Leptoconops amplificatus is an extinct species of biting midge belonging to the family Ceratopogonidae.
This species was described from fossilized remains preserved in Lower Cretaceous amber from Lebanon.
[1] The species name amplificatus (enlarged, extended) was given in reference to the presence of 13 flagellomeres in the female antennae.
L. amplificatus is the only species of Ceratopogonidae to possess this many antennal flagellomeres as well as an elongate, slender cercus.
