Abstract

A new species of rhynchitid beetle Pseudauletes (Eopseudauletes) balticus sp. nov. is described from Baltic amber. The new species differs from P. (E.) championi (Sharp, 1889) in the sparsely punctate pronotum, which is longer than wide, and in the antennae inserted closer to the base of the rostrum. Possible faunistic relationships between the Curculionoidea of Baltic amber and the fauna of Limalophus and Toxorhynchus in the Eocene, as well as the Recent Pseudauletes, Caulophilus, and Oxycraspedus at the generic level and Anypotactini at the tribe level are discussed.
