Cretopachyderes gen. nov., a new remarkable click beetle (Coleoptera: Elateridae: Agrypninae) from the mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber
Abstract. Although the Mesozoic Era played an important role in the
evolution and diversification of Elateridae, the Cretaceous click-beetle
fauna remains very poorly known. Here we describe Cretopachyderes burmitinus gen. et sp. nov. based on
a single specimen from the mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. This species is
remarkable for its extremely long posterior angles of pronotum, which is a
unique character among fossil Elateridae. We discuss the diagnostic
characters of Cretopachyderes gen. nov. and tentatively place it to subfamily Agrypninae
close to extant genus Pachyderes Guérin-Méneville, 1829.
期刊介绍:
Fossil Record (FR) is the palaeontological journal of the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin. This journal was founded in 1998 under the name Mitteilungen aus dem Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, Geowissenschaftliche Reihe and appears with two issues each year. Fossil Record publishes original papers in all areas of palaeontology including the taxonomy and systematics of fossil organisms, biostratigraphy, palaeoecology, and evolution. All taxonomic groups are treated, including invertebrates, microfossils, plants, and vertebrates.
