The second species of the extinct genus Burmalestes Tomaszewska & lipiski, B. jingruoyaae Li & Cai sp. nov., is reported from mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber of northern Myanmar. The new species shares characters with both Burmalestes (antennomere 5 elongate and procoxae subcontiguous) and Cretaparamecus Tomaszewska et al. (protibiae toothed and pronotum without basolateral sulci), providing valuable information on the morphological variability of this group.
