Abstract
Abstract. A new weevil, Arostropsis perkovskyi Bukejs and Legalov, sp. nov. (urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:408ECE71-B191-4381-AA39-C27A3A1DA082; Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Entiminae), is described from Late Eocene Rovno amber. The new species differs from Arostropsis groehni Yunakov et Kirejtshuk, 2011 from Baltic amber in the pronotum lacking a distinct lateral ridge, it has a shorter rostrum, antennomere 2 is subequal to antennomere 3, it has wider elytra with weaker convex humeral calli and the pronotum is wider than it is long. It is the first record of the tribe Naupactini in Rovno amber and the second finding of Arostropsis in Eocene ambers.
Highlights
The subfamily Entiminae is the richest in species among the Curculionidae
In this paper we describe a second species of the extinct amber genus Arostropsis Yunakov et Kirejtshuk, 2011 belonging to the tribe Naupactini

Summary
The subfamily Entiminae is the richest in species among the Curculionidae. The oldest representative of the subfamily is known from the Paleocene of Menat (Legalov et al, 2017). Many species are known or are recorded from Eocene ambers and impressions (Legalov, 2015). Members of different tribes were described from the earliest Eocene Oise (Legalov et al, 2019a) and Late Eocene Baltic ambers (Voss, 1953, 1972; Zherikhin, 1971; Wanat and Boroviec, 1986; Yunakov and Kirejtshuk, 2011; Legalov, 2012, 2013, 2016; Legalov and Bukejs, 2015). In this paper we describe a second species of the extinct amber genus Arostropsis Yunakov et Kirejtshuk, 2011 belonging to the tribe Naupactini
