Abstract
A new monotypic genus Cretoattagenus gen. n. (type species: C. coziki sp. n.) is described and illustrated from Cretaceous amber from Kachin State, northern Myanmar. Cretodermestes palpalis Deng, Ślipiński, Ren et Pang, 2017 is illustrated and discussed based on additional material. A list of Dermestidae known from Burmese amber is also given.

The family Dermestidae (Coleoptera) recently contains about 1700 species and subspecies worldwide (Háva, 2015, 2020)
Six species of Dermestidae known from the Burmese amber belongs to four genera: Attagenus Latreille, 1802, Cretodermestes Deng, Ślipiński, Ren et Pang, 2017, Dermestes Linnaes, 1758 and Megatoma Herbst, 1791 (Cai et al, 2017; Deng et al, 2017; Háva & Damgaard, 2017) and an undescribed larvae was mentioned as Trogoderma-like (Poinar & Poinar, 2016; Peňalver et al, 2017)
