Abstract
Insects are the most abundant arthropods yielded from Cretaceous Burmese amber and a considerable number of inclusions with taxa belonging to 18 families of the suborder Heteroptera (bugs) are recorded to date (Ross, 2019). From bark-bug family Aradidae, nine genera and ten species are described so far: Aradoleptus birmanus Heiss, 2016, Archearadus burmensis Heiss & Grimaldi, 2001; Archearadus elongatus Heiss, 2016; Archecalisius longiventris Heiss, 2019; Calisiomorpha yuripopovi Heiss, 2016; Cretopiesma suukyiae Grimaldi & Engel, 2008; Ellenbergeria oviventris Heiss, 2016; Kachinocoris brevipennis Heiss, 2012; Microaradus anticus Heiss & Poinar, 2012; Myanmezira longicornis Heiss & Poinar, 2012 (Grimaldi & Engel, 2008; Heiss & Grimaldi, 2001; Heiss & Poinar, 2012; Heiss, 2012, 2016, 2019).
