A new coleopteran genus, Anacapitis gen. nov., comprising A. karataviensis sp. nov., A. incertus sp. nov., and A. oblongus sp. nov., is described from the Karabastau Formation of the Karatau locality (southern Kazakhstan, Middle-Late Jurassic) in the infraorder Elateriformia. The systematic position of the new genus within the suborder Polyphaga is discussed.

A new genus of Elateriform beetles (Coleoptera, Polyphaga) from the Jurassic of Daohugou, China
TLDR
A new coleopteran genus, Parelateriformius, gen. nov., is described from Daohugou deposits, Inner Mongolia, China, and is assigned to the infraorder Elateriformia.
First record of the beetle family Lasiosynidae (Insecta: Coleoptera) from the Lower Cretaceous of China
Two new genera of Lasiosynidae (Insecta, Coleoptera) from the Lower Cretaceous of Russia and Mongolia, and principal trends of the morphological evolution of the family
TLDR
Two new monotypic genera of the family Lasiosynidae are described from two Early Cretaceous localities: Baisa (Eastern Siberia, Zaza Formation) and Sharyn-Gol (Mongolia), and Crassisyne gen. nov.
A New Mesozoic Species of Soft-Bodied Plant Beetle (Coleoptera: Dascillidae) from the Early Cretaceous of Inner Mongolia, China with a Review of Fossil Dascillidae
TLDR
A new genus, Cretodascillus gen. nov, is described from the Early Cretaceous Yixian Formation of Inner Mongolia, China with a new species C. sinensis sp.nov in the family Dascillidae.
The Mesozoic stage of evolution of the family Nemonychidae (Coleoptera, Curculionoidea)
TLDR
The Mesozoic stage in the evolution of the family Nemonychidae is studied; 80 species of 42 genera are recorded in the Mesozoics fauna and the phylogeny and morphology of this family are considered.
Family Lasiosynidae n. fam., new palaeoendemic Mesozoic family from the infraorder Elateriformia (Coleoptera: Polyphaga)
TLDR
The new family Lasiosynidae is regarded in composition of the infraorder Elateriformia without a more detailed attribution, because it demonstrates a mixture of characters of different families and superfamilies.
Earliest mordellid-like beetles from the Jurassic of Kazakhstan and China (Coleoptera: Tenebrionoidea)
Three distinct but rare kovalevisargid flies from the Jurassic Daohugou biota, China (Insecta, Diptera, Brachycera, Kovalevisargidae)
TLDR
New morphological details about kovalevisargid flies are revealed, new evidence for the biostratigraphic correlation of nonmarine sedimentary strata of both the Karabastau and Daohugou Formations is offered and familial and generic diagnoses are supplemented based on information derived from these new species.
