Coll. P. Müller, now deposited at the Museum of Nature Hamburg – Geology and Mineralogy .</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>The species is named after the Lower Cenomanian, referring to the age of the amber resin.</p><p>Diagnosis.</p><p>Chelicera with 6 setae on dorsum of palm, rallum with 2 blades, fixed chelal finger with at least 3 accessory teeth; Carapace nearly as wide as long and with two transverse furrows, posterior furrow equidistant to the anterior furrow and posterior margin; all tergites and sternites divided, tergites with slightly clavate setae, tergite XI with longer tactile setae; sternites with short, fine and acute setae; all legs covered with fine and acute setae; tarsus IV with tactile setae proximal to leg claws.</p><p>Description.</p><p>Colouration (Fig. 2 A – C). Prosoma brown; pedipalps partially dark brown with white patches; chelal fingers dark brown; opisthosoma brown to light brown, with the proximal half of each tergite darker than the distal half.</p><p>Chelicerae (Fig. 2 D, E). Dorsal surface partially covered and ventral surface completely covered by amber; setae long and acute. Hand with four setae and fixed finger with two setae; movable finger without setae. Serrula interior visible, with at least nine lamellae. Teeth not visible on either fixed or movable finger. Galea obscured by an air bubble and damaged amber, not visible.

Movable finger with two trichobothria (sb, b) positioned distally; st and t not visible. Chelal teeth heterodentate and juxtadentate, with at least seven teeth on the movable finger and eight on the fixed finger; at least three accessory teeth present on the fixed finger, none observed on the movable finger. Venom tooth well developed on movable finger.</p><p>Prosoma (Fig. 3 E, F). Carapace subtriangular, 1.1 × broader than long at posterior margin; eyes and eyespots absent. Surface finely granulated.

Left leg I: coxa 0.31, trochanter 0.18 / 0.18, femur 0.29 / 0.13, patella 0.3 / 0.2, tibia 0.51 / 0.15, tarsus 0.5 / 0.1; left leg II: coxa 0.37, trochanter 0.32 / 0.24, femur 0.24 / 0.23, tibia 0.71 / 0.16, tarsus 0.53 / 0.1; left leg III: coxa 0.42, trochanter 0.28 / 0.23, femur 0.26 / 0.22, patella 0.53 / 0.29, tarsus 0.56 / 0.1; left leg IV: coxa 0.45, trochanter 0.37 / 0.24, femur 0.29 / 0.25, patella 0.64 / 0.26, tibia 0.81 / 0.14, tarsus 0.56 / 0.1. Right leg I: coxa 0.32, trochanter 0.22 / 0.19, femur 0.36 / 0.21, patella 0.93 / 0.21, tibia 0.54 / 0.15, tarsus 0.29 / 0.1; right leg II: coxa 0.4, trochanter 0.24 / 0.26, femur 0.24 / 0.18, patella 0.36 / 0.22, tibia 0.48 / 0.15, tarsus 0.42 / 0.1; right leg III: coxa 0.35, trochanter 0.27 / 0.24, femur 0.27 / 0.23, patella 0.48 / 0.28, tibia 0.64 / 0.17, tarsus 0.38 / 0.13; right leg IV: coxa 0.42, trochanter 0.34 / 0.23, femur 0.31 / 0.18, patella 0.57 / 0.26, tibia 0.77 / 0.21, tarsus 0.6 / 0.13</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>Leg structures appear to be shorter on the right side compared to the left side; however, this may result from measurement errors due to the positioning of the appendages in the amber.</p><p>Even though the specimen is fully intact and completely preserved, the air bubbles which are trapped in the amber, coupled with the many syninclusions, make it difficult to determine certain morphological features because of their placements. The syninclusions comprise, among others, a much smaller pseudoscorpion ( Lechytia finniae, Chthoniidae; Hagen et al. 2025), insect larvae and a member of Zygentoma – thus implying a litter-related assemblage.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/9502009C6A345FB4BCC0FFD4C71807FB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(Fig. 2 A – C).</p><p>Diagnosis.</p><p>Members of this genus can be distinguished from Zaona Chamberlin, 1925 by the relative positions of trichobothria ist and est (Fig. 3 A – D), with ist situated distal to est in † Burmachernes gen. nov., whereas these trichobothria are positioned opposite one another in Zaona . It differs from Barbaraella Harvey, 1995 by the presence of a posterior transverse furrow on the carapace (absent in Barbaraella), and from Metagoniochernes Vachon, 1939 by the presence of transverse carapacial furrows (absent in the latter). It is distinguished from Selachochernes Mahnert, 2011, Rhinochernes Beier, 1955, Opsochernes Beier, 1966, and Meiochernes Beier, 1957 by the presence of multiple tactile setae on the last tergite (absent in these genera). It further differs from Gomphochernes Beier, 1932 a and Odontochernes Beier, 1932 a in lacking accessory teeth on the claws (present in both), from Anthrenochernes Lohmander, 1939 in the position of tactile setae (not situated approximately one-third from the base of tarsus IV), and from Maorichernes Beier, 1932 b in possessing tactile setae (entirely absent in Maorichernes).</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>The generic name † Burmachernes gen. nov. combines “ Burma,” referring to the Burma Terrane of northern Myanmar where the specimen was discovered, with Chernes, the type genus of the family Chernetidae Menge, 1855 .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1C732A9F1E38548FB7E261685AFD899A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
