Abstract

Rasnitsynites tarsalis Kasparyan (Ichneumonidae, Townesitinae) described from the Baltic amber is recorded for the first time in the Rovno amber (Gulyanka, Zhitomir Region); therefore, this is the southernmost and easternmost find of Townesitinae. The presence of numerous extinct taxa of Townesitinae and tribes of Hybrizoninae Blanchard 1845 = Paxylommatinae Forster, 1862 = Hybrizontinae Marshall, 1872 confirms close relation of the Bembridge Marls fauna (Upper Eocene of England) and that of the succinites (Baltic, Rovno, and other Late Eocene European ambers); they are common in the succinites and in the Bembridge Marls and are only known from these localities.
