Abstract

A study of Baltic amber revealed a new fossil species of the genusBacanius LeConte, 1853. Bacanius gorskii sp. nov. differs from the congener described previously fromEocene Rovno amber, B. kirejtshuki Sokolov and Perkovsky, in the shape of meso-metaventralsuture, incomplete subhumeral stria, and the impunctate prosternal lobe (urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:EE9C6859-607A-4134-9037-8385601CF42F).
