First Jurassic representative of the extinct family Peleserphidae (Hymenoptera, Proctotrupoidea) [PDF]

Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2021
Arkadiserphus leleji Rasnitsyn, gen. et sp. nov., is described from the Upper Jurassic deposits of Karatau (Kazakhstan) in the proctotrupoid family Peleserphidae hitherto known solely from the mid-Cretaceous Burmese (Kachin) amber.

A new fossil piddock (Bivalvia: Pholadidae) may indicate estuarine to freshwater environments near Cretaceous amber-producing forests in Myanmar

Scientific Reports, 2021
The lower Cenomanian Kachin amber from Myanmar contains a species-rich assemblage with numerous plant and animal fossils. Terrestrial and, to a lesser degree, freshwater species predominate in this assemblage, while a few taxa with marine affinities were

Revisiting the Raractocetus Fossils from Mesozoic and Cenozoic Amber Deposits (Coleoptera: Lymexylidae)

Insects, 2022
The fossils once assigned to Raractocetus Kurosawa from the Mesozoic and Cenozoic amber deposits differ from extant Raractocetus in the longer elytra, the more strongly projecting metacoxae, and the hind wing with vein 2A forked.

Extending the diversity of the bryoflora in Kachin amber (Myanmar), with the description of Radula patrickmuelleri, sp. nov. and R. tanaiensis, sp. nov. (Jungermanniopsida, Porellales, Radulaceae) [PDF]

Fossil Record, 2022
The most prolific source of exquisitely preserved bryophyte fossils is amber, which often contains inclusions in a three-dimensional and life-like state of preservation.

New species of Tanaidacea from Cretaceous Kachin amber, with a brief review of the fossil record of tanaidacean crustaceans [PDF]

Fossil Record, 2023
Tanaidaceans are benthic, mostly marine, crustaceans that live burrowed in the substrate or in self-built tubes. The fossil record of Tanaidacea reaches back to the Carboniferous, 350 million years ago, but it is especially species-rich in Cretaceous ...

A hatching aphidlion‐like lacewing larva in 100 million years old Kachin amber

Insect Science, 2022
We report a fossil aphidlion-like larva preserved with its egg case in 100 million year old Kachin amber, Myanmar. It appears to have been enclosed very shortly after hatching, especially when comparing it with extant aphidlions during hatching. Although hatching aphidlion-like larvae are known from amber from other localities, this is the first case ...

Evolutionary implications of new Postopsyllidiidae from mid-Cretaceous amber from Myanmar and sternorrhynchan nymphal conservatism

Scientific Reports, 2022
Nymphs of extinct sternorrhynchan hemipterans are extremely rare, although very important for understanding of evolutionary traits of these insects.

New Cretaceous Lacewings in a Transitional Lineage of Myrmeleontoidea and Their Phylogenetic Implications

Insects, 2022
The extinct neuropteran families Cratosmylidae and Babinskaiidae hitherto only known from the Cretaceous represent the transitional lineage between Nymphidae and advanced myrmeleontoids (e.g., Nemopteridae and Myrmeleontidae) in the superfamily ...

The family Pupinidae (Gastropoda: Caenogastropoda: Cyclophoroidea) from mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber

, 2023
Inclusions of terrestrial mollusks in Kachin amber are of increasing interest to palaeontologists in recent years. Here we describe a new genus (Cretadiostoma gen. nov.) including two new species (C. caperatum sp. nov., C. umbilicarinatum sp.

A new Darwin wasp (Ichneumonidae: Novichneumoninae) from mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber

Palaeoentomology
Ichneumonid wasps, also known as Darwin wasps, are relatively rare in Cretaceous amber deposits, with only the highest diversity documented from mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber. In order to enhance our understanding of the past diversity of this group, we describe and illustrate a new species belonging to the genus Rasnichneumon Kopylov et al., 2021, named
