Abstract
We describe Apachyus madseni sp. nov. based on an almost complete fossil from the Fur Formation in northwestern Denmark. The fossil is the second Dermaptera species described from the early Ypresian Fur Formation and the first fossil representative of the enigmatic family Apachyidae. Today, Apachyidae are restricted to Central Africa, and the Orient from southern India to the Philippines and northern Australia. The new fossil thus represents not only a new addition to the fossil mo-clay fauna, but also a considerable expansion of the historical biogeographical ranges of Apachyidae.
