Abstract
Two new species of Diptera Mycetophilidae are described based on two imagos found in the Lower Cretaceous La Cabrua fossil-site (Montsec Range, Lleida Province, Spain). One belongs to the genus Palaeodocosia described from Ba ltic amber and known from Recent Fauna, and the other, to a recent genus Sy napha. Palaeodocosia cabruae sp. nov. and Synapha rubiesensis sp. nov. are the first described and named dipteran adult specimens from the Mesozoic co mpression fossil-sites of Spain.
