Abstract

A new genus and a new species of Lygistorrhinidae, Parisognoristeeocenica is described from the Eocene Oise amber of the Paris Basin. Parisognoristesciariforme Meunier, 1904 and Parisognoristeaffine Meunier, 1912 are re-described. Lectotypes are designated for both species of Palaeognoriste. The phylogenetic positions of the new genus and Palaeognoriste Meunier are discussed. The paper is an example demonstrating a new approach in cybertaxonomy including automatic generation of manuscript within Virtual Research Environment (Scratchpads), semantic enhancements, and parallel release of the publication on paper and on-line accompanied with registration of new taxa with ZooBank.

Keywords: Eocene; fossil resin; new taxa; phylogeny; taxonomy.
