Ektatotricha

Ektatotricha is an extinct, monotypic, genus of ant-like stone beetle in the family Staphylinidae containing the single species Ektatotricha paradoxa. The genus is known from a total of 15 specimens in amber from amber deposits near Tanai Village 105 kilometres (65 mi) northwest of Myitkyina in the Kachin region of Myanmar. Burmese amber has been radiometrically dated using U-Pb isotopes, yielding an age of approximately 99 million years old, close to the Aptian – Cenomanian boundary. The holotype, a single, complete adult with specimen number "AMNH Bu-1464", and six of the paratypes are now deposited in the American Museum of Natural History. Four more of the paratypes are deposited in the University of Kansas Natural History Museum collections in Lawrence, Kansas, USA. The remaining two
