First adult of false flower beetle (Coleoptera: Scraptiidae) from mid-Cretaceous amber of northern Myanmar, with taxonomical notes and a checklist of fossil representatives of the family

Cretoscraptella crucifera gen. et sp. nov. is described as the first named representative of the tribe Allopodini (Scraptiidae) from the Mesozoic amber deposits, based on a single adult beetle inclusion in mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber, northern Myanmar (ca. 99 Ma). The systematic placement of Quasianisoxya curonensis Alekseev, 2015 (originally attributed to Melandryidae) and Samlandotoma seidlitzi Alekseev, 2019 (family incertae sedis within Tenebrionoidea) from Baltic amber are revisited.

These previously misplaced Cenozoic species are transferred to the tribe Scraptiini within Scraptiidae. A checklist of known fossil scraptiids beetles (18 described species in 9 genera) is compiled and provided.
