Abstract A new genus and species of fossil whip spider (Chelicerata: Amblypygi), Burmacharon dunlopi gen. et sp. nov., is described from mid-Cretaceous Kachin (Burmese) amber of Myanmar. The new genus can be distinguished from the genus Kronocharon by the anterior margin of the carapace being slightly procurved (projected forwards and slightly rounded), and the opisthosoma is rather elongate, almost twice as long as wide. Burmacharon dunlopi is the fourth species of Cretaceous amber whip spider. Our find adds some novel information to the knowledge of the morphological and taxonomic palaeodiversity of Mesozoic whip spiders.

白垩纪中期克钦琥珀中的一种新鞭蛛（Arachnida：Amblypygi）

摘要 化石鞭蛛（Chelicerata：Amblypygi）的一个新属和种，Burmacharon dunlopi gen。等 sp. 11 月，来自缅甸的中白垩世克钦（缅甸）琥珀。新属与克罗诺卡龙属的区别在于，甲壳的前缘略微前倾（向前突出并略微变圆），并且背甲相当拉长，宽度几乎是其两倍。Burmacharon dunlopi 是白垩纪琥珀鞭蛛的第四种。我们的发现为中生代鞭蛛的形态和分类古多样性知识增加了一些新信息。
