“…Artematopodidae are a small but widespread family in superfamily Elateroidea, with approximately 70 described extant species (Kundrata et al 2013;Gimmel & Bocakova 2015;Wang & Liu 2021). Adults of Artematopodidae can be easily recognized based on the interlocking tongue on the apicoventral region of the elytra (Lawrence 2010;Cai et al 2015).…”

Artematopodid fossils from the mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber are reported for the first time, represented by three species in two genera. Bipogonia Li, Kundrata & Cai gen. nov. with two species, B. trivialis Li, Kundrata & Cai sp. nov. and B. fortis Li, Kundrata & Cai sp. nov., is mainly characterized by the distinctly serrate antennae, mandibles with both apical and subapical teeth, and prosternum without paired longitudinal ridges. Carinibipogonia xiai Li, Kundrata & Cai gen. et sp. nov. shares with Bipogonia the distinctly serrate antennae and mandibles with both apical and subapical teeth but differs mainly in the prosternum with short paired longitudinal ridges. Based on their morphology, the two new genera might be related to the extant Allopogonia; however, this needs to be tested in the future with a phylogenetic framework.

The paper contains a review of coleopteran genera known from Baltic, Bitterfeld and Rovno amber localities. Altogether 420 genera (191 extinct and 229 extant) from 78 families are listed from these three Lagerstätten (as of 7 March 2017). The listed beetles were analyzed zoogeographically and distributional maps for 72 genera were compiled. One-quarter (56) of the genera that have survived since the Eocene have cosmopolitan ranges at present; 35 extant genera have been extripated from the Palaearctic since the Eocene. Approximately 40% of beetle genera from the middle-upper Eocene European ambers can be encountered in the wild in present-day Europe, while 5 of these genera are supposed to be European relict endemics originating in Fennosarmatia. The general similarity of the Baltic amber (s.l.) beetle assemblage to modern south Palaearctic fauna is the strongest, the Nearctic elements are more numerous in the middle-upper Eocene European ambers than the Oriental taxa. The simplified Mutual Climatic Range (MCR) method was used for palaeoclimate reconstruction based on fossil beetles. The coleopteran assemblage of Baltic amber is interpreted as indicative of warm temperate, humid, equable climate with reduced thermal seasonality [annual average temperatures range from +10–20˚C; mean of the coldest month temperatures around +10˚C; mean of the hottest month temperature around +20–24˚C; annual precipitation around 750–1500 mm]. The primary importance of high humidity for existence of the Eocene biota is pointed out.
