Elephantomyia pulchella

''Elephantomyia (Elephantomyia) pulchella'' is an extinct species of crane fly in the family Limoniidae. The species is solely known from the Middle EoceneBaltic amber deposits in the Baltic Sea region of Europe. The species is one of six described from Baltic amber.
==History and classification==
''Elephantomyia (Elephantomyia) pulchella'' is known from the holotype specimen, collection number MB.J.336, along with two further adults which are preserved as inclusions in transparent Baltic amber. As of 2015, the holotype specimen was included in the collections of the Natural History Museum Humboldt University, while another was housed at the Polish Academy of Sciences, and the last resided in a private collection.〔 Baltic amber is recovered from fossil bearing rocks in the Baltic Sea region of Europe. Estimates of the age date between 37 million years old, for the youngest sediments and 48 million years old. This age range straddles the middle Eocene, ranging from near the beginning of the Lutetian to the beginning of the Pribonian.
''E. pulchella'' is one of six crane fly species in the genus ''Elephantomyia'' described from the Baltic amber, the others being ''E. baltica'', ''E. bozenae'', ''E. brevipalpa'', ''E. irinae'', and ''E. longirostris''.〔 All six species are placed into the ''Elephantomyia'' subgenus ''Elephantomyia'' based on the lack of tibial spurs and by several aspects of the wing morphology.

The fossil was first studied by entomologist Hermann Loew of the Germany, with his type description of the new species being published in 1851 as ''Toxorhina pulchella'', though he published the nomen nudum name a year earlier. The species was moved to the genus ''Limnobiorhynchus'' in 1860 by Carl Robert Osten-Sacken, and later moved by Osten-Sacken again, this time to the genus ''Elephantomyia''. The fossils were reexamined and the species redescribed in 2015 by paleoentomologist Iwona Kania of the University of Rzeszów, who examined the holotype and the two additional specimens.〔
