A NEW SPECIES OF XYLOLAEMUS (COLEOPTERA: ZOPHERIDAE: COLYDIINAE) FROM BALTIC AMBER
Journal Title: Baltic Journal of Coleopterology - Year 2014, Vol 14, Issue 1
Abstract
A new fossil beetle, Xylolaemus sakhnovi sp. nov., from Baltic amber (Eocene) of the Kaliningrad region of Russia is described and compared with the related extant species X.fasciculosus (Gyll.), X. africanus Grouv., X. indicus Grouv., X. aeonii (Oromí et García) and X. abnormis Ślipiński. The newly described species differs morphologically from all studied extant species in the structure of the antennal club, proportions of the antennomeres and smaller body size.
