Examined material. Holotype, male?, Baltic amber, coll. Christel & Hans Werner Hoffeins CCHH 643-2 , Hamburg, Germany; female, Baltic amber, ex coll. J. Damzen JDC-11141, author’s coll. FS86BS54 ( Fig. 2 View Fig ).
right antenna and III-VIII of the left one. Antennomeres IX-XI of the left antenna are located inverted suggesting that the beetle lost them before the fossilisation process, maybe trying to escape from the resin. Accordingly, elytra and hind wings are not perfectly closed and amber forms air bubbles around knees and under the sternum. The amber piece also contains a moth fly ( Diptera Psychodidae ) and numerous air bubbles but no stellate fagacean trichomes.
