 Of the 12 specimens of Calathus-like sphodrine beetles presently known from Baltic and Rovno amber deposits, 11 specimens were investigated using light microscopy, micro-CT scanning, and 3D imaging techniques. For the first time, many significant diagnostic characters of the external morphology and male and female genitalia of Eocene Sphodrini were studied in detail. Based on these data, three fossil species are diagnosed and placed in a natural group characterized by a derived pattern in elytral chaetotaxy and microsculpture and therefore the genus Quasicalathus Schmidt & Will, gen. nov. is described to comprise these species. Due to the presence of a styloid right paramere, Quasicalathus gen. nov. is considered a member of the sphodrine “P clade” of Ruiz et al. (2009). However, given the absence of synapomorphies of any species group of the P clade, the systematic position of Quasicalathus gen. nov. within this clade remains unresolved. The Baltic amber species Calathus elpis Ortuño & Arillo, 2009 is redescribed based on additional, fossil, non-holotype material and transferred to Quasicalathus gen. nov. Identification of the additional C. elpis fossil material remains slightly uncertain due to the non-availability of the holotype for direct comparison coupled with doubts regarding the accuracy of certain character states presented in its original description. Two species are newly described: Quasicalathus agonicollis Schmidt & Will, sp. nov., from Baltic amber, and Q. conservans Schmidt & Will, sp. nov., from Rovno amber.

使用光学显微镜、显微 CT 扫描和 3D 成像对始新世磷灰石化石(鞘翅目、Carabidae)进行特征分析和描述

 在波罗的海和罗夫诺琥珀矿床目前已知的 12 个类似长须藤的磷碱甲虫标本中,使用光学显微镜、显微 CT 扫描和 3D 成像技术对 11 个标本进行了研究。首次详细研究了始新世Sphodrini的外部形态和雄性和雌性生殖器的许多重要诊断特征。根据这些数据,诊断出三种化石物种并将其置于一个自然群中,其特征是在鞘翅毛虫学和微雕中具有衍生模式,因此属于 Quasicalathus Schmidt & Will, gen。十一月 被描述为包括这些物种。由于存在茎突右侧参数,Quasicalathus gen。十一月 被认为是 Ruiz 等人的磷酸盐“P 进化枝”的成员。(2009 年)。然而,鉴于没有任何 P 进化枝的物种群的突触,Quasicalathus gen 的系统位置。十一月 在这个进化枝内仍未解决。波罗的海琥珀物种 Calathus elpis Ortuño & Arillo, 2009 基于额外的化石非正模材料重新描述,并转移到 Quasicalathus gen。十一月 由于无法获得用于直接比较的正模模型,以及对其原始描述中呈现的某些特征状态的准确性的怀疑,额外的 C. elpis 化石材料的鉴定仍然有些不确定。新描述了两个物种:Quasicalathus agonicollis Schmidt & Will, sp。十一月,来自波罗的海琥珀和 Q. conservans Schmidt & Will, sp。十一月,来自罗夫诺琥珀。在这个进化枝内仍未解决。波罗的海琥珀物种 Calathus elpis Ortuño & Arillo, 2009 基于额外的化石非正模材料重新描述,并转移到 Quasicalathus gen。十一月 由于无法获得用于直接比较的正模模型,以及对其原始描述中呈现的某些特征状态的准确性的怀疑,额外的 C. elpis 化石材料的鉴定仍然有些不确定。新描述了两个物种:Quasicalathus agonicollis Schmidt & Will, sp。十一月,来自波罗的海琥珀和 Q. conservans Schmidt & Will, sp。十一月,来自罗夫诺琥珀。在这个进化枝内仍未解决。波罗的海琥珀物种 Calathus elpis Ortuño & Arillo, 2009 基于额外的化石非正模材料重新描述,并转移到 Quasicalathus gen。十一月 由于无法获得用于直接比较的正模模型,以及对其原始描述中呈现的某些特征状态的准确性的怀疑,额外的 C. elpis 化石材料的鉴定仍然有些不确定。新描述了两个物种:Quasicalathus agonicollis Schmidt & Will, sp。十一月,来自波罗的海琥珀和 Q. conservans Schmidt & Will, sp。十一月,来自罗夫诺琥珀。额外的 C. elpis 化石材料的鉴定由于无法直接比较正模标本以及对其原始描述中呈现的某些特征状态的准确性的怀疑,仍然存在一些不确定性。新描述了两个物种:Quasicalathus agonicollis Schmidt & Will, sp。十一月,来自波罗的海琥珀和 Q. conservans Schmidt & Will, sp。十一月,来自罗夫诺琥珀。由于无法获得用于直接比较的正模模型,以及对其原始描述中呈现的某些特征状态的准确性的怀疑,额外的 C. elpis 化石材料的鉴定仍然有些不确定。新描述了两个物种:Quasicalathus agonicollis Schmidt & Will, sp。十一月,来自波罗的海琥珀和 Q. conservans Schmidt & Will, sp。十一月,来自罗夫诺琥珀。
