Abstract
Plecia myersi n. sp. is described from remains found in Canadian Amber, of Upper Cretaceous age, from Cedar Lake, Manitoba. This specimen is the oldest positively identified fossil of the Bibionidae, and demonstrates the family existed in the Mesozoic Era in a form much like modern species.Keywords
