Coleopteran research
[edit]- Bao et al. (2025) redescribe Tigrivia baii.[151]
- Haug et al. (2025) describe new rove beetle larvae from the Cretaceous Kachin amber, compare their morphology to those of lacewing larvae from the same amber and those of extant rove beetle larvae, and interpret their findigs as suggesting that rove beetle larvae diversified after the Cretaceous and substituted the morphologies of Cretaceous lacewing larvae.[152]
- New information on the morphology of Clidicostigus arachnipes is provided by Cao, Liu & Liu (2025).[153]
- Sánchez et al. (2025) argue that purported brood balls of dung beetles from the Eocene La Meseta Formation (Antarctica) are not true trace fossils, and consider Patagonian trace fossils of Coprinisphaera to represent the southernmost known record of this ichnotaxon.[154]
- Cantil et al. (2025) study the fossil record of Coprinisphaera in the Cenozoic of South America, and interpret it as indicating that necrophagy in Scarabaeinae likely originated in Patagonia in the middle–late Eocene.[155]
- Click beetle larvae belonging to the subfamily Pityobiinae and likely to the tribe Tibionemini are identified in the Cretaceous (Cenomanian) Kachin amber from Myanmar by Kundrata et al. (2025).[156]
- Linhart et al. (2025) describe new click beetle larvae from the Kachin amber, interpreted as likely wood-associated predators, and preserving evidence of morphological differences with other insect larvae from the same habitat which might be related to ecological differences.[157]
- A study on dermestid larvae from Cretaceous, Eocene and Miocene ambers, providing evidence of presence of longer defensive setae in extinct dermestids compared to extant ones, is published by Le Cadre et al. (2025).[158]
- Batelka, Kundrata & Straka (2025) study the phylogenetic relationships of fossil members of Tenebrionoidea, name new families Wuhuidae, Bellimordellidae and Mirimordellidae, raise the subfamily Praemordellinae to the rank of the family, and assign Yakutia sukachevae to the new subfamily Yakutiinae within the family Mordellidae.[159]
- Ghaedi et al. (2025) describe new insect trace fossils (sinuous channels in wood, probably produced by beetles feeding on wood) from the Campanian strata of the Tarbur Formation (Iran), and name a new ichnotaxon Iranichnus farsensis.[160]
- Schafstall et al. (2025) report the discovery of subfossil beetle remains from Lithuania, providing evidence of presence of cold-adapted species but no evidence of presence of true arctic species during the Weichselian glaciation.[161]

Dictyopteran research
[edit]- Revision of the roachoid family Poroblattinidae, based on data from new fossils from the Carboniferous strata in Morocco, is published by Belahmira, Schneider & Saber (2025).[178]
- Evidence from the study of a specimen of Ambermantis wozniaki from the Turonian Raritan Formation (New Jersey, United States, interpreted as indicating that the studied mantis had large eyes with a high-resolution vision and a broad binocular visual field, is presented by Taniguchi et al. (2025).[179]
- Edwards et al. (2025) describe a conifer log with tunnels and coprolites produced by termites from the Lower Cretaceous (Hauterivian-Aptian) upper Strzelecki Group, representing the earliest fossil evidence of presence of termites in Australia reported to date and their first record from a circumpolar setting.[180]

General research
[edit]- Evidence from the study of insect feeding traces on pteridosperms from the Permian strata from the Crock locality (Thuringian Forest Basin, Germany), interpreted as the oldest unequivocal traces of leaf-mining reported to date, is presented by Laaß et al. (2025).[349]
- Luo et al. (2025) study herbivory traces on foliage from the Permian (Wuchiapingian) Wangjiazhai assemblage (China) and nine other Permian plant assemblages, and report evidence indicating that herbivorous insects preferentially targeted broadleaved gigantopterids.[350]
- Dash et al. (2025) revise known record of traces of insect herbivory on fossil leaves fromt the Permian strata of the East Bokaro Coalfield (India).[351]
- Evidence from the study of fossil record damage of plants caused by insects, indicating that modern patterns of insect herbivory originated by late Middle Jurassic (60 million years before the beginning of angiosperm dominance in plant assemblages), is presented by Xiao et al. (2025).[352]
- Oyama et al. (2025) describe an abdomen of an indeterminate insect from the Santonian Hinoshima Formation and an elytron of a beetle from the Campanian Mitsuse Formation, representing the first Mesozoic insects reported from Kyushu (Japan).[353]
- Tello et al. (2025) revise the fossil record of insects from Chile.[354]
