G. & Ponomarenko, A. G. 1990: 82 (: Meligethiellinae ). Type species. Ostomalynus ovalis Kireichuk & Ponomarenko, 1990 (by monotypy and original designation) Kolibac , J. 2006: 126 ( Thymalini ). Ponomarenko, A. G. & Kireichuk, A. G. 2005-2008: http://www.zin.ru/animalia/Coleoptera/rus/paleosy2.htm. Schmied, H. et al. 2009: 25 Remarks. The genus was described in Meligethiellinae by Kireichuk & Ponomarenko (1990) and latter shifted to Thymalini by ( Kolibac 2006 , Schmied et al. 2009 ). It is apparently related to Meligethiella , so both genera must be removed together from Trogossitidae and Cleroidea . Original description. " Body oviform, strongly narrowed posteriorly. Pronotum short, five times shorter than elytra, prothorax very short, nearly lenticular, with strong longitudinal keel along centre, middle coxae widely separated, anterior part of mesothorax with groove for apex of prosternal process, elytra reaching behind end of abdomen, dorsally with thin lines beneath them longitudinal rows of punctures can be visible. [Measurements: length 5.3, width 2.8 mm.]" Distribution. Russia: Transbaikalia, Chitinskaya oblast, Nerchinsko-Zavodskoy district, Pavlovka village.
