Cantharis michaeli sp. nov. is described and illustrated from Upper Eocene Rovno amber from Ukraine.

A new fossil Silis Charpentier, 1825 from Baltic amber (Cantharidae, Silinae, Silini).

A new fossil species of the family Cantharidae from Eocene Baltic amber, Silis (Silis) boninoi sp. nov., is described, diagnosed and illustrated.

A new species of Afrodiaphanes Geisthardt, 2007 (Coleoptera, Lampyridae), the first firefly described from the Central African Republic.

A new species of firefly, Afrodiaphanes pulcher sp. nov., is described, diagnosed and illustrated.

Two new fossil species of soldier beetles (Coleoptera, Cantharidae, Malthininae) from Baltic amber.

Two new species of soldier beetles from the subfamily MalthininaeMalthinus masoni sp. nov. and Malthodes markpankowskii sp.

Two new species of soldier beetles (Coleoptera, Cantharidae), the first from the tribe Silini in Dominican amber.

The Silinae is the most frequently observed subfamily of soldier beetles (Insecta, Coleoptera, Cantharidae) living today in Hispaniola (the Dominican Republic and Haiti). This subfamily also was recently found in Dominican amber with the discovery of the genus Tytthonyx (Silinae, Tytthonyxini). Here we describe and illustrate two new species of this subfamilythe first representatives of the tribe Silini and genus Silis in Dominican amber.

The first new genus of the tribe Hypulini Seidlitz (Coleoptera: Melandryidae) described from late Eocene Baltic amber.

A new extinct monotypic genus of the false darkling beetles, Madelinia gedanoposita gen. et sp. nov.

A new Eocene soldier beetle (Cantharidae) of the genus †Cacomorphocerus Schaufuss, 1892 from Baltic amber.

Recent studies of extinct soldier beetles have generated an immense amount of new information. Scientists have described various new species of †Cacomorphocerus Schaufuss, 1892, confirming the remarkable diversification and evolution of this genus and the Cantharidae family during the Eocene. In the present work, we describe a new species from Baltic amber.

Two new species of Cantharis Linnaeus, 1758 from Baltic amber.

Two new species of soldier beetles (Coleoptera, Cantharidae) from the Priabonian deposits in Yantarny, Russia (Baltic amber) are described. Cantharis crisantha sp. nov.
