New Fossil Megalopteran and Megalopteran-like Larvae, a First Extinct Larval Morphology of Megaloptera, and Possible Larvae of Myxophagan Beetles [PDF]
InsectsWe report new fossil larval specimens that have characters of the group Megaloptera, i.e., are either megalopteran or megalopteran-like larvae from the Triassic, Cretaceous, or Eocene. Fossils from the latter two times are preserved in amber.

The smallest stag beetles (Coleoptera, Lucanidae): hidden paleodiversity in mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber from northern Myanmar [PDF]
Evolutionary Systematics, 2023 The fossil record of stag beetles (Lucanidae), especially in Mesozoic amber, is sparse. Four additional fossil lucanids preserved in mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber from northern Myanmar are here reported.

A miniaturized ommatid beetle in mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber (Coleoptera: Archostemata: Ommatidae) [PDF]
Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2020 Recent findings of ommatids from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber have greatly increased our knowledge on the Mesozoic diversity of Ommatidae. Here, we report the first distinctly miniaturized ommatid species, Miniomma chenkuni gen. et sp.

A new glimpse on trophic interactions of 100-million-year old lacewing larvae [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2020 Larvae of lacewings (Neuroptera) are known to be fierce predators. According to the morphology of fossil forms thisseems to have been the case already in the Early Cretaceous. While being predators, lacewing larvae are also food itemsfor other organisms.
