Abstract
The description of a new species of the genus Dicranomyia Stephens, 1829 (Diptera: Limoniidae) from Baltic amber (Eocene) is presented. The morphological features of the newly described species Dicranomyia herczeki Krzemiński & Kania sp. nov. indicate that this new species probably belongs to the subgenus Sivalimnobia Alexander, 1963 and it is its first representative in Baltic amber and among fossil taxa of Dicranomyia.
