Two Chinese and six foreign scientists have discovered the world's first fossil of a derodontidae, or tooth-necked fungus beetle, which dates back to 165 million years ago, the Yangtze Evening News reported.
Dr. Cai Chenyang and his mentor Huang Diying
Asics Black Shoes , from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology, have cooperated with the six foreign experts on research of some 50,000 insect fossils from China and France for two years.
Among the fossils from Inner Mongolia's Daohugou Bed, which dates to the middle-late Jurassic period, the team found the body of a tooth-necked fungus beetle. It is only 3 mm in size.
Cai said the insect can be classified into the subfamily of Peltasticinae, a new genus very similar to Peltastica. Such insects are extinct in China

The scientists also found a new species of steninae from the Late Eocene France, tracing back to 40 million to 50 million years ago.
Steninae has two genera, but the new species should be categorized into a third genus, said Cai. The little insect, which can fly, lives on the surface of water. "It can secrete a special chemical that allows it to walk on water

And among fossils from Jehol Biota, another formation of 133 to 120 million years ago in Inner Mongolia, scientists found bodies of long-horned beetles, scarabs and lice.
The research results have been published in a recent European Journal of Entomology, the Australasian journal of paleontology Alcheringa, and peer-reviewed scientific journal Cretaceous Research.

TORONTO, Dec. 13 (Xinhua) -- Milwaukee Bucks rookie Thon Maker visited Air Canada Centre for the first time as an NBA player on Monday evening when his team squared off against Toronto Raptors.
While Bucks ultimately lost by a score of 122-100, the event was more than just a basketball game for 19-year-old native of Sudan. Ten months ago, he attended the 2016 NBA All-Star Weekend festivities in Toronto as a fan. Four months later, his name was called by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver after Milwaukee Bucks selected him with the 10th pick in the 2016 NBA Draft.
"It felt good because I just came from being a fan of the NBA to now playing in the NBA," Maker said in an exclusive interview with Xinhua after the gam.
