TLDR
A new genus and species of moths is described from mid-Cretaceous Myanmar amber, Tanyglossus orectometopus, which represents the first fossil member of this family Douglasiidae and adds to the scant knowledge of the diversity of Mesozoic Glossata.Abstract:
A new genus and species of moths, Tanyglossus orectometopus n. gen. et sp. (Lepidoptera: Gracillarioidea), is described from mid-Cretaceous Myanmar amber. Autapomorphies for the new genus a...read more

New taxa of extant and fossil primitive moths in South-East Asia and their biogeographic significance (Lepidoptera, Micropterigidae, Agathiphagidae, Lophocoronidae)
TL;DR: The discovery of these new species suggests a broader ancestral range of Aureopterix, Agathiphagidae and Lophocoronidae, and the disjunct ranges of these taxa are discussed in a historical biogeographic context.

A new micropterigid moth from the mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber (Insecta: Lepidoptera)
TL;DR: The new fossil species does not belong to the same group than the three previously micropterigid species from the same amber, suggesting that the genus Sabatinca diversified earlier than 100 Ma, well before the recently proposed date of 80 Ma.
