The First Eocene Species of the Genus Micrambe (Coleoptera, Clavicornia, Cryptophagidae).
Lyubarsky G. Yu., Perkovsky E. E. — Based on a fossil specimen from the Late Eocene Rovno amber
(Ukraine), Micrambe sarnensis Lyubarsky et Perkovsky, sp. n., the first Eocene species of this genus is
described. The new species is similar to the extant Micrambe abietis (Paykull) and M. ulicis (Stephens),
differing by having the callosity with an acutangular caudolateral corner.
Key wo r d s: Cryptophagidae, Micrambe, Late Eocene, Rovno amber.

Cryptophagidae is the family of beetles with about 1000 described species represented in all biogeographic
realms. Both adults and larvae are commonly found on mold, fungi, under bark as well as in decaying
vegetation and nests of social Hymenoptera, birds and mammals. Species of Myrmedophila Bousquet live in
the ant nests, species of Telmatophilus Heer apparently feed in flower heads of certain aquatic plants. One species
of Atomaria Stephens is the pest of the sugar beet. Several species of Cryptophagus Herbst are found in stored
products.
The oldest named cryptophagid species is the Late Cretaceous atomariine Nganasania khetica Zherikhin
from the fossil resin at Yantardakh in the North Siberia (Zherikhin, 1977). The second cryptophagid species
from fossil resins is described herein. Recently a questionable cryptophagid was reported from Early Cretaceous
Lebanese amber (Kirejtshuk, Azar, 2008), and a representative of Cryptophagidae identified only to the family
level was found in the lowermost Eocene French amber (Kirejtshuk, Nel, 2008). Representatives of other
cryptophagid genera, viz., Cryptophagus, Atomaria, Micrambe Thomson, Ephistemus Stephens and Telmatophilus
are reported from the Late Eocene Baltic amber found in former Eastern Prussia (now Kaliningrad region) (Klebs,
1910; Kubisz, 2000); the last genus is also reported from the Bitterfeldian amber (Hieke, Pietrzeniuk, 1984).
Rovno amber is southern coeval analogue of the famous Baltic amber (Perkovsky
et al., 2007). Amber collection of the Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology NAS of
Ukraine (SIZK) contains more than 650 inclusions of beetles from Late Eocene Rovno
amber, but the first cryptophagid species from Rovno amber was found only a year ago.
The new species is quite characteristic of the family Cryptophagidae: tarsal formula, 3-
segmented club of antennae, closed procoxal cavities. The new species showing anten-
nal insertions exposed in dorsal view; pronotum with well developed marginal callosity;
mesocoxal cavity closed laterally by the sternum; ventrite 1 longer than remaining ven-
Vestnik zoologii, 44(3): 275–279, 2010
trites; puncturation of elytra confused; tarsal formula 5–5–5; lateral edge of pronotum
with callosity and with a few lateral teeth. These characters are indicative of the genus
Micrambe Thomson Cryptophaginae. Representatives of the genus Cryptophagus have prono-
tum with callosity and singular tooth, of the genus Salebius Casey have pronotum with
two teeth; the genera Henoticus Thomson and Mnioticus Coombs et Woodroffe have prono-
tum without callosity. Representatives of Micrambe are found in all biogeographic realms.
101 species of the genus are known in the world, including the 22 species in the
Palaearctic Region (Johnson et al., 2007).
Photographs were taken at the Paleontological Institute, Russian Academy of
Sciences (Moskow) by A. V. Mazin and the second author at the microscope Leica MZ 16.

Micrambe sarnensis Lyubarsky et Perkovsky, sp. n. (fig 1, 2)
Ma t e r i a l. Holotype, SIZK No K–5247, Klesov, Rovno amber, Late Eocene.
De s c r i p t i on: Body broadly elongate (fig. 1, 1; 2, 1), slightly convex; head, prono-
tum, and elytra reddish brown. Elytra slightly convex, covered with almost appressed
pubescence.
Head transverse, of normal size, with prominent, hemispherical, somewhat coarse-
ly facetted eyes, strongly and sparsely punctured. Antennae long, slender, with club reach-
ing beyond base of pronotum, joints 1–3 transverse, joint 4 very transverse, joints 5–8
almost equal in length, subquadrate, 9th elongate, 10th transverse, 11th obliquely oval,
joints 9–11 equal in width.
Pronotum distinctly transverse, barely 1.8 times broader than long, moderately
strongly and densely punctured (0.5 diameters apart), an individual puncture almost equal
to facette diameter. Pronotum without sublateral line, somewhat convex, with slightly
rounded at sides, with a few lateral teeth. Sides finely margined, anterior edge weakly sin-
uate. Callosity occupying at most one-fourth of side margin, with a small, elongate-oval
patch of bare surface invisible from above; caudolateral corner acute angular, with tip.
Lateral margin with 9 small teeth. Posterior corners obtuse, base round, slightly sinuate,
basal groove narrow.
Scutellum small, transverse. Elytra oval, humeral corners rounded, shoulders a lit-
tle broader than maximum breadth of pronotum, 1.45 times as long as wide and 2.9 times
as long as thorax, moderately convex, slightly flattened behind scutellum, with moder-
ately strongly rounded sides and a narrowly rounded apex, puncturation as strong as, yet
more sparse than that on pronotum.
Length 2.2 mm.
Micrambe sarnensis is most similar to the recent M. abietis (Paykull) and M. ulicis
(Stephens), but differs from them in having the callosity with caudolateral corner acute
angular, with tip. Micrambe abietis is a common and widely distributed beetle found in

Palaearctic and Nearctic. Micrambe ulicis is widespread in the Palaearctic, Nearctic and
Afrotropical Regions.
Micrambe sarnensis is attributed to the subgenus Micrambe s. str. based on the
pronotum with callosity and serrate lateral edge.
E t ymo l o g y. Species name derived from Sarny district, where situated Lagersta�tte.
