昆虫常发育有与其行为密切相关的形态特征,通过对特化的形态特征的阐释有助于揭示昆虫的某些行为特征。最近在缅甸琥珀中发现的苔甲化石,在分类上属于隐翅虫科,苔甲亚科,鞭苔甲族。鉴于其极其特化的触角、口器和鞘翅等特征,建立了一新属种,恐怖古鞭苔甲(Cascomastigus monstrabilis)。与体长一般为1-3毫米的现生苔甲相比,恐怖古鞭苔甲体长可达6-7毫米,可算“超大”。其下颚须长棒状,
Insects often develop morphological features closely related to their behavior, and help explain some behavioral characteristics of insects through the explanation of specialized morphological features. The fossil moss found recently in Burmese amber belongs to the class Paleontoptera, Mossaceae, and Whip. In view of its highly specialized features such as antennae, mouthparts and coleoptiles, a new genus, Cascomastigus monstrabilis, has been established. With the body length is generally 1-3 mm of the living moss than the ancient whipping moss moss body length of up to 6-7 mm, can be considered “large ”. Its jaw should be long rod-shaped,
