Abstract
A correction is provided regarding the identity of a fossil larva recently reported to represent the fi rst Cretaceous record of its kind for the tenebrionoid family Mordellidae (Coleoptera, tumbling flower beetles). A review of the description of the specimen, however, reveals it to be a larval symphytan (order Hymenoptera), and likely of the family Pamphiliidae.
The evidence for the revised identifi cation is summarized.
