An unusual elateroid lineage from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber (Coleoptera: Elateroidea)

Abstract We here report a new elateroid, Anoeuma lawrencei Li, Kundrata and Cai gen. et sp. nov., from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. Though superficially similar to some soft-bodied archostematans, Anoeuma could be firmly placed in the polyphagan superfamily Elateroidea based on the hind wing venati...
