“…Most Mesozoic artematopodids show a striking resemblance with the extant subfamily Artematopodinae and have been recovered as closely related to the extant genera Brevipogon Lawrence and Ctesibius in phylogenetic analyses (Cai et al, 2020). Representatives of the subfamily Electribiinae are further known from Eocene Baltic and Miocene Mexican ambers (Crowson, 1973;Hörnschemeyer, 1998;Wu et al, 2015), while fossils resembling the subfamily Allopogoniinae date to the Cretaceous (Li et al, 2022).…”

Early Cretaceous Wealden amber of the Isle of Wight (early Barremian, ~125 Ma) represents one of the oldest known fossiliferous ambers. Here we describe the first fossil beetle from the deposit, and first British coleopteran amber inclusion, the artematopodid Valdopogon simpsoni gen. et sp. nov. Despite its fragmentary nature, the fossil possesses a puzzling combination of characters unseen in modern Artematopodidae, namely equally long abdominal ventrites I and II, concave sutures between ventrites I–V, and absence of elytral striation. Valdopogon contributes to our understanding of the morphological evolution of this once diverse group of elateroid beetles.

“…Most fossils of Artematopodidae were reported from the Eocene Baltic amber (Crowson 1973;Hörnschemeyer 1998;Háva 2015). A species of Electribius was reported from the Miocene Mexican amber (Wu et al 2015). Cai et al (2015) reported the earliest artematopodid fossil, Sinobrevipogon Cai et al, from the Middle Jurassic Daohugou beds in Northeast China.…”

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 fossil record of artematopodids is sparse, with most species described from the Eocene/Oligocene Baltic amber (Crowson 1973;Hörnschemeyer 1998). Nevertheless, in the past few years, definitive artematopodid fossils have also been reported from the Middle-Late Jurassic Daohugou biota (Cai et al 2015), the Early Cretaceous Jehol biota (Cai et al 2020), and the Miocene Mexican amber (Wu et al 2015). Here we re-examine two fossil specimens from the Lower Cretaceous of South China, which were assigned to the archostematan genus Notocupes Ponomarenko by Lin (1980), i.e., Notocupes undatabdominus and N. ?…”

Artematopodidae is a small family with approximately 70 described extant species (Gimmel & Bocakova 2015), occupying a basal position in the superfamily Elateroidea (McKenna et al. 2019). The fossil record of artematopodids is sparse, with most species described from the Eocene/Oligocene Baltic amber (Crowson 1973;Hörnschemeyer 1998). Nevertheless, in the past few years, definitive artematopodid fossils have also been reported from the Middle-Late Jurassic Daohugou biota (Cai et al. 2015), the Early Cretaceous Jehol biota (Cai et al. 2020), and the Miocene Mexican amber (Wu et al. 2015). Here we re-examine two fossil specimens from the Lower Cretaceous of South China, which were assigned to the archostematan genus Notocupes Ponomarenko by Lin (1980), i.e., Notocupes undatabdominus and N. ? multituberatus. Our new observation suggests that both specimens do not belong to Notocupes. Notocupes undatabdominus could belong to the polyphagan family Artematopodidae, and Notocupes multituberatus probably belongs to Lasiosynidae.
