چکیده
The Neotropical histerid genus Ebonius Lewis, 1885 is revised. Characters are provided for the recognition of the genus and its species. All three species are illustrated and keyed and information about the collection methods is given. Ebonius can be recognized by the "U"-shaped carinal stria, sutural region of elytra concave, first abdominal sternum stria present anteriorly and laterally, and middle region of pygidium with a transverse elevation.

This species represents the third known Cretaceous histerid, which, like the others, is highly distinct and cannot easily be placed to subfamily. It exhibits prosternal characters in common with Saprininae, but other characters appear inconsistent with thi...
متن کاملCretonthophilus tuberculatus, a remarkable new genus and species of hister beetle (Coleoptera: Histeridae) from Cretaceous Burmese amber.
The early history of the beetle family Histeridae is still very obscure. In part this results from difficulty resolving phylogenetic relationships at deeper levels (Caterino & Vogler, 2002; McKenna et al., 2015a). But it is also partly a result of a sparse and poorly documented fossil record (Chatzimanolis et al., 2006). Here we describe a new genus and species of fossil histerid from Burmese a...
