Abstract

Cryptophagus alexagrestis Lyubarsky & Perkovsky sp.n. is described based on a fossil inclusion in Late Eocene Rovno amber (Ukraine). The new species is similar to the extant Cryptophagus skalitzkyi Reitter and C. dilutus Reitter, differing from the latter bya very transverse, short and dilated 10th antennal segment, and from the former by the very elongate segments of the flagellum.
