without any further fixation. The complete beetle with partially exposed metathoracic wings is in good preservation state, but poorly visible using traditional light microscopy: sufficient parts of the ventral side are covered by milky or opaque amber, and meso- and metathorax are additionally hidden by gas microvesicles, making conclusions on the structure and punctation of the ventral side problematic. Syninclusions consist of minute particles of detritus.

Due to gas vesicles attached to the ventral side of thorax, which obscured light microscopy and were not possible to remove through segmentation in the X-ray micro-CT dataset, the mesocoxae were impossible to examine. The character state “mesepimera reaching mesocoxal cavities” is inferred for the fossil, but not observed.
