A third species Burmapsyche wolframmeyi sp. nov. from the extinct family Burmapsychidae found in Burmese amber is described based on a male specimen. Burmapsyche wolframmeyi sp. nov. is distinguished from the two previously described Burmapsyche species, B. comosa and B. palpifurcata, by the presence of baso-laterally attached scale-like process of the pedicellus that is about as long as the pedicellus, and by the differently shaped inferior appendages each consisting of a broad and upright coxopodite and a finger-shaped harpago, both with same length.
