【 摘 要 】

A new genus, Medeterites gen. n. (Diptera: Dolichopodidae: Medeterinae) is described from Baltic amber with one included species, Medeterites molestus (Meunier, 1907) (Thrypticus), comb. n. The genus is similar to the genera of the subfamily Medeterinae, but having such plesiomorphic characters as big palpus, lack of acrostichals, legs devoid of long bristles, wing with long R1 and straight and subparallel R4+5 and M1+2, globular epandrium, big and rounded circus, etc. A key is compiled to all dolichopodid genera from Baltic amber with apical arista-like stylus.
