Abstract
A new archostematan beetle, Brochocoleus sonidensis sp. nov. (Insecta: Coleoptera: Archostemata) is described based on a specimen preserved in the dorsal aspect from the Lower Cretaceous Damoguaihe Formation of Inner Mongolia, China. The new species is the first body species of the genus disinterred in China and can be distinguished from the other congeners based on its largest known size, not strong forward convergence of the lateral edges of the prothorax, and the unique combination of the aspect ratios of the pronotum and head.
期刊介绍:
The Proceedings of the Geologists'' Association is an international geoscience journal that was founded in 1859 and publishes research and review papers on all aspects of Earth Science. In particular, papers will focus on the geology of northwestern Europe and the Mediterranean, including both the onshore and offshore record. Following a long tradition, the PGA will focus on: i) a range of article types (see below) on topics of wide relevance to Earth Sciences ii) papers on aspects of Earth Science that have societal relevance including geoconservation and Earth management, iii) papers on palaeoenvironments and palaeontology of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic, iv) papers on aspects of Quaternary geology and climate change, and v) papers on the history of geology with particular reference to individuals that have shaped the subject. These topics will also steer the content of the themes of the Special Issues that are published in the PGA.
