Abstract
Abstract. The holotype of Dignomus regiomontanus Alekseev, 2014, from the Eocene Baltic amber
(Tertiary, Paleogene), is re-examined and re-described. Dignoptinus gen. nov. is
proposed to place this species. Bruchoptinus Reitter, 1884, and Pseudoptinus Reitter, 1884, described
as subgenera of Ptinus Linnaeus, 1767, are the closest relatives of the new fossil
genus. These two subgenera are proposed as independent genera:
Bruchoptinus Reitter, 1884 stat. nov. and Pseudoptinus Reitter, 1884 stat. nov. Forty-four new
combinations for the species of these genera are proposed.
期刊介绍:
Fossil Record (FR) is the palaeontological journal of the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin. This journal was founded in 1998 under the name Mitteilungen aus dem Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, Geowissenschaftliche Reihe and appears with two issues each year. Fossil Record publishes original papers in all areas of palaeontology including the taxonomy and systematics of fossil organisms, biostratigraphy, palaeoecology, and evolution. All taxonomic groups are treated, including invertebrates, microfossils, plants, and vertebrates.
