Abstract

A new genus Kaszubia gen. nov. (type species Kaszubia wanati sp. nov.) is described from Eocene Baltic amber (found in the vicinity of Gdańsk). It is similar to the genus Rhyncolosoma Champion, 1914 but differs in the six-segmented flagellum, rather thick straight rostrum, non-transverse 3rd antennomere, and scape not reaching the middle of the eye.
