AbstractFirst record of the genus Helius—long-rostrum cranefly from Maestrazgo Basin (eastern Spain, Iberian Penisula) is documented. Two new fossil species of the genus Helius are described from Cretaceous Spanish amber and compared with other species of the genus known from fossil record with particular references to these known from Cretaceous period. Helius turolensis sp. nov. is described from San Just amber (Lower Cretaceous, upper Albian) Maestrazgo Basin, eastern Spain, and Helius hispanicus sp. nov. is described from Álava amber (Lower Cretaceous, upper Albian), Basque-Cantabrian Basin, northern Spain. The specific body morphology of representatives of the genus Helius preserved in Spanish amber was discussed in relation to the environmental conditions of the Maestrazgo Basin and Basque-Cantabrian Basin in Cretaceous.

Associated well-preserved, uncrushed skeletal remains, comprising the pelvic girdle, partial sacrum, both femora, and parts of the right tibia and fibula, from the Romualdo Member of the Lower Cretaceous Santana Formation of northeastern Brazil record the presence of a previously unknown coelurosaurian theropod dinosaur in that formation. The pelvic girdle is noteworthy for the bilaterally asymmetrical development of various bony features. The specimen also preserves a segment of lithified intestinal tract. While still in the matrix, the fossil preserved a vacuity behind the pubic apron that may indicate the existence of a postpubic air sac.
