? Microscydmus sp. 2

(Figs 30, 204–208)

Material studied. Late Eocene of Europe, Rovno amber: sex unknown; inclusion in elongate, subtrapezoidal prism of amber 14 mm long (Fig. 30), collection number K-6943 (SIZK).

Description. Body (Figs 204–208) elongate, moderately slender and convex, light brown; BL 0.73 mm.

Head (Figs 204–208) short and subhexagonal, broadest at eyes, HL 0.13 mm, HW 0.19 mm; vertex (Fig. 207; vt) and frons (Fig. 207; fr) confluent, weakly convex and together subhexagonal, strongly transverse; eyes large, oval, strongly convex; tempora in lateral view (Fig. 208) distinctly shorter than eyes. Punctures and setae on frons and vertex poorly visible. Antennae (Figs 204–208) distinctly shorter than half BL, AnL about 0.25 mm, scape and pedicel strongly elongate, antennomeres III–VII each about as long as broad or slightly elongate, VIII slightly elongate, X about as long as broad, XI slightly transverse, XI much shorter than IX–X combined, about 1.2 × as long as broad, slightly narrower than X and rounded at apex.

Pronotum (Figs 204, 207) round, broadest near anterior third; PL 0.20 mm, PW 0.20 mm; anterior and posterior margins weakly arcuate, anterior and posterior pronotal corners broadly obtuse-angled and blunt; sides strongly rounded; antebasal structures poorly visible. Punctures and setae on pronotal disc poorly visible.

Elytra (Figs 204–205, 207–208) elongate oval, moderately convex, EL 0.40 mm, EW 0.30 mm, EI 1.33; punctures (Fig. 208) fine but discernible, separated by spaces 3–4 × as wide as diameters of punctures; setae (Fig. 208) sparse, short, suberect.

Legs (Figs 205–206, 208) moderately long, slender, unmodified.

Remarks. This small specimen is tentatively identified as Microscydmus, but too few important structures are observable to confirm this placement.
