. Labial palpi are said to be short and tightly pressed to the head. The long haustellum is coiled into a spiral. The antennae extend beyond the middle of the forewings. The venation in the forewing and hindwing is complete and veins are separate beyond the discal cell. In the forewing, the vein that defines the distal end of the cell is rather narrow; and the bases of M 2, M 3, and CuA 1 are very close together. In the hindwings, Sc ends near the apex of the wing, and R extends to the apex; M 3 and CuA 1 are close together at the base.
Based on the characters that can be observed, in particular the wing venation, the fossil most likely belongs to Tortricidae. The tribal assignment to Grapholitini (formerly Laspeyresiini) is also possible based on the short labial palpi appressed to the face, which are found in very few other tortricids.

Tortricibaltia diakonoffi

description: Tortricibaltia diakonoffi Skalski, 1992
Excavation locality and depository: Skalski (1992) reported the FMNH Chicago as the depository of this fossil (Holotype: LEP.SUCC.49 NHMC/AWS/ Baltic Region (Baltic Amber, Prussian Fm.)/Lutetian, Middle Eocene). However, it was not found in the inventory by the FMNH entomology collection manager Crystal Maier and MH. The re-assessment is based on information in Skalski (1992).
Published illustrations: Skalski 1992: 140, figs 1–5 (photographs and drawings).
Condition: According to Skalski (1992), this amber fossil is 10 × 13 × 3 mm and mounted on a microscope slide. It is a male moth with the head, thorax (with legs), one pair of wings and the abdomen preserved. The forewing length is 5.0 mm.
Comments: Tortricibaltia diakonoffi was first mentioned in Skalski (1976) without a description; hence, it was originally a nomen nudum. Skalski (1992) subsequently validated the taxon with a description. The wing venation is typical of Tortricidae, and the genitalia have a slender uncus and elongate valvae, consistent with its assignment to Tortricidae.
By mistake, Tortricibaltia diakonoffi was placed under Olethreutinae in Sohn et al. (2012) (Prof. J.-C. Sohn, pers. comm.). Subsequently, in the divergence time analysis by Fagua et al. (2017) this fossil was used to give a minimum age to Olethreutinae. To support this placement, Fagua et al. (2017) mention “the presence of forewing veins M-stem and stem of R4+5”. Although these authors acknowledge that this is a plesiomorphic trait among extant Tortricidae, they mention that it is found almost exclusively in Olethreutinae. However, in the absence of other characters, we consider the evidence weak. In addition, the presence of a well developed CuP is somewhat troublesome. According to Horak (2006: 25), in Olethreutinae the cubitus posterior (CuP) is present with very few exceptions near the wing margin but never as a fully developed vein. In its reduced form, it is usually present, although it is absent altogether in Cochylini (Horak 1998: 199). Because the reported characters of the fossil do not include apomorphies or character combinations that would unambiguously place it reliably in any of the tortricid subfamilies or tribes, we find its use it as a calibration point to give a minimum age to Olethreutinae unfounded. Regardless of its tribal and/or subfamilial assignment, this fossil appears to be a tortricid.

Collection data and depository: AMNH, New York (Holotype: DR8-43)/ Dominican Republic: Cordillera Septentrional between Santiago and Puerto Plata, La Toca group of mines (Dominican Amber, La Toca Fm.)/ Burdigalian, Early Miocene. The specimen was borrowed and examined at the USNM.
Published illustrations: Grimaldi & Engel 2005: 580, fig. 13: 47 (photograph).
Condition: The piece of amber is elliptical in shape (45 × 23 × 7 mm). The fossil is a female moth with an intact head (although the right antenna is broken) with most of the mouthparts visible, and the left hind wing is nicely spread allowing the examination of both the fore- and hindwing venation. A mite is attached to its left compound eye.

description: Idanotermitinae Engel, subfam. nov.
Type genus. Idanotermes Engel, 2008.
Diagnosis. Imago: Mastotermitids most notable for lacking ocelli, but otherwise encompassing the following additional features more typical of the family: fontanelle absent; occipital carina present; lateral cervical sclerites present but ventral cervical sclerite absent; procoxal ventral carina present; tarsi pentamerous. The genus Anisotermes Zhao et al., 2019 perhaps belongs within this group or basal among Mastotermitinae, although other characters are suggestive of a Meiatermes -grade taxon but these are likely plesiomorphies (Zhao et al., 2019).

Melqartitermitidae

description: Melqartitermitidae Engel, fam. nov.
Type genus. Melqartitermes Engel et al., 2007.
Diagnosis. The Melqartitermitidae are a peculiar Early Cretaceous group of primitive termites. Like Mastotermitidae and some other basal families, melqartitermitids have wholly pentamerous tarsi and a large flat pronotum. However, unlike Mastotermitidae the hind wing lacks an anal lobe and ocelli are lacking (absent in Mastotermitinae). Unlike Archotermopsidae a subsidiary tooth is present and the radial field is narrow, closer in form to that of Stolotermitidae (but this family has tetramerous tarsi, lacks a subsidiary tooth, and has a smaller pronotum). Like Mastotermitidae and other early diverging families, Melqartitermitidae have a large forewing scale with all primary veins originating within the scale. Aside from its unique combination of traits, the family differs from others in the primitive retention of a ventral cervical sclerite. In this respect it resembles Mylacrotermitidae Engel, fam. nov. (vide infra), from which it differs in the presence of a defined forewing basal suture.

Mylacrotermitidae

description: Mylacrotermitidae Engel, fam. nov.
Type genus. Mylacrotermes Engel et al., 2007.
Diagnosis. The Mylacrotermitidae share with Melqartitermitidae Engel, fam. nov. the presence of ventral cervical sclerite, the absence of ocelli, a large pronotum, wholly pentamerous tarsi, and a large forewing scale (vide supra), but are unique among termites in the absence of a defined forewing basal suture demarcating the scale. Instead, the forewing is gnawed off like the hind wing in Mastotermitidae and some other extinct families where the chew marks and rough edge can be observed where the hind wing is removed.

Krishnatermitidae

description: Krishnatermitidae Engel, fam. nov.
Type genus. Krishnatermes Engel et al., 2016.
Diagnosis. Krishnatermitidae are seemingly intermediate in divergence between other basal Euisoptera and Mastotermitidae (Engel et al., 2009, 2016), particularly owing to the lack of a hind wing basal suture (i. e., without defined hind wing scale, a trait otherwise found in all other Euisoptera), symplesiomorphically shared with mastotermitids. They also share the primitive features of a broad pronotum, procoxal ventral carina/keel, wholly pentamerous tarsi, a large forewing scale with all primary veins originating within the scale, and the forewing with multiple elongate radial veins encompassing a uniformly wide radial field. Krishnatermitidae differ from in the absence of ocelli (present in Mastotermitinae), presence of a subsidiary tooth (absent in Mastotermitidae, present in Archotermopsidae), shorter antennae with 14–18 antennomeres (20–32 in Mastotermitidae), absence of an occipital sulcus (present in Mastotermitidae as well as Ithytermes Sánchez-García et al., 2020), forewing M sclerotized as CuA rather than Rs (M sclerotized as Rs rather than CuA in Mastotermitidae), hind wing without anal lobe (present in Mastotermitidae), and reduced number of cercomeres, with 2–3 cercomeres (five in Mastotermitidae and Ithytermes). Additional traits are summarized by Engel et al. (2016). Krishnatermitidae lack a ventral cervical sclerite and fontanelle.
The family presently includes only Krishnatermes and quite likely Ithytermes, although several other poorly known Cretaceous genera could potentially belong here.

Arceotermitidae

description: Arceotermitidae Engel, fam. nov.
Type genus. Arceotermes Engel & Jiang, gen. nov.
Diagnosis. The soldiers of this group can be distinguished from those of Mastotermitidae and Archotermopsidae by the tetramerous tarsi,smaller number of antennal articles (less than 20 articles), and absence of compound eyes (although still present and reduced in Cosmotermitinae Engel, subfam. nov., vide infra) (Figs 5, 6). The head is not dorsoventrally compressed like the soldier heads of Stolotermitidae (particularly Stolotermes Hagen,1858).Like Mastotermitidae, the pronotum is about as wide as the head capsule, while in Archotermopsidae, Hodotermitidae, and Stolotermitidae it is narrower than the head capsule. Unlike Stolotermitidae, the right marginal teeth are broad, with the second marginal tooth possessing a distinct gnathal edge (Fig. 6). The right apical tooth has a distinct constriction at its base (not merely an indentation along the outer margin but there is an actual narrowing of the mandibular diameter where the right apical tooth arises: Fig. 6). A subsidiary tooth is absent. Further distinguished from Stolotermitidae by the deeply incised mandibular teeth (rather than shallowly incised). Like Archotermopsidae and Stolotermitidae the pronotum is flat, and not weakly saddle-shaped as in Hodotermitidae. The tibiae lack prominent lateral spines (although there are some minute, outer, peg-like setae in Arceotermes), as are present in Archotermopsidae. Refer to Krishna et al. (2013) for an account of basal termite families and additional characters.

Type genus. Cosmotermes Zhao et al., 2020.
Diagnosis. In the soldier caste these termites can be distinguished most notable from Arceotermitinae by the presence of compound eyes, albeit reduced; the narrower pronotum; and the in the left mandible the posterior margin of left marginal tooth is shorter than or equal to the anterior margin of the second marginal tooth (the posterior margin of the left marginal tooth is longer than the anterior margin of the second marginal tooth in Arceotermes: Fig. 6). Unlike Stolotermitidae, the basal suture in alates of Cosmotermes is convex rather than straight and diagonal.

Otherwise typical for Archotermopsidae in presence of cryptically pentamerous tarsi (i. e., second tarsomere reduced and obscured from above giving the false impression of tetramerous tarsi from some angles) and right mandible of image with a subsidiary tooth present at base of anterior margin of first marginal tooth (i. e., between apical tooth and first marginal tooth). While Archotermopsinae tend to have one poorly distinguished inferior branch of Rs apically that parallels the main Rs branch to or just posterior to the wing apex, in Hodotermopsis there may be at times two inferior branches of Rs (Hodotermitidae have more developed, striking straight parallel inferior branches that strike toward the posterior margin (Engel et al., 2009; Krishna et al., 2013).
Repeated studies demonstrate the distinctiveness of Hodotermopsis (Bourguignon et al., 2015; Buček et al., 2019). It may be warranted to elevate the rank of this group but given the contradictory placements of several Teletisoptera in recent phylogenetic estimates (Bourguignon et al., 2015; Legendre et al., 2015; Engel et al., 2016; Buček et al., 2019), we are hesitant to make any further refinements to the classification beyond noting the special placement of the genus.

description: Minorder Artisoptera Engel, nov.
This group includes Tanytermitidae and Icoisoptera (= Kalotermitidae + Neoisoptera) (Engel et al., 2009). Species of this group are quite heterogeneous for most characters, with several reversals in Neoisoptera. Nonetheless, in the groundplan the number of cercomeres is reduced, CuP in the forewing scale termites within the scale rather than on the sutural margin (notably reversed several times in the clade), and the imago pronotal lateral margins are typically subparallel. It remains uncertain whether genera such as Dharmatermes Engel et al., 2007 or Baissatermes Engel et al., 2007 should be included within this group.

(Figs 1B, D, 7)
Holotype. Holotype alate, NIGP174707. In mid- Cretaceous amber from Kachin Province, northern Myanmar. Deposited in the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanjing, China.
Etymology. The specific epithet is taken from the Greek term ΦΙΛέταΙΡΟΣ (philetairos) [composed of ΦῘÌΛΟΣ (phílos), meaning, “beloved”, and ἑταῖΡΟΣ (hetaîros), meaning, “friend”), and refers to the relationship between these termites and their inquilines.
Diagnosis. As for the genus (vide supra).
Description. Imago: Total body length (as preserved) 5.28 mm; length of head to apex of labrum 1.12 mm; head width 0.68 mm; compound eye diameter 0.22 mm; distance from compound eye to posterior margin 0.36 mm; pronotal medial length 0.50 mm; pronotal width 0.87 mm; metatibial length 0.58 mm; length of forewing with scale 6.72 mm; forewing width 2.24 mm. Integument dark brown, microsculpturing of head finely imbricate. Setation of head and body sparse; setae not evident on pronotum. Rs with four simple branches, Rs terminating before wing apex; M with four main branches, M terminating at wing apex, basalmost branch terminating at apical quarter of posterior wing margin; CuA pectinately branched, with at least four simple branches (remainder of CuA obscured in holotype), cubital field occupying majority of posterior wing margin.
