First record ofCathartosilvanus Grouvelle (Coleoptera: Silvanidae) from Baltic amber with description of a new species

Cathartosilvanus necromanticus sp. nov., the first fossil representative of the extant New World genus, is described and illustrated on the basis of an inclusion in European Eocene amber. The new taxon is characterised by comparatively large body size, pronotum elongate, with weakly produced anterior angles and obtuse basal angles, prosternal process not channeled, and elytra without tuberculate setiferous punctures.
