Source-derived summary

Leptoconops myanmaricus is an extinct species of biting midges belonging to the family Ceratopogonidae. This species was described from fossilized remains preserved in Burmese amber from the Cenomanian. The amber containing the fossil was mined in the Hukawng Valley, Myanmar.

The species name refers to Myanmar, the name of the country where the amber was found.

Editorial summary

“Leptoconops myanmaricus” enters the record as extinct species of fly. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Leptoconops, myanmaricus and extinct can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewUseful for establishing the present vocabulary of the subject while preserving a route back to the evidence on which that vocabulary rests. The current 56-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Leptoconops, myanmaricus and extinct.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Leptoconops myanmaricus” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Leptoconops, myanmaricus and extinct provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q30326299. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
