Heteroptera Aradidae

Abstract

The mid-Cretaceous amber deposits of Kachin State in Northern Myanmar have yielded to date a plethora of biological inclusions (Ross, 2019, 2021, 2022). Among them, the heteropteran flat bug family Aradidae is represented by ten genera and 13 species: Aradoleptus Heiss, 2016 (one sp.); Archeaneurus Heiss, 2019 (one sp.); Archearadus Heiss & Grimaldi, 2001 (two sp.); Archecalisius Heiss, 2019 (one sp.); Calisiomorpha Heiss 2016 (one sp.); Cretopiesma Grimaldi & Engel, 2008 (four sp.); Ellenbergeria Heiss, 2016 (one sp.); Kachinocoris Heiss, 2012 (one sp.); Myanmezira Heiss & Poinar, 2012 (one sp.); Pachytylaradus Heiss, 2022 (one sp.) (Heiss & Grimaldi, 2001; Grimaldi & Engel, 2008; Heiss, 2012, 2016, 2019a, b, 2022; Heiss & Poinar, 2012; Azar et al., 2020).
