摘要：
Kateretid beetles are among the earliest known pollinators of angiosperms that can be traced back to the Cretaceous, but their palaeodiversity remains poorly explored due to the scarcity of fossil evidence. Here we report a new species, Pelretes bicolor sp. nov., from mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber mined in northern Myanmar. The new species is distinguished from the type species Pelretes vivificus most prominently by the elytral disc having a dull trapezoidal mark and 9 parallel punctate grooves on each elytron.
