New silken fungus beetle species (Coleoptera, Cucujiformia, Cryptophagidae) from Rovno amber

Based on a fossil specimen from the late Eocene Rovno amber, Cryptophagus vorontsovi sp. nov. is described. The new species is similar to Cryptophagus harenus Lyubarsky et Perkovsky, 2012 differing by the pronotum distinctly narrowed basally and the lateral pronotal margin unidentate medially. The e...

Zusammenfassung:Based on a fossil specimen from the late Eocene Rovno amber, Cryptophagus vorontsovi sp. nov. is described. The new species is similar to Cryptophagus harenus Lyubarsky et Perkovsky, 2012 differing by the pronotum distinctly narrowed basally and the lateral pronotal margin unidentate medially. The endemic composition of Rovno amber coleopterofauna is discussed. Only 15% of more than 90 Rovno amber beetle species are known also from Baltic amber.
