This dataset contains the raw confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) slices for the holotype of Dictyorachys callidictyus (NIGP201153) from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. This dataset is associated with the publication "Dictyorachys gen. nov., an enigmatic genus of jewel beetles from mid-Cretaceous amber of northern Myanmar (Coleoptera: Buprestidae)" (DOI:10.3140/bull.geosci.1875).

Confocal images were obtained with a Zeiss LSM710 confocal laser scanning microscope, using the 561 nm (DPSS 561-10) laser excitation line. The original CZI files are provided, which could be opened by the ZEISS ZEN software.
