Prosinodendron krelli白、任、杨根。ET sp.11月本文描述了辽宁省西部中国东北部义县组中发现的一种保存极为完好的新的绿甲科化石--金龟总科。基于其独特的特征组合，它被认为是Lucanidae、双叶口科和Passalidae之间缺失的一环。给出了中生代已知的鹿科及其邻近科化石种检索表。化石证据支持金枪鱼总科这三个科之间的亲缘关系。(C)2011爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Prosinodendron krelli Bai, Ren and Yang gen. et sp. nov. (Scarabaeoidea: Lucanidae), an exceptionally well-preserved, new lucanid fossil, is described and illustrated from the Yixian Formation of western Liaoning Province, northeastern China. Based on its unique combination of characters, it is considered to be a missing link among Lucanidae, Diphyllostomatidae and Passalidae. A key to known fossil species of Lucanidae and adjacent families from Mesozoic is given. The close phylogenetic relationship of these three families of the Scarabaeoidea is supported by the fossil evidence. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
