Bukhkalius is an extinct genus of beetle belonging to the family Ommatidae, it contains the single species, Bukhkalius lindae. It was described in 2017 initially as a species of the extant genus Tetraphalerus[1] and was placed into a separate monotypic genus in 2020,[2] which was reaffirmed in a 2021 study.[3] It is known from a single specimen (NIGP 166152) from Burmese amber, dating to the Cenomanian stage of the Late Cretaceous. The specimen is around 4.7 mm long and around 1.3 mm wide.
