摘要

长角甲虫（Cerambycidae 科）是分布于全球的昆虫，具有重要的生态作用。在这里，我们首次发现了澳大利亚的长角甲虫化石。所描述的两个新类群--Ventiala beattiei gen.其中一个标本含有线虫，为我们了解古代物种之间的相互作用提供了难得的线索。这些发现加深了我们对中新世中生代生态系统的了解，并强调了麦格拉斯平地作为研究澳大利亚陆生节肢动物生物多样性进化史的重要地点的重要性。

The first fossil longhorn beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) from Australia

Longhorn beetles (family Cerambycidae) are globally distributed insects with important ecological roles. Here we present the first discovery of fossil longhorn beetles from Australia. The two new taxa described, Ventiala beattiei gen. et sp. nov. and Ferrucornus gulgongensis gen. et sp. nov. are from McGraths Flat, New South Wales, a finely-layered (laminated) fossiliferous goethite deposit dated to the Miocene (11–16 million years ago). One specimen hosts a nematode, providing rare insight into ancient species interactions. These findings enhance our understanding of Miocene mesic ecosystems and underscore the importance of McGraths Flat as a crucial site for studying the evolutionary history of Australia's terrestrial arthropod biodiversity.

期刊介绍： The Science of Nature - Naturwissenschaften - is Springer''s flagship multidisciplinary science journal. The journal is dedicated to the fast publication and global dissemination of high-quality research and invites papers, which are of interest to the broader community in the biological sciences. Contributions from the chemical, geological, and physical sciences are welcome if contributing to questions of general biological significance. Particularly welcomed are contributions that bridge between traditionally isolated areas and attempt to increase the conceptual understanding of systems and processes that demand an interdisciplinary approach.
