Abstract
A new tribe, new genus, and new species, Miocenocylas heeri gen. et sp. nov. from the Middle Miocene of Oeningen, Germany (Baden-Wurttemberg; Sarmatian, Upper Freshwater–Molasse Formation) are described. They differ from the tribe Cyladini in the free club articles, antennae inserted near the apex of the rostrum, procoxae located in the middle of the prosternum, the longer pronotum, and in the indistinct elytral striae.
