Fuscicupes

Fuscicupes is an extinct genus of beetles from the Early Cretaceous of eastern China. It contains only one species, Fuscicupes parvus, which was described from a single specimen from Tuanwang, Laiyang city in Shandong province, from the Aptian aged Laiyang Formation. Fuscicupes was originally classified in the subfamily Ommatinae of the family Cupedidae, now generally considered a separate family Ommatidae, but was excluded from it by Kirejtshuk because of the poor preservation of the only known specimen and the lack of characteristics to assign it to a suborder or family of beetles.
