Abstract
The first fossil representative of Bothriocerinae (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Cixiidae) from Eocene Baltic amber is described. This small group is currently distributed only in the New World. The fossil presents the evidence of a wider distribution of this group in the past. Bothriobaltia pietrzeniukae gen. and sp. n. is described and illustrated. Fossil record of the family, paleogeography of the Eocene, distribution pattern, phylogeny and ecology of the group in view of fossil record are discussed.
