 sp. nov.</p>
            <p>Type material.</p>
            <p> Holotype specimen (1409/E), unknown sex, Northern Myanmar, inclusion in burmite (ca. 99 Ma), amber piece clear, 15  ×6× 2 mm, with small pieces of debris. </p>
            <p>Description.</p>
            <p>Measurements. Head width: 0.14 mm, width between anterior pronotal angles: 0.175 mm, width between posterior pronotal angles: 0.4 mm, pronotal length: 0.21 mm, elytral length: 0.38 mm, elytral width (across widest point): 0.46 mm. - Body regularly round, convex, cuticle brown to black, covered with white debris coating. Body margins dorsally explanate. Elytra with punctures (diameter 10 microns) separated by their diameter. Pronotum with irregular weak longitudinal rugae. - Head. Frontoclypeal area laterally depressed, almost constricted. Frontal stria carinate, widely interrupted medially, slightly continuous to clypeus. Frontal surface laterad of frontal stria forming a depression fit to receive antennal scape in repose, pressed against outer margin of frontal stria. Clypeus anteriorly elevated with large punctures. Labrum dorsally with depressions, with a pair of long prominent setae. Right mandible bidentate with a prominent acute subapical tooth, inner margin of left mandible not visible. Terminal maxillary palpomere elongate, apically acute, slightly flattened. Antennal scape long and robust. Shape of the scape coincident with frontal carina. Pedicel as long as antennomeres 3-6 combined. Antennomeres 3-8 short. Antennal club round, with two apparent straight annuli. Eyes not visible. - Thorax. Pronotal margins narrowing anteriorly; anterior angles acute. Lateral and anterior margins explanate. Median part of frontal disc punctuate, convex with irregular longitudinal rugae. Posterior margin subungulate. Scutellum minute, triangular. Elytra apically truncate. Lateral and basal elytral margins distinctly explanate. Elytral suture elevated. Elytra punctuate at least medially (punctures separated by their diameter); rest of elytral surface covered with debris. Dorsal striation not discernible. Elytral epipleuron unusually wide with two protuberant costae on basal half. Epipleuron largely conceals metepisternum. Prosternal process rectangular, medially depressed. Prosternal lobe short with distinct margin and with antennal fissures laterally. Apex of prosternal lobe keel-like, elevated. Antennal cavity located near procoxa, deep, closed anteriorly. Mesoventrite transverse, 4x wider than long. Meso-metaventral suture invisible. Meso-metaventral stria carinate, anteriorly arcuate. Anterolateral corners with distinct round depressions. Metaventrite with delicate sparse punctures. Lateral metaventral stria complete, carinate. Metaventral disc convex. Metepisternum largely concealed by elytral epipleuron, with rugose punctuation. - Abdomen. First visible abdominal sternite with large punctures separated by their diameter. Pygidium with similarly patterned punctures. Other abdominal segments inflexed and covered with debris, unobservable. - Legs. Profemur with a weakly developed groove for protibial reception. Protibia moderately broad, with a costa along inner margin and slightly thickened along the outer margin, creating a tarsal groove. Outer protibial margin with a dense row of short setae diminishing in size basally, a row of short slender setae also present on the inner margin. Protibial spur tiny. Terminal protarsomere as long as tarsomeres 2-4 combined, claws 1/3 of terminal tarsomere length. Mesotibia slenderer, with a row of short slender setae both on outer and inner margin. Mesotibia with a shallow groove for mesofemoral reception. Mesotarsus similar to protarsus. Metafemur with a groove for metatibial reception, otherwise hind leg identical to middle leg.</p>
            <p>Taxonomic assignment.</p>
            <p> Cretanapleus seideli can be clearly placed in the  Dendrophilinae based on the prosternum with a short prosternal lobe with antennal fissures laterally. We further place this species in the monophyletic tribe  Anapleini (Zhou et al. 2020), as defined by Olexa (1984), based on protibial characters: protarsal groove with distinctly elevated margins, outer protibial margin simple, devoid of teeth or denticles, with a simple row of setae (Fig. 3C, D). However,  C. seideli differs from the only extant genus of the tribe,  Anapleus Horn, 1873, in several significant characters: presence of frontal stria (absent in  Anapleus , Fig. 3G, H), deep and closed antennal cavity (shallow and widely open in  Anapleus ), and strongly emarginated lateral body margins (Fig. 3G, rounded in  Anapleus ). Our phylogenetic analyses confirmed the placement of  C. seideli in  Anapleini (Fig. 5). </p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p>We dedicate the species to Dr. Matthias Seidel (Naturhistorisches Museum, Vienna, Austria) who introduced the first author of this paper to the study of fossil beetle inclusions.</p>

Rest of the abdomen telescopically inflexed. Propygidium almost entirely covered with elytra. Pygidium short, triangular, bistriate. Female genitalia exposed, apex of valvifers cut off during polishing process. - Legs. Profemur flattened. Protibia strongly dilated, rounded, protibial spur massive; smaller apical spur present underneath it. Outer protibial margin slightly inwardly arcuate in the first anterior forth. Rest of the outer protibial margin round, with regularly separated short denticles, diminishing in size in basal direction, absent in the inwardly arcuate part.

            <p>Taxonomic assignment.</p>
            <p> Olexum complanatum can be placed within the subfamily  Dendrophilinae based on the following characters: prosternal lobe short, with incision for the passage of antenna (Fig. 2F), antennal cavities widely open. </p>
            <p> According to the phylogenetic analysis the species is related to the extant genus  Dendrophilus Leach, 1817, as well as fossil  Dendrophilinae genera  Yethiha Caterino, 2021 and  Druantia Caterino, 2021 (Fig. 5).  Dendrophilinae subfamily is most likely polyphyletic (Zhou et al., 2020) and comprehensive phylogenetic study is desirable. Hence, we refrain from placing  O. complanatum into a tribe. </p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p>The specific name complanatum refers to the flattened body shape of this species.</p>

 sp. nov.</p>
            <p>Type material.</p>
            <p> Holotype specimen (1407/E), unknown sex, Northern Myanmar, inclusion in burmite, Cenomanian (ca. 99 Ma), amber piece somewhat opaque, with significant amount of debris and bubbles, ca. 6  ×4× 2 mm, synclusions: plant material, minute seeds, unidentified insect fragments. </p>
            <p>Description.</p>
            <p>Measurements. Head width: 0.2 mm, width between anterior pronotal angles: 0.41 mm, width between pronotal prosternal angles: 0.93 mm, pronotal length: 0.75 mm, elytral length: 1.11 mm, elytral width (across widest point): 0.93 mm. - Body. Rectangular, flattened, dorsal cuticle wholly covered with irregular prominent tubercles and depressions. Cuticle pitch black, legs chestnut brown. - Head. Frons with deep anteromedian depression, punctate. Supraorbital stria present, carinate. Frontal stria carinate, widely interrupted medially, extending to the clypeolabral suture, convergent anteriorly. Mandibles stout, massive, outer margin almost perpendicular, carinate. Labrum long, almost square-shaped, asetose, without punctures, appears to be fused with clypeus. Left mandible with acute prominent tip, rest of the mandibles invisible. Terminal maxillary palpomere thin and long, flattened. Remaining mouthparts unobservable. Scape curved, as long as antennomeres 2-8 combined, outer margin distinctly carinate. Pedicel slightly longer than antennomere 3. Antennomeres 3-8 short, becoming wider apically. Antennal club large, round, covered with a velvet-like white layer (short setation). Two intersegmental sutures of antennal club visible, straight. Eyes flattened. - Thorax. Pronotum rectangular, very wide, flat, with large depressions and irregular large shallow punctures of various sizes mostly in the anterolateral region. Anterior pronotal angles prominent, obtuse. Basal margin of pronotum significantly curved posteriorly. Lateral edges parallel with and subsequent to the lateral edges of elytra. Marginal pronotal stria complete. Outer lateral stria present as a short thin basal fragment reaching approximately 1/3 of pronotal length apically. Inner lateral pronotal stria deeply impressed, complete laterally, absent anteriorly (interrupted at the anterolateral angles of the pronotum). Surface between marginal and lateral pronotal striae convex. Scutellar shield small, triangular. Elytra without punctuation, with extensive depressions covering its entire dorsal area. Marginal elytral stria deeply impressed, complete, wider anteriorly. Dorsal striae I and II faintly present on posterior half of elytra. Elytral epipleural stria complete, carinate. Prosternal lobe large, broad, delicately punctuate, with two thin transverse lines. Anterior prosternal margin almost straight medially. Marginal prosternal stria not distinguishable. Prosternal process obfuscated by debris. Antennal cavity present, partially closed by prosternal alae. Mesoventrite with irregular depressions, surface structures unclear. Meso-metaventral area with large depression, most likely caused by external factors (and hence likely representing an artefact), making the striation on mesoventrite and metaventrite indiscernible. Metaventrite with shallow punctures. Metepisternum depressed and irregularly sculptured. - Abdomen. First visible abdominal ventrite square-shaped, with deep punctures separated by their diameter. Rest of abdomen missing. - Legs. Profemur flat. Protibia flat and very broad, with 6 short and thick denticles on outer margin. Protarsal groove present, faintly S-shaped. Protibial spur well developed. Protarsus short. Mesofemur massively thickened, triangular in cross section. Mesotibia relatively short (shorter than mesofemur), flat and very broad (broader than protibia), with short thick denticles along its outer margin. Mesotarsus not visible. Metafemur very thickened, triangular in cross section. Metatibia largely similar to mesotibia but not as wide, with short thick denticles and numerous shorter setae along the outer margin. Large accumulation of short slender denticles present apically around the metatibia-metatarsal articulation. Metatarsus long (about 3/4 of the metatibial length).</p>
            <p>Taxonomic assignment.</p>
            <p> The present species undoubtedly belongs to the subfamily  Histerinae due to the combination of the following characters: asetose and impunctate labrum (Fig. 1D), well-developed prosternal lobe, antennal cavity partially closed by prosternal alae (Fig. 1D, E). </p>
            <p> Platycretus muscularis was resolved as sister group to  Haeteriinae in the phylogenetic analyses. They share several synapomorphies - very wide profemur and long, square shaped labrum which appears to be fused with clypeus (see Fig. 5C). However, the species lacks other defining characters of the  Haeteriinae - namely the robust triangular scape. Some characters important for tribal assignment (e.g., meso- and metaventrite) are obfuscated. </p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p>The Latin adjective muscularis (muscular) refers to the thickened meso- and metafemora most likely accommodating a large amount of muscle tissue.</p>

 sp. nov.</p>
            <p>Type material.</p>
            <p>Holotype specimen (1410/E), unknown sex, Northern Myanmar, inclusion in burmite (ca. 99 Ma), amber piece clear, ca. 14x5x1 mm, without synclusions.</p>
            <p>Description.</p>
            <p> Measurements. Head width: 0.25 mm, width between anterior pronotal angles: 0.29 mm, width between posterior pronotal angles: 0.61 mm, pronotal length: 0.33 mm, elytral length: 0.6 mm, elytral width (across widest point): 0.7 mm. - Body round, strongly convex dorsally; dorsum with visible pubescence. Colour dark reddish brown, covered with white debris. - Head. Supraorbital area with a row of prominent setae continuous along the occipital ridge. Clypeus densely setose, setae prominent. Labrum subtrapezoidal, lateral margins rounded, labral disc multisetose, with a prominent long seta (approximately 3  × as long as the remaining labral setae) on each side. Outer lateral margin of mandible setose. Mandibular apex acute, each mandible with a prominent subapical tooth; mandibular prostheca well developed. Maxillary galea round, setose, lacinia setose, with a clearly developed lacinial fringe. Lacinial hook (uncus) well developed, prominent. Terminal maxillary palpomere long and slender. Terminal labial palpomere thickened, pointed apically. Antennal scape thick. Pedicel thickened, approximately as long as antennomeres 3-5 combined. Antennomere 8 dilated. Each antennomere 3-8 with at least two prominent setae. Antennal club rounded, flattened, densely setose, sparse long setae intermingled with short denser setae, with 2 clearly visible sutures. Eyes flattened, well visible from above. - Thorax. Base of the pronotum with sparse microscopic setation (setae 20 microns long). Marginal pronotal stria present, complete. Basal margin almost rounded, slightly pointed. Scutellum invisible. Elytral base, apex and elytral disc pubescent. Setae brown, each located in a pore, separated approximately by four times of the pore diameter. Elytral flanks with shorter and denser setation. Elytral epipleuron with a single well-developed complete stria. Other striation not visible. Prosternal lobe short and broad, incised laterally for the antennal passage. Antennal cavities widely open anteriorly. Prosternal process square shaped. Prosternal striation not visible. Mesoventrite short and wide (4x wider than long). Mesoventral striation not visible. Metaventrite very large, broad, convex, with scattered irregular shallow punctures. Lateral metaventral stria absent. Post mesocoxal striae present, thin, attaining metepisternum. - Abdomen. Propygidium almost entirely covered with elytra. Pygidium covered with debris. - Legs. Profemur with a deep groove for protibial reception. Protibia very broad with short denticles along the outer margin and very short thick setae along inner margin. Protibial spur thick, prominent. Protarsal groove developed, margined by another row of prominent setae. Terminal protarsomere as long as protarsomeres 1-4 combined. Tarsal claws short, approximately one third of the terminal tarsomere length. Mesotibia slender, outer margin with relatively long sparse denticles, diminishing in size in basal direction. Inner margin with a row of short thick setae. Tarsal groove not present. Tarsal claws short, approximately one third of the terminal tarsomere length. Metatibia and metafemur largely similar to mesotibia and mesofemur. Terminal metatarsomere significantly thickened. Tarsal claws short, approximately half of the terminal metatarsomere length. </p>
            <p>Taxonomic assignment.</p>
            <p> The present species falls within the recently described genus  Yethiha Caterino, 2021 based on the strongly convex dorsum lacking striae and carinae, invisible scutellum (observed by Caterino (2021) as "tiny or absent") and broad protibia with a prominent apical spur. </p>
            <p> According to the phylogenetic analyses, genus  Yethiha proved to be a part of the  Dendrophilinae as suggested by Caterino (2021). In our analyses (Fig. 5), it was revealed as closely related to the extant  Dendrophilus Leach, 1817 and the extinct  Druantia Caterino, 2021 (Fig. 5). Future analyses would be required in order to unequivocally place  Yethiha into an existing dendrophiline tribe. </p>
            <p>Differential diagnosis.</p>
            <p> Yethiha pubescens sp. nov. differs from  Y. peregrina Caterino, 2021 by the presence of elytral and pronotal pubescence (Fig. 4F). Head pubescence is also denser and more prominent than that of  Y. peregrina . Furthermore, the present species is characterised by prominent thick setae on the inner and more robust denticles on the outer protibial margin. Meso- and metatibiae are likewise significantly more robust (Fig. 4B; width:length ratio in  Y. peregrina : mesotarsomeres 1-4: 2:5, mesotarsomere 5: 1:5, metatarsomeres 1-4: 1:2-3, metatarsomere 5: 3:10; width:length ration in  Y. pubescens : mesotarsomeres 1-4: 1:1, mesotarsomere 5: 1:2, metatarsomeres 1-4: 1:1, metatarsomere 5: 1:2). </p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p>Latin term pubescens refers to the hirsute cuticle of the species.</p>
