Amarantoraphidia
''Amarantoraphidia'' is an extinct genus of snakefly in the family Mesoraphidiidae. The genus is solely known from Early Cretaceous, Albian age, fossil amber found in Spain. Currently the genus comprises only a single species ''Amarantoraphidia ventolina''.
==History and classification==
''Amarantoraphidia ventolina'' is known only from one fossil, the holotype, specimen number CES 364.1. The specimen is composed of a mostly complete adult insect with the wing tips missing. The apical third of the right hind-wing is also gone and the left front most leg has been disarticulated. The specimen is included in a piece of amber with plant debris and a number of other insects, such as a thysanopteran, hymenopterans. and dipterans. The fossil was recovered from outcrops of the Escucha Formation in Moraza, part of the Province of Burgos in Northern Spain.〔 ''Amarantoraphidia'' was first studied by group of paleoentomologists led by Ricardo Pérez-de la Fuente of the University of Barcelona and including Enrique Peñalver, Xavier Delclòs, and Michael S. Engel. Their 2012 type description of the new genus and species was published in the electronic journal ''ZooKeys''.〔 The genus name ''Amarantoraphidia'' was coined by the researchers as a combination of the snakefly genus ''Raphidia'' and the Greek ''amarantos'' meaning "ageless" or "that never fades". The specific epithet ''ventolina'' is a reference to the Cantabrian mythologies ventolines. These were said to be cheerful air beings with warm green wings which helped fishermen when summoned.〔 ''Amarantoraphidia ventolina'' is one of six described snakefly species found in the Albian deposits of Cantabria.〔
