Abstract
The rich late Oligocene fossil deposit of Enspel (Westerwald, Germany) provided two new species of soldier beetles (Cantharidae), namely Cantharis doernerorum sp. nov. and Cantharis zabolica sp. nov. Furthermore, C. doernerorum sp. nov. appears to have preserved traces of the original coloration, a character not found until now in soldier beetles preserved as compression fossils in rocks, and C. zabolica sp. nov. shows a metathoracic wing with veins. The new species are compared to those of the adjacent and almost contemporaneous Rott Lagerstätte (late Oligocene) and other fossiliferous deposits.
