Abstract
From the rich mid-Cretaceous amber deposits in Northern Myanmar, which yielded already numerous biological inclusions (Ross, 2019, 2021, 2022), to date the following nine genera of the heteropteran flat bug family Aradidae are recorded: Aradoleptus Heiss, 2016 (1 sp.); Archeaneurus Heiss, 2019 (1sp.); Archearadus Heiss & Grimaldi, 2001 (2 sp.); Archecalisius Heiss, 2019 (1sp.); Calisiomorpha Heiss 2016 (1sp.); Cretopiesma Grimaldi & Engel, 2008 (4 sp.); Ellenbergeria Heiss, 2016 (1sp.); Kachinocoris Heiss, 2012 (1sp.); Myanmezira Heiss & Poinar, 2012; (Heiss & Grimaldi, 2001; Grimaldi & Engel, 2008; Heiss, 2012, 2016, 2019a, b; Heiss & Poinar, 2012; Azar et al., 2020).
