Abstract

Danoberotha verkleijorum gen. et sp. nov. is described from the early Eocene Fur Formation, Denmark. This is the first record of Berothidae from this formation. The key distinguishing feature of the new genus is the pectinate CuP of the forewing. It differs from other genera possessing the pectinate forewing CuP by other characters (e.g., the configuration of CuA; the number of crossveins between RA and RP proximad the fusion of Sc and RA). It is assumed that the climate of the Fur Formation when layers +25 to +30 were deposited was upper microthermal.
