Here, we document the oldest known representative of the extant genus <em>Primeuchroeus</em> Linsenmaier, 1968 based on a specimen from Priabonian (upper Eocene) Baltic amber, and described as <em>Primeuchroeus groehni</em> sp. nov. This finding is the oldest Chrysididae fossil indisputably attributed to an extant genus and refutes the hypothesis that modern genera are not older than Neogene in age, as hitherto believed. Additionally, we propose the reallocation of a recently described fossil genus and fossil species. The genus <em>Sphaerocleptes</em> Cockx et al.

These findings provide deep insights into the evolution of Chrysididae: within the Chrysidinae subfamily, established by the mid-Cretaceous, some of the modern generic lineages had already diverged by the upper Eocene, and the Miocene Chrysididae fauna was likely similar to the extant fauna, pending further discoveries.
