Preservation status: The amber is clear but the ventral surface of the embedded beetle is completely covered by milky coating. Flowlines within the amber extend to each lateral side of the fossil. Most parts of the legs and the tip of the abdomen were abraded during polishing process and are thus lacking. Therefore, only the dorsal side of the beetle body is visible using light microscopy (Fig.
