Two species from Satipo, Junin, Stenommatus chabooae Legalov n. sp. and Stenommatus sokolovi Legalov n. sp., are herein described. Stenommatus chabooae Legalov n. sp. is characterized by having the elytral interstriae narrower than striae width; pronotum coarsely punctate; large, narrow aedeagus, weakly curved at apex, with a large basal sclerite of the endophallus. Stenommatus sokolovi is characterized by having the elytral interstriae as wide as striae width; pronotum finely punctate; small, wide aedeagus, rounded at apex and endophallus lacking sclerites. A key to the South American species of the genus Stenommatus is given

A new species, Omolabus (Sternolaboides) sokolovi Legalov n. sp. from Satipo, Central Peru, is described. New data for Hybolabus ater (Olivier, 1789), Omolabus (Perulabus) peruanus Legalov, 2004, O. (Pseudomolabus) westerduijni Legalov, 2008 and O. (Sternolaboides) ecuadorensis Legalov, 2007 are recorded. A verified species checklist of Peruvian Attelabidae based on literature and specimen examinations is presented. Distributions of 18 species from eight genera of two tribes found in the fauna of Attelabidae from Peru are given.

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

Archaeocallirhopalus alekseevi sp. n. is described and illustrated from the Baltic amber of Kaliningrad Region, Russia. 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

First record of the subfamily Sagrinae (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) from the Eocene of North America

A new genus, Palaeatalasis gen. nov. (type species P. monrosi sp. nov.), from the tribe Megamerini (Chrysomelidae: Sagrinae) from the early-middle Eocene Green River Formation is described and illustrated. The new genus is similar to the Recent Atalasis Lacordaire, 1845 but differs from it in the subparallel sides of the pronotum, metafemora without teeth, and non-emarginate eyes. It differs from the Eocene Eosagra Haupt, 1950 in the large, convex, non-emarginate eyes, wide elytra, and transverse pronotum. The new genus is distinguished from the Paleocene Gallopsis Legalov, Kirejtshuk et Nel, 2019 in the wide forehead and convex eyes. It is the first record of the Sagrinae from North America and the fourth known species of the family Chrysomelidae from the Green River.</p
