“…The locality at the time was characterized by a subtropical/warm temperate and temperate climate (Kvaček et al 2004). The insect fauna at Bílina Mine includes more than 350 specimens of terrestrial and aquatic groups assigned to 31 families in 11 orders ( e.g ., Prokop and Nel 2000, Prokop 2003, Fikáček et al 2008), with specimens of Hymenoptera, particularly ants, being most prevalent (Prokop and Nel 2003, Wappler et al 2014). In addition, the overlaying deposits at Bílina Mine have been studied intensively for their remarkably well-preserved record of plant-arthropod interactions ( e.g ., Prokop et al 2010, Knor et al 2012, 2013).…”

A new species of fossil bumble bee (Apinae: Bombini) is described and figured from Early Miocene (Burdigalian) deposits of the Most Basin at the Bílina Mine, Czech Republic. Bombus trophonius sp. n., is placed within the subgenus Cullumanobombus Vogt and distinguished from the several species groups therein. The species is apparently most similar to the Nearctic B. (Cullumanobombus) rufocinctus Cresson, the earliest-diverging species within the clade and the two may be related only by symplesiomorphies. The age of the fossil is in rough accordance with divergence estimations for Cullumanobombus.

“…When all these species with uncertain or ambiguous status are not considered, the fossil record of the Hydrophilidae is in fact rather poor and does not date back further than the Eocene. Moreover, all Tertiary fossils belong to extant genera and thus already represent the modern fauna (Fikáček, Hájek & Prokop, ; Fikáček et al ., 2010a; Fikáček, Prokop & Nel, 2010c; Fikáček & Engel, ; Fikáček & Schmied, ; M. Fikáček & M. S. Engel, unpubl. data).…”

We present a summary of the fossil evidence documenting the worldwide occurrence of the family Hydrophilidae (Insecta: Coleoptera: Polyphaga: Hydrophiloidea) in the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous. We present the first known fossils of the family from the Mesozoic, being c. 100 Myr older than the fossil record available until now. Two Late Jurassic fossils are documented: Protochares brevipalpis gen. nov., sp. nov. from the Talbragar Fish Bed (New South Wales, Australia) and ‘Mesosperchus’ schultzi Ponomarenko, 1985 from Solnhofen (Bavaria, Germany). The occurrence of the Hydrophilidae in the Early Cretaceous is documented by six species, all of which may be already assigned to modern subfamilies/tribes: Baissalarva hydrobioides gen. nov., sp. nov. from the Baissa outcrops (Buryat Republic, Russia) and Cretoxenus australis gen. nov., sp. nov. from Koonwarra outcrops (Victoria, Australia) are both assigned to the tribe Hydrobiusini (Hydrophilinae); Alegorius yixianus gen. nov., sp. nov. and Alegorius sp. from the Yixian Formation (Liaoning, China) may represent the Acidocerinae or Enochrinae, Hydroyixia elongata gen. nov., sp. nov. and H. latissima sp. nov. from the same locality are assigned to the Acidocerinae. The phylogenetic position of Baissalarva hydrobioides is also tested by a phylogenetic analysis. The presence of extant clades (Hydrophilinae: Hydrobiusini, Acidocerinae) in the Early Cretaceous and the wide distribution of the Hydrobiusini in both Gondwana and Laurasia at the same time suggests that the principal extant clades of the Hydrophilidae are at least of Early–Middle Jurassic origin. © 2014 The Linnean Society of London

“…There are many New Cenozoic fossil findings of taxa closely related to Sternolophus in Europe and North America (e.g. Fikáček et al 2008, 2010a, 2010b), whereas the only record of this genus is a dubious fossil likely belonging to S. rufipes from the Early Pliocene of the Tsubusagawa Formation in Japan (Hayashi et al 2003). The current distribution of Sternolophus in the Old World, i.e.…”

The phylogeny of the hydrophilid genus Sternolophus Solier, 1834 was examined in this study using 60 morphological adult characters, eight of them continuous and 52 discrete. The cladistic analysis resulted in a single most parsimonious tree with two major subclades corresponding, respectively, to species previously assigned to the subgenera Sternolophus s. str. Solier and Neosternolophus Zaitzev, although they are not re-instated. The species groups S. angolensis (Erichson, 1843) and S. solieri Castelnau, 1840 are recovered as monophyletic. The biogeography and diversification of the species of Sternolophus are briefly discussed.
