Abstract

Here we describe four new fossil species of soldier beetles, Burmomiles brevicollis sp. nov., B. angustipennis sp. nov., B. recticollis sp. nov., B. dentatus sp. nov., which are collected from the mid-Cretaceous amber in Kachin (Hukawng valley) of Northern Myanmar. They are placed in Burmomiles Fanti, Damgaard et Ellenberger, 2018 based on the male antennomeres IV‒X each with an antennal appendage inserted at a basal cavity on the ventral side, and tibiae hardly longer than femora, tarsomeres I normal and less than twice as long as II. Moreover, with more species added, the key for the identification of all Burmomiles species is updated. These results will significantly expand our knowledge on the species diversity of Burmite cantharids.

白垩纪中期缅甸琥珀中发现的四种新的缅甸鞘翅目（Coleoptera, Cantharidae）昆虫

在此，我们描述了从缅甸北部克钦（Hukawng山谷）白垩纪中期琥珀中采集到的4个新的兵甲虫化石物种：Burmomiles brevicollis sp.它们被归入 Burmomiles Fanti, Damgaard et Ellenberger, 2018，依据是雄性触角 IV-X 各有一个插入腹侧基部空腔的触角附属物，胫骨几乎不长于股骨，跗节 I 正常且长度不到 II 的两倍。此外，随着更多物种的加入，用于鉴定所有 Burmomiles 物种的检索表也得到了更新。这些结果将大大扩展我们对伯氏犬科物种多样性的认识。

期刊介绍： Cretaceous Research provides a forum for the rapid publication of research on all aspects of the Cretaceous Period, including its boundaries with the Jurassic and Palaeogene. Authoritative papers reporting detailed investigations of Cretaceous stratigraphy and palaeontology, studies of regional geology, and reviews of recently published books are complemented by short communications of significant new findings. Papers submitted to Cretaceous Research should place the research in a broad context, with emphasis placed towards our better understanding of the Cretaceous, that are therefore of interest to the diverse, international readership of the journal. Full length papers that focus solely on a local theme or area will not be accepted for publication; authors of short communications are encouraged to discuss how their findings are of relevance to the Cretaceous on a broad scale. Research Areas include: • Regional geology • Stratigraphy and palaeontology • Palaeobiology • Palaeobiogeography • Palaeoceanography • Palaeoclimatology • Evolutionary Palaeoecology • Geochronology • Global events.
