860E8783FF94FFBDFF79BFBCAA063A8B.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The species is named brachypterus, because of the very short wings (from the Greek words brachy - (= short) and - pteron (= wing )).	en	OLMI, MASSIMO, GUGLIELMINO, ADALGISA, MÜLLER, PATRICK, CAPRADOSSI, LEONARDO, PERKOVSKY, EVGENY E.

860E8783FF97FFBDFF79BAAAA8C83CCA.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The species is named micropterus, because of the very reduced wings (from the Greek words mikrós - (= short) and - pteron (= wing )).	en	OLMI, MASSIMO, GUGLIELMINO, ADALGISA, MÜLLER, PATRICK, CAPRADOSSI, LEONARDO, PERKOVSKY, EVGENY E.

Palpi not visible. Mesosoma about as long as metasoma, about twice as long as head (39: 20), almost completely darkened, so that morphological characters of pronotum, mesoscutum, mesoscutellum, metanotum, mesopleuron, metapleuron and metapectal-propodeal complex are not completely visible.

860E8783FF97FFBDFF79BAAAA8C83CCA.taxon	discussion	Remarks. It is possible that E. brachypterus and E. micropterus are the opposite sex of one of the species described by males. The extreme sexual dimorphism of the Embolemidae prevents the association of the opposite sexes based on the morphology. This explains why in extant Embolemidae eight species are known only by females and 21 by males. Males and females of extant species can be associated by rearing or DNA analysis. Of course, these methods are not feasible to apply to species in amber. This difficulty results in two separate keys for females and males of Embolemidae. Another consequence of this situation is that it is possible that species based on males are really the opposite sexes of species based on females.	en	OLMI, MASSIMO, GUGLIELMINO, ADALGISA, MÜLLER, PATRICK, CAPRADOSSI, LEONARDO, PERKOVSKY, EVGENY E.
