Koteja, J. 2004 Scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccinea) from Cretaceous Myanmar (Burmese) amber.. Journal of Systematic Palaeontology 2(2): 109-114.

Notes: Scale insect inclusions have been found in 14 pieces of Lower Cretaceous (Upper Albian) Myanmar (Burmese) amber housed in the Natural History Museum, London. Burmacoccus danyi gen. et sp. nov. (Burmacoccidae fam. nov.), Albicoccus dimai gen. et sp. nov. (Albicoccidae fam. nov.), both archeococcids, and Marmyan barbarae gen. et sp. nov., a neococcid incertae sedis, are established on the basis of winged males, while an immature specimen of uncertain relationship is described. All of these taxa are considered to be extinct. Since each specimen represents a different group, the Burmese scale insects must have been abundant and diverse. They are also highly specialised (small size, reduced wing venation, microtrichia, long penial sheath, diverse tail devices), suggesting that the main radiation and specialisation of scale insects occurred prior to the Cretaceous.
