Zorotypus (Zorotypus) mnemosyne Engel sp. n. is represented by a female of the apterous,blind morph ("apteron") and can be readily distinguished from the only other Miocene zorapterans, Z. goeleti Engel & Grimaldi (winged morph) andZ. palaeus Poinar (apterous morph) in the terminal abdominal structure, theshape of the cerci, and the spination of the metafemora. Notes on the status of the recently described Jordanian amber (contemporaneous with Lebanese amber) zorapteran are provided and the genus Paleospinosus is synonymized with Octozoros Engel (new synonymy) resulting in the new combination Z. hudae (Kaddumi). In addition, the name "Z. confirmans Scheven"is considered a nomen nudum et invalidum. However, the taxon is distinct from other Dominican amber species and is therefore validated as Z. absonus Engel sp. n. and distinguished from other fossil zorapteransOpisani in prikazani so ostanki samice nove vrste zorapterjev (Polyneoptera: Anartioptera: Mystroptera: Zoraptera), ohranjeni v zgodnje miocenskem (burdigalijskem) jantarju iz Dominikanske republike. Vrsta Zorotypus (Zorotypus) mnemosyne Engel sp. n. je predstavljena s samico nekrilate, slepe oblike ("apteron") in jo lahko ločimo od edinih preostalih miocenskih zorapterjev, Z. goeleti Engel in Grimaldi (krilata oblika) in Z. palaeus Poinar (nekrilata oblika), po končnih zadkovih strukturah, obliki cerkov in bodicah na zadnjih stegnih. Podano je tudi mnenje o statusu pred kratkim opisanega zorapterja iz jordanskega jantarja (sočasen z libanonskim jantarjem), rod Paleospinosus pa je sinonimiziran s podrodom Octozoros Engel (nov sinonim). Posledica je nova kombinacija Z. hudae (Kaddumi). Poleg tega jeime "Z. confirmans Scheven" smatrano kot nomen nudum et invalidum. Vendar jetakson drugačen od drugih vrst iz dominikanskega jantarja in je poimenovan Z. absonus Engel sp. n. ter razlikovan od drugih fosilnih zorapterjevTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaPrirodoslovni muzej Slovenije
