“…"Tetraphalerus" grandis better fits with Omma by the outlines of its body sclerites, than with Tetraphalerus or Allophalerus gen. nov. and, therefore, it is preliminarily put in the genus under consideration, and also "Tetraphalerus" longicollis apparently like Omma has the very narrow explanate elytral sides and prothorax clearly without lateral carinae. Ponomarenko [130] put Procarabus zitteli in Omma, but in his redescription of this species there are no reliable characteristics to support such an attribution. According to the original descriptions, Omma aberrantum has explanate elytral sides, while O. jurassicum demonstrates the narrowly explanate elytral sides; besides, O. antennarum Ponomarenko, 1997 [105] has the narrow and quadrangular prothorax (apparently with lateral carinae) and the very narrowly explanate elytral sides.…”

The paper is the first of a series, which aims to present a consistent interpretation of the suprageneric taxa of fossil beetles in the current century and their generic and species composition. Order Coleoptera is considered in composition of the superorder Coleopteroidea Handlirsch, 1903 (= Coleopterida sensu Boudreaux, 1979, nec Pearse, 1936 together with orders Skleroptera and Strepsiptera, and also with the family Umenocoleidae of unclear position. This paper includes the archostematan superfamilies Coleopseoidea and Cupedoidea of the infraorder Cupediformia, i.e., Coleopseidae (one genus and one species), Tshekardocoleidae (12 genera, 15 species), Labradorocoleidae (one genus, one species), Permocupedidae (together with Taldycupedinae, stat. nov., 24 genera and 54 species) and Cupedidae (three subfamilies, 49 genera, 253 species). The preliminary information on structure of the larva of Tshekardocoleidae from Tshekarda is done. There are also described the new taxa:Geosciences 2020, 10, 73 4 of 85 information is the web-site "FOSSILWORKS. Gateway to the paleobiology database" (fossilworks.org/) containing the information not only on many fossil taxa, but also various information on different aspects, including data on the geological circumstances of the localities where each taxon was collected, localization of specimens which gave the base for proposals of numerous fossil taxa and which were published after the description of each definite taxon included in this database, geographic and stratigraphic distribution of each taxon, summary of classification aspect of supraspecific taxa, and much other valuble information. At the moment, however, there are still many coleopterous groups remaining out of this resource and this attempt to fill some information gaps is thought to be useful for further progress of the investigation of fossil beetles. On the other hand, there are some wrong taxonomic interpretations occasionally included in the database "FOSSILWORKS". Another web-site very useful for searching general information on fossil taxa recently published is a web-series of Wikipedia "in insect paleontology" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_in_insect_paleontology) and the "Index of organism names" (http://www.organismnames.com/), however, both these sources are useful mostly for getting only basic reference data on published taxa. Having summarized these parental efforts, the author of this publication hopes that it will cause a further discussion and draw the attention of other colleagues, who, in turn, will make essential contributions to reach a good reasonable taxonomic interpretation of the fossil data on the order Coleoptera.The appearance of a great interest and very rapid increase of data on fossils during recent decades created a situation when addition of new facts occurred much faster than their conceptualization in general theoretical aspects. On the other hand, every year many papers proposing new hypotheses using fossils as a part of their base have appeared. Thus, correct interpretations of...

“…Ommatidae is a small family in the beetle suborder Archostemata, with only three extant genera, Omma Newman and Beutelius Escalona et al in Australia, and Tetraphalerus Waterhouse in South America (Hörnschemeyer & Beutel, 2016;Lawrence & Escalona, 2019;Escalona et al, 2020). Fossil records have revealed that ommatids had a much higher diversity during the Mesozoic, as well as wider distribution (Cai & Huang, 2017;Kirejtshuk, 2020). Morphologically, Ommatidae is most similar to the family Cupedidae.…”

Recent findings of ommatids from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber have greatly increased our knowledge on the Mesozoic diversity of Ommatidae. Here, we report the first distinctly miniaturized ommatid species, Miniomma chenkuni gen. et sp. nov., entombed in mid-Cretaceous amber from northern Myanmar. This new fossil species is characterized by its small body size (less than 2 mm long) and subglobular metacoxae. Our discovery of miniaturization in extinct Ommatidae suggests a high ecological diversity of this family in the Mesozoic.

“…However, the fossil insects from the Linglongta biota are poorly known. Only two species (i.e., Omma daxishanense Cai and Huang, 2016 and Sinothemis difficilis Huang, Cai, and Nel, 2018b) have been formally described from Daxishan and Guancaishan, respectively. Huang et al (2018a) illustrated abundant fossil insects with at least 16 orders from various localities of the Linglongta beds including Daxishan, Guancaishan (Muyingzi Village), and Zhuanshanzi (Nanshimen Village).…”

Cicadomorpha guancaishanensis new species, of the extinct family Palaeontinidae, is described from the Upper Jurassic Tiaojishan Formation at Guancaishan, Jianping County, Western Liaoning, northeastern China. It represents the first record of Palaeontinidae from the Tiaojishan Formation and highlights the palaeodiversity of the Late Jurassic palaeontinids. Cicadomorpha Martynov, 1926 previously included three species with extremely limited morphological differences from the Karabastau Formation of Kazakhstan, the Glushkovo Formation, and the Ukurei Formation of Chita, Transbaikalia, and Russia, indicating a correlated stratigraphic relationship. This discovery provides new evidence that closure of the Okhotsk Ocean began in the Middle Jurassic. Thus, there is no distinct geographical barrier between the southern and northern areas of Mongolia-Okhotsk Ocean in the Late Jurassic.UUID: http://zoobank.org/64531de4-070c-43d4-ae01-106d4338027b.
