Remarks:
Main inclusion of an unusually elongated pseudoscorpion, preserved together with a cricket and a beetle. The pseudoscorpion was a small ground-dwelling predator that lived under bark or within leaf litter, where it used its venomous pincers to capture tiny invertebrates. The elongated body shape of this specimen is atypical and makes it a remarkable example among known Burmese amber pseudoscorpions.
