Abstract
Limonia dillonae new species and Cheilotrichia (Empeda) cretacea new species are described and illustrated from specimens in amber from the Upper Cretaceous (Turonian, 90-94 million years ago) Raritan-Magothy Formation at Sayreville, New Jersey. The two species are the first crane flies characterized from these amber deposits and are compared with extant and fossil species. Limonia dillonae n. sp. and Cheilotrichia cretacea n. sp. are the oldest undisputed fossil specimens for these genera. A listing of the 15 orders and 45 families of insects and other organisms represented in this particular amber collection is given.
