The Cretaceous fossil record of the aculeate superfamily Chrysidoidea has been greatly enriched in the past few years, thanks especially to the abundance of available material in the late Albian-early Cenomanian amber from the Kachin state (Myanmar). We here document the discovery of a new genus and species, Thagyaminobythus martini gen. et sp. nov., from Kachin amber, emphasizing the extraordinary diversity of chrysidoid wasps in this deposit. The genus is left as incertae sedis within the superfamily because it exhibits a combination of Scolebythidae, Bethylidae and Chrysididae features. We discuss the possibility that Thagyaminobythus martini gen. et sp. nov. could retract its posterior metasomal segments and the co-occurrence of such a structure in several chrysidoid families.
近年来，针状超科Chrysidoidea的白垩纪化石记录得到了极大的丰富，特别是得益于缅甸克钦邦的阿尔比晚期-塞诺曼早期琥珀的丰富资料。我们在克钦琥珀中发现了一个新的属和种，Thagyaminobythus martini gen. et sp. nov.，强调了该沉积物中黄蜂的非凡多样性。该属在超科中被保留为inintertae sedis，因为它表现出一种综合了Scolebythidae, Bethylidae和chrysiddidae的特征。我们讨论了Thagyaminobythus martini gen. et sp. 11 .可以收缩其后转移节的可能性，以及这种结构在几个chrysidoid科中共同出现的可能性。

Early Cretaceous Wealden amber of the Isle of Wight (early Barremian, ~125 Ma) represents one of the oldest known fossiliferous ambers. Here we describe the first fossil beetle from the deposit, and first British coleopteran amber inclusion, the artematopodid Valdopogon simpsoni gen. et sp. nov. Despite its fragmentary nature, the fossil possesses a puzzling combination of characters unseen in modern Artematopodidae, namely equally long abdominal ventrites I and II, concave sutures between ventrites I–V, and absence of elytral striation. Valdopogon contributes to our understanding of the morphological evolution of this once diverse group of elateroid beetles.
怀特岛的早白垩世威尔登琥珀(Barremian早期，~125 Ma)是已知最古老的化石琥珀之一。在这里，我们描述了从该沉积物中发现的第一个甲虫化石，以及第一个英国鞘翅目琥珀包裹体——artematopodid Valdopogon simpsoni gen. et sp. 11。尽管它是碎片状的，但该化石具有现代Artematopodidae中未见的令人困惑的特征组合，即同样长的腹部腔体I和II，腔体I - v之间的凹缝，并且没有鞘翅纹。Valdopogon有助于我们理解这个曾经多样化的扁形甲虫群体的形态进化。

Burmese amber originates from the Hukawng Valley in northern Myanmar (Burma). Shi et al. (2012) proposed an age of ca. 99 Ma based on zircon dating, whereas Smith & Ross (2018) proposed an age of 100 Ma based on sediments inside amber produced by bored bivalves. Regarding the plant producing resin Cruickshank & Ko (2003) recorded spores both of Araucariaceae and Taxodiaceae origin. Poinar et al. (2007) proposed an araucariacean origin due to the similitudes with modern kauri pines (Agathis) from New Zealand, while Grimaldi & Ross (2017) suggested the possibility of a Cupressaceae (Metasequoia) origin. Although amber inclusions from Myanmar were first described by Cockerell (1916), great interest (and a huge number of papers) in this biota started only two decades ago.
缅甸琥珀原产于缅甸北部的胡康河谷。Shi et al.(2012)基于锆石定年提出了大约99 Ma的年龄，而Smith &Ross(2018)根据钻孔双壳类产生的琥珀中的沉积物提出了100 Ma的年龄。关于生产树脂的工厂;Ko(2003)记录了原木杉科和紫杉科的孢子。Poinar et al.(2007)由于与新西兰的现代贝壳杉(Agathis)相似，提出了一种原生动物起源，而Grimaldi &Ross(2017)提出了柏科(水杉)起源的可能性。尽管来自缅甸的琥珀内含物最早是由Cockerell(1916)描述的，但对这一生物群的极大兴趣(以及大量论文)直到20年前才开始出现。

The global warming that occurred during the Permo-Triassic transition, following the end of the Late Paleozoic glaciation, and the resulting responses of the biota to the changing environment, are considered important analogs for understanding rapid future warming scenarios. While there has been extensive research on the patterns and extent of diversity in plants, tetrapods, and marine invertebrates during the Permo-Triassic, the study of insect diversity and the evolution of their faunal composition has been relatively limited. The question of whether there were insect extinctions during this period continues to be a subject of debate. Here, we present a statistical study on taxonomic diversity of insects—at specific, generic and familial levels—throughout the Permian and Triassic, with subsampled context on the reported global occurrences. Our result show that more than one insect extinction events, accompanied by significant diversity drop and turnovers of faunal compositional, occurred in the Permian and Triassic. All the uncovered insect diversity crises exhibit strong correspondence with the well-known marine mass extinction events in the Middle Permian, Permo-Triassic transition, Carnian, and Rhaetian, whilst the marine correspondence with the Early Permian insect crisis is less pronounced. Insects, being a major component of terrestrial ecosystems, demonstrate varied diversity responses to climatic changes in Permian and Triassic. Our study sheds new light on the intricate interplay between insect diversity evolution and the changing environmental conditions during these critical geohistorical periods.

The evolutionary history of terrestrial moss in Asia during the Cenozoic is poorly interpreted in largely because of very limited fossil evidence. The middle Miocene Zhangpu amber is the sole resin source of moss fossils in China, which shows a diverse moss population during the mid-Miocene Climatic Optimum. In this study, we reported the discovery of a gametophyte fragment of moss fossil in a well-preserved amber inclusion from the middle Miocene of Zhangpu, Southeast China. The observation methods involved light microscopy and synchrotron radiation–based X-ray microcomputed tomography analysis on the amber inclusions. The fossil has lanceolate leaves with involute margins, long linear laminal cells with unipapillae, well-developed and enlarged alar cells, and an absence of costae. The fossil is assigned to the extant Trichosteleum and represents the only known occurrence of a fossilized Trichosteleum member in Asia. This finding enhances our comprehension on the moss diversity within Zhangpu amber and establishes a first record of Trichosteleum in Asia.

Amber, highly prized in ancient times, has a wide range of applications. Archaeological evidence confirms that amber played a significant role in long-distance material exchange and trade during ancient times. Baltic amber, in particular, was extensively traded in the Near East region during the Bronze age (e.g., Todd, 1985). The emergence of the Silk Road trade additionally facilitated the spread of amber and its products in the Far East. Extensive archaeological excavations conducted across the Eurasian steppe (Treister, 2020), as well as in China and the Korean Peninsula, have yielded numerous amber artifacts originating from the Baltic Sea (e.g., Park et al., 2016; Xiao et al., 2020; Liu et al., 2022). The northern region of Myanmar served as a significant source of amber material in Asia during ancient times, and amber from this area and its products have also been discovered in the Han Dynasty (206 BCE–220 AD) tombs in China (Chen et al., 2019; Zhao et al., 2023; Liu et al., 2023). It is generally accepted that the ancient amber artifacts in China were primarily made from amber obtained from both the Baltic region and Myanmar (e.g., Xu, 2008). However, the scarcity of amber in Iron Age sites across South and Southeast Asia impedes tour comprehensive understanding about its usage and trade among this specific area.
琥珀在古代非常珍贵，用途广泛。考古证据证实，琥珀在古代的长距离物质交换和贸易中发挥了重要作用。特别是波罗的海琥珀，在青铜时代在近东地区被广泛交易(例如，Todd, 1985)。丝绸之路贸易的出现进一步促进了琥珀及其制品在远东地区的传播。在欧亚大草原(Treister, 2020)以及中国和朝鲜半岛进行的广泛考古发掘，已经发现了许多来自波罗的海的琥珀文物(例如，Park等人，2016;肖等，2020;刘等人，2022)。缅甸北部地区在古代是亚洲琥珀材料的重要来源，在中国汉代(公元前206年-公元220年)的墓葬中也发现了来自该地区的琥珀及其制品(Chen et al.， 2019;赵等，2023;Liu et al.， 2023)。人们普遍认为，中国古代琥珀制品主要由来自波罗的海地区和缅甸的琥珀制成(例如，Xu, 2008)。然而，在南亚和东南亚的铁器时代遗址中，琥珀的稀缺性阻碍了游客对这一特定地区琥珀的使用和贸易的全面了解。

The northern region of Myanmar served as a significant source of amber material in Asia during ancient times, and amber from this area and its products have also been discovered in the Han Dynasty (206 BCE–220 AD) tombs in China (Chen et al., 2019; Zhao et al., 2023; Liu et al., 2023). It is generally accepted that the ancient amber artifacts in China were primarily made from amber obtained from both the Baltic region and Myanmar (e.g., Xu, 2008). However, the scarcity of amber in Iron Age sites across South and Southeast Asia impedes tour comprehensive understanding about its usage and trade among this specific area.","PeriodicalId":53179,"journal":{"name":"Palaeoentomology","volume":"193 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136019281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
