Abstract
With the discovery of Maigus sontagae gen. nov., sp. nov. in Baltic amber, all the literature of the fossil family Berendtimiridae Winkler, 1987 is revised. The family is now polytypic, with the subfamilies Berendtimirinae Winkler, 1987 (nominotypical) and Retromalisinae subfam. nov. This new subfamily is established to include Retromalisus Kazantsev, 2020 and Maigus gen. nov. In addition, Jantarokrama utilis Kirejtshuk & Kovalev, 2015 is transferred from Elateridae: Omalisinae to Berendtimiridae: Berendtimirinae, joining Berendtimirus Winkler, 1987.
