Abstract

Among the scarce Mesozoic fossils, protoischnurid scorpions (Arachnida: Scorpiones: Protoischnuridae) represent a Cretaceous extinct group. In this study, we present the description of a new protoischnurid fossil, assigned to the genus Cretaceoushormiops Loureno, from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. Distinguished by a median suture and a comparatively short anterior margin in its carapace, the new specimen differs from all other species within Cretaceoushormiops. Our discovery sheds further light on the high diversity of mid-Cretaceous scorpions.

摘要

在稀少的中生代化石中，原伊蚊蝎（蛛形纲：蝎目：原伊蚊科）代表了一个已灭绝的白垩纪群体。在这项研究中，我们描述了一种新的原伊蚊蝎化石，属于白垩纪 hormiops 属，来自缅甸中部白垩纪琥珀。与其他所有 hormiops 属物种不同，新标本的背甲具有中央缝合线和相对较短的前缘。我们的发现进一步揭示了白垩纪中期蝎子的高度多样性。
