Ambraaltica baltica new genus and new species (Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae: Alticini) is described from Upper Eocene Baltic amber. It is illustrated and compared to recent flea beetle genera and genera known from fossil resins

A new genus of the tribe Ceutorhynchini (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in Baltic amber

A new genus, Baltocoeliodes gen. n. (type species: B. sontagae sp. n.) is described and illustrated from Eocene Baltic amber. Baltocoeliodes is close to Coeliodinus Dieckmann, 1972 but differs by having the femora with a large tooth, robust elytra, and elytral intervals with rasp-like granules. It differs from the genus Brevicoeliodes Korotyaev, 1997 by the short apical comb of setae on the protibiae, the long and curved rostrum, femora with a large tooth, and elytral intervals with rasp-like granules

A new species of the genus Archaeocallirhopalus Legalov (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Entiminae) in Baltic amber

The new species is similar to A. larssoni Legalov, 2013 but differs in the smaller body, forehead without strong tubercles over the eyes and a narrower scape. The genus Archaeocallirhopalus Legalov,2013, placem. n. is transferred from tribe Cneorhinini to the tribe Trachyphloeini

A new species of the genus Dorytomus Germar, 1817 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) from Baltic amber

A new species, Dorytomus groehni Bukejs & Legalov sp. n. is described and illustrated from Eocene Baltic amber. The new species differs from D. nudus Legalov, 2016 primarily in longer and wider body size, narrower and longer rostrum, slightly convex interstriae distinctly wider than elytral striae and finely punctate pronotum with semierect setae

First record of the tribe Naupactini (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in Rovno amber

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

The first record of Rhynchitidae (Coleoptera) from Rovno amber

Based on a well-preserved specimen, Pseudomesauletes groehni sp. n. is described and illustrated from Upper Eocene Rovno amber (Ukraine). It is the first fossil record of Rhynchitidae from this Lagerstätte

Groehnius, a new genus of Eugnomini (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) from Eocene Baltic amber

A new weevil, Groehnius electrum Bukejs and Legalov, gen. et sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Curculioninae), is described from Eocene Baltic amber. This new genus is similar to the genus Archaeoeugnomus Legalov, 2016 from Baltic amber but differs in the femora without ventral teeth, and the scape not reaching the anterior margin of the eye. It is the second record of the tribe Eugnomini in the Eocene

Review of Lixinae (CoLeopteRa: CuRCuLionidae) of the Latvian fauna

abstract. The current article summarizes the faunal and bibliographical information on weevils of the Latvian fauna belonging to the genera Larinus, Lixus, Rhinocyllus, Coniocleonus, Stephanocleonus, Bothynoderes, Cyphocleonus and Cleonis. A total of 462 specimens of these genera were reviewed. The analysis of the bibliography of Latvian Lixinae was made for the first time. The first record of Larinus turbinatus Gyllenhal, 1835 in the Latvian fauna is reported. One species, Stephanocleonus tetragrammus (Pallas, 1781) is excluded from the list of Latvian Coleoptera. The annotated list including 15 species and 7 genera as well as an illustrated key to Latvian Lixinae are given

Two new species of the family Rhynchitidae (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea) from Eocene Baltic amber, with key to species and assumed trophic relationships

Two new fossil species of Baltocar Kuschel, 1992 and Pseudomesauletes Legalov, 2001 (Curculionoidea: Rhynchitidae) are described from Eocene Baltic amber. Baltocar sontagae sp. nov. is similar to B. groehni Riedel, 2012 but differs in the shorter rostrum, tarsomere 1 shorter than tarsomere 5 and 1.4× as long as tarsomere 2, longer elytra, and shorter body. Pseudomesauletes lobanovi sp. nov. is similar to P. culex (Scudder, 1893) and P. ibis (Wickham, 1912): the new species differs from P. culex in the larger eyes, longer pronotum, being 0.44× shorter than elytra, and slightly smaller body size; from P. ibis it differs in the smaller body size, rostrum shorter than elytra, and weakly convex pronotum. This is the first record of Pseudomesauletes from Baltic amber and the sixth species of Baltocar. Keys to species of the genus Baltocar and to the Eocene species of the genus Pseudomesauletes are given. Assumed trophic relationships of these fossil taxa are discussed (urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:260EBE6E-DA6C-4D6DA1D2-2C258224622F). parts of the plant, usually gnawed by the female (Legalov, 2004). Thirty-five species were found in the fossil record (Legalov, 2015b; Bukejs and Legalov, 2019; Kania and Legalov, 2019). The earliest Rhynchitidae are known from the Cenomanian of Botswana and the Turonian New Jersey amber (Gratshev and Zherikhin, 2000; Legalov, 2015b). They are found in the Paleocene of France (Legalov, 2020b), the Eocene of the USA and Europe (Legalov, 2015b, 2020b), the Oligocene of Europe (Legalov, 2020b), the Miocene of Germany (Heer, 1847), and also Dominican and Mexican amber (Poinar and Brown, 2007; Poinar and Legalov, 2015). Nine rhynchitid species are described from Eocene Baltic amber (Voss, 1953; Legalov, 2012, 2013, 2015b, 2020a, b; Riedel et al., 2012; Kania and Legalov, 2019). The extinct genus Baltocar Kuschel, 1992 includes five species (Riedel et al., 2012; Legalov, 2015b, 2020a). A new species of this genus is discovered in examined Baltic amber material. The fossil species of the genus Pseudomesauletes Legalov, 2001 were known from Rovno amber (Bukejs and Legalov, 2019) and Florissant (Legalov, 2015b). A newly described species is the first record of this genus from the Baltic amber
