Description
A new genus and species of Archostematan beetles, Gondvanocoleus chikatunovi n. gen. & sp., is described from an isolated elytron from the Upper Permian Belmont locality in Australia. Gondvanocoleus n. gen. differs from other members of the family Asiocoleidae in having only one row of cells in the middle part of the elytral field 3 and in having unorganized cells not forming rows near the elytral apex. Further relationships of the new genus with other asiocoleids are discussed. The fossil record of the Asiocoleidae is briefly overviewed.
