Abstract The paper deals with descriptions of four new species of Archostemata from the Paleocene and Earliest Eocene amber, Cupes manifestus n. sp., C. orbiculatus n. sp., C. ponomarenkoi n. sp. and Micromalthus eocenicus n. sp., the latter representing the oldest member of genus Micromalthus Leconte 1878 (Micromalthidae). The position, composition and origin of the genera Cupes and Micromalthus are considered. Cupes seemed to appear during Cretaceous or very close to this period, while…

A new genus and species of Micromalthidae from Burmese amber (Coleoptera: Archostemata)

The finding of the first micromalthid beetle from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber represents the first Mesozoic record of an adult micromALTHid beetle and confirms a Gondwanan distribution of the family during the Cretaceous.

The extant telephone-pole beetle genus Micromalthus discovered in mid-Cretaceous amber from northern Myanmar (Coleoptera: Archostemata: Micromalthidae)

The first Mesozoic fossil of the sole extant micromalthid genus Micromalthus is reported in the mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber from northern Myanmar, greatly expanding the knowledge of the origin and early evolution of MicromALTHus beetles.

New genus and species of the tribe Opatrini (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae, Tenebrioninae) from the lowermost Eocene amber of Paris Basin

The genus is most similar to the genera Neopachypterus and Pseudolamus from the tribe Opatrini by the shape of trochanters, but differs in the large eyes, presence of a row of spines along protibiae, and narrow subcylindrical apical maxillary palpomere.

A new species of Micromalthidae (Coleoptera) from the Rovno amber: 1. Adult morphology

The new species is readily distinguished from M. eocenicus Kirejtshuk et al., 2010 from the Early Eocene amber of Oise in France by the shorter body, unequal length of antennomeres 3 and 4, ovate terminal antennae, less transverse head, transverse scutellum, and by the considerably shortened adsutural elytral margin.

First Record of Fossil Mesocupes from China (Coleoptera: Archostemata: Cupedidae)

These new species are the first three records of fossil Mesocupes in China as well as the oldest ones in the world now, and the age of Daohugou fossil‐bearing beds might be older than that of Karatau assemblage and consequently of Middle Jurassic.

Review of larval morphology of beetles of the suborder Archostemata (Insecta: Coleoptera), including first-instar chaetotaxy

Monophyly of the suborder is strongly supported by more than 10 larval autapomorphies, and a close relationship between Micromalthidae and Cupedidae is confirmed.

The Miocene species appears to be less fetalized than its modern counterpart, and is generally similar to Recent M. debilis, but differs in the longer legs and antennae.

How long can insect species exist? Evidence from extant and fossil Micromalthus beetles (Insecta: Coleoptera)

Quelques précisions au sujet de Micromalthus (Insecta coleoptera)

The prothorax of Micromalthus is very different of those of the other Coleoptera. Its pterothorax is quite similar to that of the Lymexylonidae near which the family Micromalthidae must be classified.
