Аннотация:Lophocateridae is a small cleroid beetle family historically included within Trogossitidae sensu lato. The group has a sparse fossil record, including controversial fossils from the Jurassic and the earliest unequivocal representatives from the Cretaceous. Here we describe a new lophocaterid genus and species, Zaiwa pankowskiorum gen. et sp. nov., from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. Zaiwa gen. nov. resembles members of the “Ancyronini” genus group but differs in possessing the combination of 10-segmented antennae with apical segment more than twice as long as the preceding two and somewhat crenulate pronotal margin. Zaiwa pankowskiorum gen. et sp. nov. brings the palaeodiversity of Lophocateridae in Burmese amber up to four genera and species.
