Abstract
Sugonjaevia sakhalinica gen. et sp. n. and Kotenkia platycera gen. et sp. n. are described and illustrated based on male specimens from the Middle Eocene Sakhalin amber. Brief comparative morphological analysis of the new genera is given. Similarly to all the previously described fossil Encyrtidae of the Eocene amber fauna, the new genus Sugonjaevia is characterized by long veins of the forewing.
