In intact extant adults of Stenichnini, the foveae are either situated on the elytral articulating lobe (and then partly or completely covered by the pronotal base), or on the discal region, just behind the transverse ridge or step-wise border between the articulating lobe and the disc (and then fully exposed). When the basal foveae are situated on the articulating lobe, usually a pair of impressions, or (less frequently) one impression on the base of the elytral disc marks their placement. One such an impression was observed in the holotype of † Loeblitoides separatus, and therefore this character state was interpreted as a single basal fovea. In the new species described below, the pronotal base exposes not only the elytral articulating lobe, but also the scutellar shield, both structures in intact beetles hidden under the posterior prothoracic margin that overlaps with the elytral base.</p><p>The diagnosis of † Loeblitoides must be modified to correct the misinterpreted number of the basal elytral foveae, their previously unknown structure, and the newly observed scutellar shield, as follows: each elytron with a pair of asetose basal foveae connected by an inversely U-shaped groove extending onto elytral articulating lobe; and the scutellar shield distinctly elongate, only its very tip exceeding posteriorly the border between the elytral articulating lobe and the elytral disc, but this portion is too small to be observable in intact specimens.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/DD22F04CCE43A51CF08D409EFAD2F81A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Holotype: (MYANMAR): sex unknown, label: “ Myanmar amber / GPIH no. 5076 / (coll. Carsten Gröhn, CCHH 11930) / LOEBLITOIDES / latus Jałoszyński &amp; Szawaryn, 2024 / HOLOTYPUS ” [red, printed] (GPIH).</p><p>Diagnosis. Body stout, with pronotal length / width clearly below 1.5 and the elytral length / width below 1.7; antennomere 3 about 3 times as long as broad in lateral view; antennomeres 8‒10 each about as long as broad.</p><p>Description. Body (Figs 1, 8–10, 12–13; Supplementary animation 1) moderately slender, strongly convex, dark brown, length 2.33 mm, constriction between head and pronotum deep, between pronotum and elytra shallow but distinct.</p><p>Head (Figs 3, 14–19) flattened; length 0.50 mm, width 0.35 mm; vertex strongly transverse and weakly, evenly convex; tempora weakly rounded, strongly convergent posteriorly, about as long as eye (best visible in Fig. 13); frons posteriorly confluent with vertex, transverse, its anterior margin with broad and short anteromedian expansion over frontoclypeal groove; supra-antennal tubercles weakly elevated; clypeus subtrapezoidal, distinctly transverse, weakly convex, weakly narrowing anterad, on entire width demarcated posteriorly by deep and sharply marked frontoclypeal groove; compound eyes large, strongly convex, moderately finely faceted. Punctures on vertex and frons poorly visible, setae on dorsal surface of head sparse and short, suberect. Maxillary palps (Fig. 5) with strongly elongate, slender palpomere 3 and with strongly elongate subconical and pointed palpomere 4.</p><p>Antennae (Figs 2–4, 8) slender, weakly and gradually broadening from antennomere 1 to 10, length 1.23 mm. Antennomeres 3–5 each with conspicuous mesal spine inserted on distinct projection or papilla, also antennomere 6 with similar seta; antennomeres 1–6 each distinctly elongate, with antennomere 3 longest, about 3 times as long as broad in lateral view (not counting mesal tubercle), antennomere 7 indistinctly elongate, 8–10 each about as long as broad, 11 minute, tightly sitting on apex of 10.</p><p>Pronotum (Figs 2, 9) distinctly but not strongly elongate, broadest near anterior 1/4, length 0.58 mm, width 0.40 mm, pronotal index (length/width) 1.44. Anterior margin and sides in anterior fourth strongly, evenly rounded, lateral margins broadly and very shallowly concave behind middle; posterior corners well-marked, nearly rightangled, blunt; posterior margin nearly straight. Basal pronotal cavity poorly visible, presumably filled with dirt, about as long as half-length of pronotum and as wide as about 1/3 of pronotal width. Lateral impressions on pronotal disc strongly elongate and sharply demarcated. Punctures on pronotal disc indiscernible, setae short and sparse, suberect.</p><p>Elytra (Figs 1, 2, 8–10, 12) together oval, broadest slightly in front of middle; length 1.25 mm, width 0.75 mm, elytral index (length/width) 1.67; elytral apices rounded together; humeral calli poorly developed, basal elytral impressions shallow, each elytron with two deep and asetose basal foveae connected by inversely U-shaped deep groove convex anteriorly (Fig. 9). Punctures fine and inconspicuous; elytra covered with long, dense suberect setae.</p><p>Mesoscutellar shield (Fig. 9) elongate subtriangular, only its very tip projecting posteriorly beyond step-wise border between elytral articulating lobe and elytral disc.</p><p>Legs slender and lacking peculiar characters except for protibiae (Fig. 10; best visible in right tibia) slightly curved inwards (i.e., mesally) in distal regions; all tarsi with tarsomeres distally reducing in length (Fig. 6) and with long claws (Fig. 7).</p><p>Etymology. The Latin adjective latus, broad, refers to the much stouter body of this species than in the previously known † Loeblites separatus .</p><p>Distribution. Hukawng Valley near Tanai village, Kachin State, northern Myanmar; late Albian-early Cenomanian, mid-Cretaceous.</p><p>Remarks. † Loeblitoides latus can be easily distinguished from † L. separatus by its stouter pronotum and elytra, and different proportions of antennomeres. In † L. latus, the pronotal ratio length/width is merely 1.44 (vs. 2.00 in † L. separatus), and the elytral ratio equals 1.67 (vs. 2.08 in † L. separatus). The antennomere 3 in the new species is clearly more elongate, while antennomeres 7‒10 are much stouter, each almost as long as broad (each clearly elongate in † L. separatus). The differences in proportions of the pronotum and elytra cannot be attributed to a different sex of the same species, as such profound differences are not known to characterize sexes in any known extant Stenichnini species. Also, the shapes of antennomeres in otherwise unmodified antennae are too different to represent sexual dimorphism (which in extant Stenichnini is either not expressed in antennal features or evident by some conspicuously modified antennomeres in males). † Loeblitoides latus has also a distinctly broader neck region than that in the slenderer † L. separatus . Still, the neck is slightly narrower than half width of the head (including eyes), and therefore the generic diagnosis does not need to be modified to include this variation.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/DD22F04CCE42A519F08D41A2FB17FE8F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
