Abstract
ABSTRACT Pulchrairina electra gen. et sp. nov. is the first recorded Odonata in Upper Eocene Rovno amber (Ukraine). This new damselfly is described from Kovel (Ukraine) and is the fourth named fossil arthropod from Volyn Region. It is described mainly based on wing morphology. It belongs to Coenagrionoidea, but cannot be placed in any family because of incompletely preserved wings. Short comparisons with genus Balticoagrion known from Baltic amber are given. Both genera could belong to stem or crown groups of Coenagrionoidea.
