The genus <jats:italic>Plesioaxymyia<\/jats:italic> Sinclair, 2013 was first discovered in Alaska in 1962, but officially described only many years later. Up to now, the genus included one species <jats:italic>Plesioaxymyia vespertina<\/jats:italic> Sinclair, 2013, known from two female specimens from western North America. During the study of the Diptera fauna in Paanajarvi National Park (Northwest Russia), one female specimen of <jats:italic>Plesioaxymyia<\/jats:italic>, was found. It differs from the Nearctic <jats:italic>P. vespertina<\/jats:italic> by details of its female terminalia and is recognized as a new species, herein described as <jats:italic>Plesioaxymyia imprevista<\/jats:italic><jats:bold>sp. nov.<\/jats:bold> The biology and geographic distribution of <jats:italic>Plesioaxymyia<\/jats:italic> is briefly discussed. The phylogenetic position of the genus, along with the family Axymyiidae is analyzed in the light of new molecular data, including sequences of three mitochondrial (ribosomal 12S and 16S and protein-encoding COI) and three nuclear genes (ribosomal 18S and 28S, protein-encoding CAD) for 72 terminal taxa. Axymyiidae is recovered as a monophyletic group with closest relatives in the infraorder Culicomorpha and <jats:italic>Plesioaxymyia imprevista<\/jats:italic><jats:bold>sp. nov.<\/jats:bold> representing the sister taxon to all the other species of Axymyiidae included in the analysis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3897\/zookeys.1236.148218","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,5]],"date-time":"2025-05-05T15:41:06Z","timestamp":1746459666000},"page":"297-315","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["New species of Plesioaxymyia Sinclair (Diptera, Axymyiidae) from the Palaearctic Region, including an updated molecular phylogeny of the family"],"prefix":"10.3897","volume":"1236","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2932-9574","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Alexei","family":"Polevoi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Forest Research Institute, Petrozavodsk, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-0735-4411","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Nikola","family":"Burd\u00edkov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Ostrava, Ostrava, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7174-593X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Jan","family":"\u0160ev\u010d\u00edk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Ostrava, Ostrava, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2258","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"148218_B1","first-page":"129","article-title":"Can Townes type Malaise traps be improved?
