来自弹甲科的化石点击甲虫在中生代沉积物中很常见，特别是在俄罗斯和中国。为了了解它们与现存物种的关系，我们需要寻找将这些古代甲虫与现存形式联系起来的进化重要特征。我们发现，大约三分之一的可识别的点击甲虫描述的中生代中国存款实际上是其他相关的家庭的成员。我们的研究结果加强了这样一种观点，即这些甲虫群的年龄比通常假设的要大得多，存在于早侏罗世。这是一个重要的结果，因为它表明基于现代物种的分子研究并不能取代古生物学，即使在未来，两者都是需要的。最近的分子研究表明，叩甲科，Eucnemidae，Throscidae和Cerophytidae在侏罗纪进化，并在白垩纪多样化。这些研究很少关注化石，仅将其用作测年工具。弹蛛科化石的鉴定是具有挑战性的，因为这个科的外部突触形态尚不清楚。弹蛛科只能被识别为不属于其他相关科的东西，所有这些科都有诊断性的共形。然而，弹蛛科的大多数亚科和族确实具有明确的特征，这使得它们的鉴定是可行的。本文对中国中生代沉积物中描述的28个弹甲科化石进行了核对。十二个是Elateridae，七个是Eucnemidae，一个是Throscidae。其中3种可能为真甲科，但表现出异常特征。有5个种无法定位，可能根本不属于Elateroidea。根据这些结果，我们建议所有以前描述的Elateridae化石应该重新检查。应在它们中寻找定义Eucnemidae、Throscidae和Cerophytidae的共形。如果这些特征不存在，则可以将点击甲虫类型的化石置于Elateroidae incertae sedis中。中国中生代的弹甲科化石都属于今天不存在的分支，而中生代的Eucnemidae亚科是现存的。这可能是Elateridae化石年龄与基于分子研究的测年结果不一致的根源。一个新的组合被制作出来：Desmatus ponomarenkoi（Chang，Kirejshuk & Ren，2009）新组合（= Paradesmatus ponomarenkoi Chang，Kirejtshuk & Ren，2009）。
Fossil click beetles from the family Elateridae are frequent in Mesozoic deposits, especially in Russia and China. In order to understand their relationship to extant species, we need to search for evolutionary important characters that unite these dinosaur-era beetles with extant forms. We show that about one third of the identifiable click-beetles described from Mesozoic Chinese deposits are in fact members of other related families. Our results strengthen the view that these beetle groups are significantly older than often assumed, being present in the Early Jurassic. This is an important result as it indicates that molecular studies based on modern species do not replace paleontology—both are needed, even in the future. Recent molecular studies have suggested that the clicking beetle families Elateridae, Eucnemidae, Throscidae, and Cerophytidae evolved in the Jurassic and diversified in the Cretaceous. These studies paid little attention to fossils, using them only as dating tools. The identification of Elateridae fossils is challenging, as external synapomorphies are not known for this family. Elateridae can be identified only as something not belonging to the other related families, all of which have diagnostic synapomorphies. Most subfamilies and tribes of Elateridae do possess definite diagnostic characters, however, making their identification feasible. We checked the 28 Elateridae described from Chinese Mesozoic deposits. Twelve were Elateridae, seven were Eucnemidae, and one was a Throscidae. Three species could be Eucnemidae, but showed aberrant characters. Five species could not be placed and may not belong to Elateroidea at all. On the basis of these results we suggest that all previously described Elateridae fossils should be re-checked. They should be searched for synapomorphies defining Eucnemidae, Throscidae, and Cerophytidae. If such characters are not present, a click beetle type of fossil can be placed in Elateroidae incertae sedis. The Mesozoic Chinese Elateridae fossils all belong to clades that do not exist today, whereas the Mesozoic Eucnemidae subfamilies are extant ones. This may be the source of the disagreement between Elateridae fossil age and datings based on molecular studies. One new combination was made: Desmatus ponomarenkoi (Chang, Kiretjshuk & Ren, 2009) NEW COMBINATION (= Paradesmatus ponomarenkoi Chang, Kirejtshuk & Ren, 2009).
