Abstract
A new fossil beetle, Xylolaemus sakhnovi sp. nov., from Baltic amber (Eocene) of the Kaliningrad region of Russia is described and compared with the related extant species X.fasciculosus (Gyll.), X. africanus Grouv., X. indicus Grouv., X. aeonii (Oromí et García) and X. abnormis ¦lipiński. The newly described species differs morphologically from all studied extant species in the structure of the antennal club, proportions of the antennomeres and smaller body size.
