Abstract
Since the beginning of the 21st century the rich amber deposits in Kachin State in Northern Myanmar, famous for their excellently preserved biotic inclusions, attracted the interest of scientists (Grimaldi et al., 2002; Ross, 2019). Hundreds of arthropod taxa were described since, including five genera and six species of the lacebug family Tingidae: Spinitingis ellenbergeri, Burmacader multivenosus (Heiss & Guilbert, 2013); Tingiometra burmanica (Heiss et al., 2015); Burmacader lativentris (Heiss & Guilbert, 2018); Paraphatnomacader huarongcheni, Tingiphatnoma bispinosa (Guilbert & Heiss, 2018).
