“…The choice of fossils for dating the origin of lineages is critical. The fossil record of Chrysomeloidea is mostly from the Cenozoic, which is too recent for reliable age estimates of the early lineages (Santiago‐Blay, 1994; Kirejtshuk & Ponomarenko, 2013), while Mesozoic fossils are rare (Reid, 1995; Zhang, 2005; Gómez‐Zurita et al ., 2007; Kirejtshuk et al ., 2010; Kirejtshuk & Ponomarenko, 2013). So far, only two Mesozoic fossils are known which can be confidently attributed to Chrysomeloidea.…”

Cerambycidae (longhorn beetles) and related families in the superfamily Chrysomeloidea are important components of forest ecosystems and play a key role in nutrient cycling and pollination. Using full mitochondrial genomes and dense taxon sampling, the phylogeny of Chrysomeloidea with a focus on Cerambycidae and allied families was explored. We used 151 mitochondrial genomes (75 newly sequenced) covering all families and 29 subfamilies of Chrysomeloidea. Our results reveal that (i) Chrysomelidae (leaf beetles) are sister to all other chrysomeloid families; (ii) Cerambycidae sensu stricto (s. s.) is polyphyletic due to the inclusion of other families that split Cerambycidae into a ‘lamiine’ clade comprising Lepturinae sensu lato (s. l.) + (Lamiinae + Spondylidinae) and a ‘cerambycine’ clade comprising Dorcasominae + (Cerambycinae + Prioninae s. l.); (iii) the subfamilies within the two clades of Cerambycidae s. s. were monophyletic, except for the placement of Necydalinae nested in Lepturinae, and the placement of Parandrinae within Prioninae (now considered as tribes Necydalini and Parandrini, respectively); (iv) smaller families were grouped into two major clades: one composed of Disteniidae+Vesperidae and the other composed of Orsodacnidae + (Megalopodidae + Oxypeltidae); (v) relationships among the four major clades were poorly supported but were resolved as ((cerambycines + (Disteniidae + Vesperidae) + Orsodacnidae + (Megalopodidae + Oxypeltidae)) + lamiines. Divergence time analyses estimated that Chrysomeloidea originated ca. 154.1 Mya during the late Jurassic, and most subfamilies of Cerambycidae originated much earlier than subfamilies of Chrysomelidae. The diversification of families within Chrysomeloidea was largely coincident with the radiation of angiosperms during the Early Cretaceous.

“…Remarks: The taxon 'Triamixidae' was proposed as a separate family among the suborder Myxophaga [26], based on characters from the list compiled by Lawrence et al [20] and thanks to computer software for producing cladograms interpreted as follows: 'Bayesian analyses of Coleoptera and Myxophaga datasets with constrained molecular topology suggest a sister group relationship with the entire modern Myxophaga. Maximum parsimony analyses place it either in an unresolved basal polytomy (analyses with constrained molecular topology…) or as sister to Hydroscaphidae (unconstrained analyses)'.…”

“…2757/1, demonstrating the most part of its body, although the right part of the pro-and pterothoraces, abdominal apex, and appendages are missing (except for the observable right anterior trochanter, femur and tibia). The pictures of the holotype were published by Kirejtshuk & Ponomarenko [20] and Ponomarenko & Prokin [34].…”

“…Recently one hydroscaphid specimen was found in materials in sediments from Tunguska Basin, Krasnoyarsky Kray (tentatively dated around the boundary between the Permian and Triassic). The suborder Myxophaga sensu stricto has only a few fossil records [3,4,8,9,12,13,15,16,18,19,26,34], which need to be reviewed and discussed to clarify the composition of this group in the past. The paper is aimed to describe the oldest fossil myxophagan representative (Paleoscapha tunguskaensis gen. et sp.…”

Palaeoscapha tunguskaensisgen. et sp. nov., the oldest representative of the family Hydroscaphidae, is described from the Tunguska Basin in Siberia, dated from the boundary of the Permian and Triassic. It is assigned to the subfamily Triamyxinae, stat. nov. New diagnoses of the Hydroscaphidae and Triamyxinae are proposed. The new subfamily Leehermaniinae subfam. nov.(type genus Leehermania) is erected. The fossil record of the suborder Myxophaga is reviewed and revised with some taxonomic notes and synonymy of some generic and species names in the family Lepiceridae, known from Burmese amber. Different aspects of the evolutionary history of this suborder are discussed. A synonymy of Haplochelus and Lepiceratusis proposed.

“…The cucujoid family Passandridae Blanchard, 1845 is represented by somewhat more than one hundred of species of nine genera in the extant fauna mostly from tropical and subtropical territories (Jin et al, 2019), with a reduced fossil record (Menge, 1856;Klebs, 1910;Kirejtshuk & Ponomarenko, 2019;etc.). All recent members of this family seem to be associated with wood; the larvae are known as ectoparasites on wood-inhabiting insect larvae or pupae, such as longhorn beetles, bark and ambrosia beetles, weevils, and hymenopterans.…”
