The taxonomic position of a new pollen-feeding fossil beetle from Spanish amber (late Albian, 105 Ma) is analysed. A phylogenetic analysis allows me to accommodate Darwinylus marcosi gen. et sp. nov. in the Polyphaga: Oedemeridae within current limits for the family, which clearly belongs in the subfamily Oedemerinae. It corresponds to the oldest definitive record for the family. Some autapomorphies, mainly in antennae, are observable in the fossil compared with extant members of the family. A discussion about these problematic characters and the evolution of the family is proposed.
对来自西班牙琥珀（晚阿尔必阶，1.05亿年前）的一种新的取食花粉的化石甲虫的分类地位进行了分析。系统发育分析使我能够将达尔文氏马科斯甲虫（新属新种）归入多食亚目：拟步甲科，在该科目前的范畴内，它显然属于拟步甲亚科。它是该科最古老的确切记录。与该科现存成员相比，在化石中可观察到一些独征，主要在触角上。对这些有问题的特征以及该科的进化进行了讨论。
