Abstract

This is a supplement to the Burmese (Myanmar) amber checklist and bibliography covering taxa described or recorded during 2023, plus a couple of earlier records that were missed previously. Up to the end of 2023, 2,781 species have been recorded from Kachin amber, of which 244 were named in 2023; 16 species have been recorded from older Hkamti amber (six were named in 2023), of which two are known from both Hkamti and Kachin amber. Another four species were named in 2023, though it is uncertain whether they are in Kachin or Hkamti amber. In total 253 species were named from Cretaceous amber from Myanmar in 2023.
