The first Cheliferidae (Pseudoscorpiones: Cheliferoidea) from mid‐Cretaceous Kachin amber

Journal of Systematics and Evolution
Pseudoscorpiones are a group of small‐sized to medium‐sized arachnids under the species‐rich Chelicerata. They are found in many terrestrial habitats, normally cryptic, including leaf litter and soil, under tree bark or rocks.

Discovery of a new anaxyelid wasp (Hymenoptera: Anaxyelidae) in mid-Cretaceous Kachin Amber

Palaeoentomology
The family Anaxyelidae, known primarily from the fossil record, consists of two subfamilies—Syntexinae, and Anaxyelinae—spanning from the Middle Jurassic to the present. Among the latter, Syntexinae are mostly represented by fossil taxa from the Jurassic

Palaeoentomology
Stygioberotha groehni sp. nov. (Neuroptera: Berothidae: Paraberothinae) is described from mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber. Its foreleg setation is very similar to that of S.

Palaeoentomology
A new genus, Rhynchoberotha gen. nov. with two new species (Rhynchoberotha zhangae sp. nov. and Rhynchoberotha biyi sp. nov.) of the lacewing family Berothidae from the mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber are described.

Crassiungula gen. nov., an Enigmatic Genus of Scarabaeoids from Mid-Cretaceous Kachin Amber (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea)

The Annals of zoology
. Mesozoic fossils play a crucial role in filling gaps in the evolutionary history of beetles. They provide insights into early evolution and morphological diversification that cannot be obtained through other data sources.

A new arceotermitid species from mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber (Isoptera: Teletisoptera)

Palaeoentomology
The mid-Cretaceous termite genus Arceotermes Engel & Jiang (Arceotermitidae) has hitherto been known from a single species in Kachin amber (Myanmar). Here we report a second species, which is described and figured as Arceotermes bellator sp.

Archistrophus filicornis gen. et sp. nov., a new polypore fungus beetle (Coleoptera, Tetratomidae) from the Cretaceous Kachin amber

Palaeoentomology
The family Tetratomidae Billberg, 1820 (Coleoptera: Tenebrionoidea), commonly known as polypore fungus beetles, primarily feed on fresh or decaying fruiting bodies of various fungi (Lawrence & Leschen, 2010; Hsiao et al., 2018; Hsiao, 2020).

Another species of Palaeoglaesum (Diptera, Psychodidae, Bruchomyiinae) from mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber

Palaeoentomology
Bruchomyiinae is a small subfamily of moth flies (Psychodidae) which includes fewer than 60 species restricted to tropical and subtropical regions (Curler & Jacobson, 2012; Wagner & Stuckenberg, 2016; Wagner, 2017; Skibińska & Santos, 2023).
