| description | <i>Captopus depressiceps</i><b>gen. et sp. nov.</b>, <i>Electrothroscus yanpingae</i><b>gen. et sp. nov.</b> and <i>Pseudopactopus robustus</i><b>gen. et sp. nov.</b> are reported from the mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. These new findings greatly extend the Mesozoic diversity of Throscidae, which implies a high degree of morphological disparity for this family in the Cretaceous. |
