Taxonomic notes and new species of <i>Burmomiles </i>and <i>Sanaungulus</i> (Coleoptera, Cantharidae) from northern Myanmar during the late Mesozoic

<p dir="ltr">In this study, <i>Poinarelektronmiles</i> Fanti & Damgaard, 2020 is considered as a junior synonym of <i>Burmomiles</i> Fanti, Damgaard & Ellenberger, 2018, since no generic diagnostic differences can be found in their type species except for the elytral length, which is a yet unstable and more ecology-related character. The two hitherto known species of <i>Poinarelektronmiles</i> are transferred to<i> Burmomiles</i> or <i>Sanaungulus </i>Fanti, Damgaard & Ellenberger, 2018, including <i>B. ellenbergeri</i> (Fanti & Damgaard, 2020) comb. nov. and <i>S.</i> <i>cuaroni</i> (Bramanti & Fanti, 2022) comb. nov. Meanwhile, <i>B. dominikiweissbachi</i> (Fanti & Müller, 2022) comb. nov., <i>B.</i><i> kachinensis</i> (Fanti & Müller, 2022) comb. nov. and <i>B</i>. <i>lethi </i>(Fanti & Damgaard, 2020) comb. nov. are transferred from <i>Sanaungulus</i>. Six<i> Sanaungulus</i> species are suggested to be placed in Cantharidae <i>incertae sedis</i>, including <i>S. electrum</i> Fanti & Müller, 2022, <i>S. franziskaeweissbachae </i>Fanti & Müller, 2022, <i>S. nalae </i>Fanti & Müller, 2022, <i>S. morellii</i> Fanti & Damgaard, 2020, <i>S. rosenzweigi</i> Fanti & Damgaard, 2020 and <i>S.</i><i> ruicheni</i> (Hsiao & Huang, 2018), due to their absence of antennal appendages in males. The gender identity for <i>S. kirstenaeweissbachae </i>Fanti & Müller, 2022 and <i>S. cuaroni</i> originally defined as females are corrected into males, according to their pectinate antennae. Additionally, four new species, <i>S. marginalis</i> sp. nov., <i>S. longicornis</i> sp. nov., <i>S. elongaticollis</i> sp. nov., and <i>S. undecimus </i>sp. nov., are described and illustrated. These results will significantly complement and expand our knowledge on the Burmite cantharid diversity.</p>
