Abstract
The larva of Cretoctesis conchimillanae gen. et sp. nov. from Burmese amber of Cenomanian (Middle Cretaceous) age is described. The new taxon belongs to the family Buprestidae, subfamily Polycestinae, tribe Polyctesini. It is the first formally described fossil larva of the family and the third species of the subfamily for the Cretaceous. Cretoctesis places the origin of the tribe Polyctesini in the Middle Cretaceous, them being the first taxon in the fossil record for the tribe.

Paleontological Journal (Paleontologicheskii zhurnal) is the principal Russian periodical in paleontology. The journal publishes original work on the anatomy, morphology, and taxonomy of fossil organisms, as well as their distribution, ecology, and origin. It also publishes studies on the evolution of organisms, ecosystems, and the biosphere and provides invaluable information on global biostratigraphy with an emphasis on Eastern Europe and Asia.
