Abstract

ABSTRACT One new extinct species of the genus Atomaria Stephens, 1829 is described and illustrated: A. (Anchicera) telnovi sp. nov. from Rovno amber. It is the sixth species of the subgenus Anchicera in Eocene amber; two-thirds of all species and two-thirds of all reported Eocene amber silken fungus beetle specimens belong to this subgenus. The reasons for the relative abundance of Anchicera in the Eocene fossil resins are discussed. A key to extinct Eocene species of Atomaria is provided.
