Third contribution on rovno amber silken fungus beetles: A new eocene species of cryptophagus (Coleoptera, Clavicornia, Cryptophagidae)

Abstract

Cryptophagus alexagrestis Lyubarsky & Perkovsky, sp. n. is described based on a fossil inclusion in Late Eocene Rovno amber (Ukraine). The new species is similar to the extant Cryptophagus skalitzkyi Reitter and C. dilutus Reitter, differing from the latter by having a very transverse, short and dilated 10th antennal segment, and from the former by the very elongate segments of the flagellum. © G.Yu.
