Dominican amber net-winged beetles suggest stable paleoenvironment as a driver for conserved morphology in a paedomorphic lineage [PDF]
Paedomorphosis is a heterochronic syndrome in which adult individuals display features of their immature forms. In beetles, this phenomenon occurs widely in the superfamily Elateroidea, including the net-winged beetles (Lycidae), and, due to the usual ...

The complete mitogenome of Lycostomus sp. (Elateroidea: Lycidae) [PDF]
The complete mitochondrial genome of a net-winged beetle was sequenced, Lycostomus sp. (Coleoptera: Lycidae). The total length of this mitogenome is 16096 bp and the composition of each base is A (41.1%), T (31.9%), C (17.1%), G (9.9%), respectively. The

The About 100 Million Years Old Enigmatic “Beak Larva” Is a Weird Click Beetle Relative [PDF]
“Beak larva” is a collective term for four fossil specimens from Kachin amber, which are holometabolan larvae with a forward-projecting beak. This arrangement is very unusual, and so far it has been unclear whether these specimens are larvae of beetles ...

New Genera and Species of the Family Throscidae (Coleoptera: Elateroidea) in Mid-Cretaceous Burmese Amber [PDF]
Captopus depressicepsgen. et sp. nov., Electrothroscus yanpingaegen. et sp. nov. and Pseudopactopus robustusgen. et sp. nov. are reported from the mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. These new findings greatly extend the Mesozoic diversity of Throscidae, which

Click beetle larvae from Cretaceous Burmese amber represent an ancient Gondwanan lineage [PDF]
The click beetles (Elateridae) represent the major and well-known group of the polyphagan superfamily Elateroidea. Despite a relatively rich fossil record of Mesozoic Elateridae, only a few species are described from the Upper Cretaceous Burmese amber ...
