<i>Domipteron</i>, a new genus of Calopterini from Miocene Dominican amber (Coleoptera: Elateroidea: Lycidae)
Abstract A new fossil of Lycidae, Domipteron gaoi n. gen. n. sp., is described from Miocene Dominican amber. The fossil exhibits a combination of characteristics found in both Calopterini and Eurrhacini. To determine its systematic placement, we conducted phylogenetic analyses based on adult morphological features. Our analyses indicate that the new fossil belongs to Calopterini.
