A new genus and species of handsome fungus beetle, Glesirhanis bercioi gen. nov., sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Endomychidae: Leiestinae) is described from Baltic amber. The newly described genus is compared with all known extant and extinct genera of the subfamily. A key to the genera of Leiestinae including fossils and a checklist of fossil Endomychidae are provided. The status of two taxa previously placed in Endomychidae, Palaeoendomychus gymnus Zhang and Tetrameropsis mesozoica Kirejtshuk & Azar, is discussed, and a new status for the latter, elevating it to the family-level as Tetrameropseidae status nov., is proposed.
从波罗的海琥珀中描述了一种新的英俊菌甲属及物种,即贝氏格莱西尔菌甲Glesirhanis bercioi gen. nov., sp. nov.(鞘翅目:菌甲科:莱氏菌甲亚科)。将新描述的属与该亚科所有已知的现存和已灭绝属进行了比较。提供了包括化石在内的莱氏菌甲亚科属的检索表以及化石菌甲科的清单。讨论了之前置于菌甲科的两个分类单元,即张氏裸古菌甲Palaeoendomychus gymnus和中生四节菌甲Tetrameropsis mesozoica Kirejtshuk & Azar的分类地位,并对后者提出了新的分类地位,即将其提升至科级,为新的四节菌甲科Tetrameropseidae status nov.。
