Аннотация:The click beetles (Elateridae) originated in the Mesozoic and recently form a relativelylarge family with approximately 10,000 described species worldwide. However, the Mesozoic, andparticularly Cretaceous, click beetle fauna remains very poorly known. Here we describe Burmogonuscretaceus gen. et sp. nov. based on a single, relatively well-preserved, specimen from the mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. This species can be assigned with confidence to the subfamily Elaterinae,and based on the supra-antennal carinae being incomplete across the head and directed to the labrum,the shape of metacoxal plates, and simple tarsi, we tentatively place it in the tribe Elaterini. Wediscuss the morphology of a new genus and other Elaterinae described from Burmese amber.
