Abstract: An updated catalogue of the world’s fossil Cantharidae is provided and some taxonomic acts are proposed: Poinarelektronmiles Fanti & Damgaard, 2020 bonum genus; Poinarelektronmiles ellenbergeri Fanti & Damgaard, 2020 comb. rest.; Poinarelektronmiles cuaroni Bramanti & Fanti, 2022 comb. rest.; Sanaungulus lethi Fanti & Damgaard, 2020 comb. rest.; Sanaungulus dominikiweissbachi Fanti & P. Müller, 2022 comb. rest.; Sanaungulus kachinensis Fanti & P. Müller, 2022 comb. rest.; Trapezioceps longelytrus Kundrata, Packova, Li, Hsiao, Shaw, Ferreira, Bai & Cai, 2023 unjustified emendation; Sanaungulus angustipennis (Y. Yang, W. Zhao & H. Liu, 2024b) comb. nov.; Burmomiles angustipennis Y. Yang, W. Zhao & H. Liu, 2024a unavailable name; Sanaungulus dentatus (Y. Yang, W. Zhao & H. Liu, 2024b) comb. nov.; Burmomiles dentatus Y. Yang, W. Zhao & H. Liu, 2024a unavailable name; Sanaungulus recticollis (Y. Yang, W. Zhao & H. Liu, 2024b) comb. nov.; Sanaungulus ruficollis Y. Yang, H. Liu & W. Zhao, 2022 inappropiate name; Sanaungulus strungei Fanti & Damgaard, 2019 comb. rest. returns to the genus Sanaungulus as in the original description; Sanaungulus undecimus Y. Yang, W. Zhao & H. Liu, 2024a incertae sedis because it is clearly not a Sanaungulus. Additional taxonomic information is also presented, and two new species: Mimoplatycis usa sp. nov. from Eocene Rovno amber, and Electronycha arturmichalskii sp. nov. from Baltic amber are illustrated and described.
