首次报道了印度早始新世Cambay琥珀中的摇蚊科动物群化石。该化石组合包括5个亚科的192个标本。坎贝琥珀中的摇蚊科代表了一种动物群，其化石记录中的组成与多米尼加琥珀最相似，除了坎贝琥珀中存在Podonominae。从Cambay琥珀中记录的摇蚊科属表明存在淡水栖息地和站立的水体以及泉水。从Cambay琥珀中纳入其他双翅目类群增加了Cambay琥珀森林中多样化水生和半水生栖息地的证据，并意味着化石来自广泛的不同的局部分离地区。
A fossil fauna of Chironomidae in early Eocene Cambay amber from India is reported for the first time. The fossil assemblage consists of 192 specimens from five subfamilies. Chironomidae from Cambay amber represent a fauna whose composition in the fossil record is most similar to Dominican amber, with the exception of the presence of Podonominae in Cambay amber. Chironomidae genera recorded from Cambay amber indicate the presence of freshwater habitats and standing water bodies as well as springs. Incorporation of other dipteran groups from Cambay amber adds evidence of diverse aquatic and semi-aquatic habitats in the Cambay amber forest and implies entrapment of the fossils from a wide range of different locally separated areas.
