contents The oldest lagonomegopid spider, a new species in Lower Cretaceous amber from Álava, Spain D. Penney Ciencias de la Tierra Araneae Taxonomy Arachnida Palaeontology Lagonomegopidae The new species Burlagonomegops alavensis (Araneae: Lagonomegopidae) is described from Lower Cretaceous(Aptian) amber from Álava (Basque Country), Spain. This is the first fossil spider to be described from this depositand extends the known geological range of this family by approximately 15–20 Ma, from the previously oldestdescribed lagonomegopid in Burmese amber. Given the broad geographic range of this family in the Cretaceousand their absence in Tertiary fossil resins, the global extinction of this family is enigmatic. In contrast to other spiderfamilies, it may be that the end-Cretaceous extinction event did have an effect on this strictly fossil family. 2006 artículo científico 1695-6133 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=50540304 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=505 Geologica Acta: an international earth science journal application/pdf Universitat de Barcelona Geologica Acta: an international earth science journal (España) Num.3 Vol.4
