A new fossil genus and species of Coreoidea (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber

A new genus Megaoptocoris gen. nov. and two new species of the fossil coreoid family Yuripopovinidae, Megaoptocoris punctatus sp. nov., and M. similis sp. nov. are described based on two well-preserved specimens from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber from northern Myanmar. The new genus is similar to Yuripopovina Azar et al., 2011, the type genus of Yuripopovinidae, and also has unique morphological characters such as large eyes and parts of the pronotal margin laminate. The main diagnostic characters of Yuripopovinidae are discussed, and the emended diagnosis is proposed.
