We are honored to present this special issue of Palaeoentomology in celebration of our dear friend, mentor, and collaborator, David A. Grimaldi (Fig. 1), and on the occasion of his 65th birthday on 22 September 2022. This issue has been compiled in recognition of David’s remarkable ongoing impact on the fields of paleontology, entomology, and evolutionary biology. Throughout his career David has worn an inspirational path across disciplines as an exceptional, thoughtful, and creative scientist. His body of work is vast, punctuated by long-lasting classics that are international in scale and recognition. David is a world authority in multiple arenas; his well-earned expertise ranges from the fossil record and evolutionary history of insects beginning 400 million years ago in the Devonian to the systematics and morphology of notoriously complex drosophilids at the species level. His contributions have helped shape modern palaeoentomology. We are grateful for David’s work and fellowship and look forward to his continued accomplishments.

The family Ipsviciidae, originally described from the Upper Triassic of Australia and considered an offshoot of the Scytinopteridae (Tillyard, 1919), was later variously assigned to Heteroptera, Coleorrhyncha, Fulgoroidea, or Cicadomorpha (Cercopoidea or its own superfamily) by different authors (see Lambkin, 2020). Shcherbakov (1984) placed Ipsviciidae in the Scytinopteroidea and demonstrated that this superfamily is ancestral to Heteroptera (Shcherbakov, 1996). The family comprises several genera known from the Triassic and Lower Jurassic of Australia and Eurasia (Lambkin, 2020). A peculiar monotypic genus of Ipsviciidae with a strigil (stridulatory area) on the underside of the tegmen is described below from the Middle to Upper Triassic (Ladinian–Carnian) of the Madygen Lagerstätte, Central Asia. Such a strigil indicates that the new species possessed a stridulatory device of the forewing-hindleg type, similar to those occurring in the extinct Dysmorphoptilidae (Evans, 1961) and some extant true bugs (see Discussion). Dysmorphoptilids and the new ipsviciid genus may have used these devices to produce alarm signals.

Recently discovered Ypresian-age amber from Cambay, India, reveals an ancient arthropod assemblage on the Indian subcontinent during its collision with Asia. Despite the tectonic history of India, limited connections have been found between the Cambay palaeofauna and present-day Madagascan and mainland African faunas. Here, I describe a new fossil pselaphine rove beetle (Staphylinidae: Pselaphinae) recovered from the Cambay deposit that shows closest apparent phylogenetic affinity to modern Afrotropical genera. Yprezethinus grimaldii gen. et sp. nov. is placed in Bythinoplectini, subtribe Bythinoplectina. Based on antennal and maxillary palp morphology, Yprezethinus is a putative transitional stem lineage of the Zethinus-group of genera—an extant clade distributed across equatorial African rainforests. Although Yprezethinus shares with this clade the derived feature of ovoid antennal clubs formed by tight appression of the apical two segments, it differs from its putative extant relatives in its possession of the plesiomorphic complement of 11 antennomeres, without any fusions of segments. The fossil taxon signifies a biotic link between early Eocene India and continental Africa, and marks the Cenozoic emergence of a tropical leaf litter arthropod fauna approaching that of contemporary, ant-dominated rainforests.

A new fossil liposcelidid barklouse is described and figured in mid-Miocene amber from southeastern China. Belaphotroctes grimaldii sp. nov. is documented from an individual preserved in Langhian amber from Zhangpu, Fujian, China, and is the first fossil species of the family from the Cenozoic of Asia. The species is distinguished from its congeners and comments are provided regarding the implications of a Belaphotroctes Roesler in the Miocene of China.

Cresogmus grimaldii Rasnitsyn & Kolyada gen. et sp. nov. is described from the mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber in the tribe Disogmini (subfamily Proctotrupinae) as the first representative of the family Proctotrupidae encased in Burmese amber. This new genus is diagnosed by the occipital carina extending to the lower half of the head, the pronotum lacking an epomia, the pterostigma short, the petiole open but very short, the ovipositor wide and bent throughout, with its apex widely rounded. Diagnostic characters of Disogmini are revised.

Lebanon has an extraordinarily high proportion of Mesozoic amber outcrops, some (19 outcrops) from the Kimmeridgian, Upper Jurassic (Azar et al., 2010b; Nohra et al., 2013; Maksoud & Azar, 2020); and others (more than 450 outcrops) from the lower Barremian (Granier et al., 2016; Maksoud et al., 2017; Maksoud et al., 2022), Lower Cretaceous (Maksoud & Azar, 2020). The latter number is still endlessly growing (for a very small country with a total surface of 10,452 km2). To date 28 outcrops yielding biological inclusions are known (Maksoud et al., 2019, 2020, 2021a, b, c; Maksoud & Azar, 2022).

Various dermestids have been reported from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber (e.g., Deng et al., 2017; Háva & Damgaard, 2017; Háva, 2020, 2021). Among them, Attagenus burmiticus Cai et al. was the first adult described from this deposit (Cai et al., 2017). This fossil was originally attributed to the extant genus Attagenus in subfamily Attageninae. However, an important character was overlooked when they made this placement. Attagenus burmiticus has metacoxae meeting elytral epipleura laterally, which are unknown in any other Dermestidae except subfamily Orphilinae (Háva, 2004; Lawrence & Ślipiński 2005). In this study, we re-examine the holotype of A. burmiticus and transfer it into genus Nothattagenus Li & Cai gen. nov. in Orphilinae, as Nothattagenus burmiticus comb. nov.
据报道,白垩纪中期缅甸琥珀中存在各种皮肤化石(例如,Deng等人,2017;哈瓦和丹加德,2017;哈瓦,202021)。其中,缅甸阿塔属Cai等人是该矿床中描述的第一个成虫(Cai et al.,2017)。这个化石最初被认为是阿塔金亚科中现存的阿塔属。然而,当他们做这个位置时,忽略了一个重要的角色。缅甸阿塔属有一个侧面与鞘翅外鞘相遇的顶鞘,这在除Orphilinae亚科外的任何其他Dermestidae中都是未知的(Háva,2004;Lawrence和Šlipiński,2005年)。本研究重新研究了缅甸蚁的正模,并将其转移到Orphilinae中的Nothattagenus Li和Cai gen.nov.属中,称为缅甸蚁。十一月

A flat wasp specimen attributed to the genus Eupsenella Westwood, 1874 is described and figured from the early Eocene compressions of the Green River Formation. This fossil is the first known outside of the Old World for this genus and documents its wide distribution during the Paleogene, while it is currently confined to Australia and New Zealand. As for several other hymenopteran genera, we assume that this regression is linked to abiotic factors, i.e., the Cenozoic climate cooling, rather than to biotic factors.
