Originally described as a member of the family Ptinidae belonging to the subfamily Dryophilinae; subsequently argued by Legalov & Legalov (2025) to be a member of the family Cerophytidae and a junior synonym of Amberophytum . [57] The type species is B. burmitica. Published online in 2025, but the issue date is listed as December 2024.

Coleopteran research

  • Bao et al. (2025) redescribe Tigrivia baii . [101]
  • Haug et al. (2025) describe new rove beetle larvae from the Cretaceous Kachin amber, compare their morphology to those of lacewing larvae from the same amber and those of extant rove beetle larvae, and interpret their findigs as suggesting that rove beetle larvae diversified after the Cretaceous and substituted the morphologies of Cretaceous lacewing larvae. [102]
  • New information on the morphology of Clidicostigus arachnipes is provided by Cao, Liu & Liu (2025). [103]
  • Sánchez et al. (2025) argue that purported brood balls of dung beetles from the Eocene La Meseta Formation (Antarctica) are not true trace fossils, and consider Patagonian trace fossils of Coprinisphaera to represent the southernmost known record of this ichnotaxon. [104]
  • Click beetle larvae belonging to the subfamily Pityobiinae and likely to the tribe Tibionemini are identified in the Cretaceous (Cenomanian) Kachin amber from Myanmar by Kundrata et al. (2025). [105]
  • Linhart et al. (2025) describe new click beetle larvae from the Kachin amber, interpreted as likely wood-associated predators, and preserving evidence of morphological differences with other insect larvae from the same habitat which might be related to ecological differences. [106]
  • A study on dermestid larvae from Cretaceous, Eocene and Miocene ambers, providing evidence of presence of longer defensive setae in extinct dermestids compared to extant ones, is published by Le Cadre et al. (2025). [107]
  • Batelka, Kundrata & Straka (2025) study the phylogenetic relationships of fossil members of Tenebrionoidea, name new families Wuhuidae, Bellimordellidae and Mirimordellidae, raise the subfamily Praemordellinae to the rank of the family, and assign Yakutia sukachevae to the new subfamily Yakutiinae within the family Mordellidae.
