      abstract     = {The pseudoscorpion genus Lechytia Balzan, 1892 (Chthoniidae
                      Daday, 1889: Lechytiinae Chamberlin, 1929) includes 27
                      extant species that are distributed across all continents
                      except Antarctica, and a single extinct species from
                      Dominican amber of Miocene age. We document the first record
                      of Lechytia from Burmese amber (Cenomanian: ∼99 Ma),
                      Lechytia finniae sp. nov., making it the oldest fossil
                      record for Lechytia and extending the known temporal range
                      of this group by more than 70 million years into the
                      Mesozoic. The new species differs from most extant Lechytia
                      species due to the distance between trichobothria sb and b
                      that are separated by at least one areolar diameter, and by
                      the absence of eyes. Since there is a close morphological
                      resemblance between L. finniae sp. nov. and extant Lechytia
                      species, the new fossil is placed in an extant genus and
                      represents yet another example of morphological stasis in
                      pseudoscorpions. The presence of Lechytia in Burmese amber
                      implies that this genus was present on the Burma Terrane in
                      the Cretaceous although no extant species are known from
                      this landmass today. The ecology of extant species may lend
                      support to a tropical forest environment on the Burma
                      Terrane.},
