This paper is devoted to the study of the first Palaeocene Nitidulidae, all from the lacustrine outcrop of Menat (France), viz. Nitoraeopsis mixta gen. et sp. nov. (Epuraeinae, first fossil member of Taenioncini); ?Soronia spp. (S. menatensis sp. nov. and S. sp.) of the Soronia-complex of genera (Nitidulinae, Nitidulini); Menatoraea gen. nov. (M. typica sp. nov. (type species), M. angustitibialis sp. nov., M. laticollis sp. nov., and M. gracilis sp. nov.) of the Pocadius- or Thalycra-complexes, and Palaeolycra palaeocenica gen. et sp. nov. of the Thalycra-complex (Nitidulinae, Nitidulini); and ?Cryptarcha subglobosa sp. nov., oldest fossil record of the tribe Cryptarchini sensu stricto (Cryptarchinae). A key to the species of Menatoraea gen. nov. and a review of the fossil record of the family Nitidulidae are provided.
本文致力于对古新世最早的露尾甲科昆虫进行研究,所有标本均来自法国梅纳的湖相露头,即混合新拟露尾甲属(Nitoraeopsis mixta),新属新种(伊普露尾甲亚科,泰尼翁辛族的首个化石成员);索罗尼亚属(Soronia)的一些物种(梅纳索罗尼亚新种(S. menatensis sp. nov.)及索罗尼亚属未定种(S. sp.)),属于索罗尼亚属复合群(露尾甲亚科,露尾甲族);波卡迪乌斯或塔利克拉复合群的新梅纳露尾甲属(Menatoraea)(典型新梅纳露尾甲(M. typica sp. nov.)(模式种)、狭胫新梅纳露尾甲(M. angustitibialis sp. nov.)、宽颈新梅纳露尾甲(M. laticollis sp. nov.)和纤细新梅纳露尾甲(M. gracilis sp. nov.)),以及塔利克拉复合群的古新世古塔利克拉属(Palaeolycra palaeocenica),新属新种(露尾甲亚科,露尾甲族);还有近球形新隐尾甲(?Cryptarcha subglobosa sp. nov.),是狭义隐尾甲族(隐尾甲亚科)最古老的化石记录。文中提供了新梅纳露尾甲属物种检索表以及露尾甲科化石记录综述。
