Abstract

In this study, Poinarelektronmiles Fanti & Damgaard, 2020 is considered as a junior synonym of Burmomiles Fanti, Damgaard & Ellenberger, 2018, since no generic diagnostic differences can be found in their type species except for the elytral length, which is a yet unstable and more ecology-related character. The two hitherto known species of Poinarelektronmiles are transferred to Burmomiles or Sanaungulus Fanti, Damgaard & Ellenberger, 2018, including B. ellenbergeri (Fanti & Damgaard, 2020) comb. nov. and S. cuaroni (Bramanti & Fanti, 2022) comb. nov. Meanwhile, B. dominikiweissbachi (Fanti & Müller, 2022) comb. nov., B. kachinensis (Fanti & Müller, 2022) comb. nov. and B. lethi (Fanti & Damgaard, 2020) comb. nov. are transferred from Sanaungulus. Six Sanaungulus species are suggested to be placed in Cantharidae incertae sedis, including S. electrum Fanti & Müller, 2022, S. franziskaeweissbachae Fanti & Müller, 2022, S. nalae Fanti & Müller, 2022, S. morellii Fanti & Damgaard, 2020, S. rosenzweigi Fanti & Damgaard, 2020 and S. ruicheni (Hsiao & Huang, 2018), due to their absence of antennal appendages in males. The gender identity for S. kirstenaeweissbachae Fanti & Müller, 2022 and S. cuaroni originally defined as females are corrected into males, according to their pectinate antennae. Additionally, four new species, S. marginalis sp. nov., S. longicornis sp. nov., S. elongaticollis sp. nov., and S. undecimus sp. nov., are described and illustrated. These results will significantly complement and expand our knowledge on the Burmite cantharid diversity.

中生代晚期缅甸北部的Burmomiles和Sanaungulus（鞘翅目，Cantharidae）的分类说明和新种

在本研究中，Poinarelektronmiles Fanti & Damgaard, 2020 被认为是 Burmomiles Fanti, Damgaard & Ellenberger, 2018 的低级异名，因为在它们的模式种中找不到任何类属诊断上的差异，除了尚未稳定且更多与生态学相关的特征--耳长。迄今已知的两个 Poinarelektronmiles 种被转入 Burmomiles 或 Sanaungulus Fanti、Damgaard 与 Ellenberger, 2018，包括 B. ellenbergeri (Fanti & Damgaard, 2020) comb.同时，B. dominikiweissbachi (Fanti & Müller, 2022) comb.由于 S. electrum Fanti & Müller, 2022, S. franziskaeweissbachae Fanti & Müller, 2022, S. nalae Fanti & Müller, 2022, S. morelliii Fanti & Damgaard, 2020, S. rosenzweigi Fanti & Damgaard, 2020 以及 S. ruicheni (Hsiao & Huang, 2018)，6 个 Sanaungulus 物种被建议归入 Cantharidae incertae sedis。S. kirstenaeweissbachae Fanti & Müller, 2022 和 S. cuaroni 最初被定义为雌性，根据它们的栉状触角，其性别身份被修正为雄性。此外，还描述并图解了四个新种：S. marginalis sp.nov.、S. longicornis sp.nov.、S. elongaticollis sp.nov.和 S. undecimus sp.nov.。这些结果将极大地补充和扩展我们对伯氏栉水母多样性的认识。

期刊介绍： Contributions to Zoology solicits high-quality papers in all systematics-related branches of comparative zoology (including paleozoology). Preference will be given to manuscripts dealing with conceptual issues and to integrative papers (e.g., ecology and biodiversity, morphology and phylogeny and character state evolution, phylogeny and historical biogeography, systematics and bioinformatics, bioinformatics and biodiversity, habitat disturbance and biogeography, etc.). Reviews and alpha-taxonomic contributions are considered for publication, but acceptance will depend on their high quality and exceptional nature.
