Cionocups Explained

Cionocups is an extinct genus of ommatid beetle. It is known from a single species, Cionocups manukyani, found in Cenomanian aged Burmese amber from Myanmar. It was originally considered to be closely related to the genus Cionocoleus,[1] but it is considered a junior synonym of Omma by some subsequent authors.[2]
