Abstract

The Baltic amber has proven to be an incredible resource for the environmental and faunistic diversity of the Eocene and this is also evident from the vast amount of Cantharidae species (soldier beetles) described as inclusions in this resin and Fossil-Lagerstätte. The present work contributes to highlighting both this trend and the variety of forms in particular for the genus Malthodes Kiesenwetter, 1852 with four new species described and with the addition of a new species of Cacomorphocerus Schaufuss, 1892 with two specimens included in the same amber piece. The new forms, described and illustrated here, are: Cacomorphocerus obstinatus sp. nov., Malthodes giannii sp. nov., Malthodes immortalis sp. nov., Malthodes marialuisae sp. nov., and Malthodes unimol sp. nov.

摘要

波罗的海琥珀已被证明是研究始新世环境和动物多样性的宝贵资源，这一点从大量被描述为包含在这种树脂和化石沉积层中的芫菁科物种（步甲）中也能明显看出。目前的研究有助于突出这一趋势以及形态的多样性，特别是对于1852年的Malthodes Kiesenwetter属，描述了四个新物种，并新增了1892年的Cacomorphocerus Schaufuss属的一个新物种，同一琥珀块中包含两个标本。这里描述和图示的新形态有：Cacomorphocerus obstinatus sp. nov.、Malthodes giannii sp. nov.、Malthodes immortalis sp. nov.、Malthodes marialuisae sp. nov.和Malthodes unimol sp. nov.
