A new species and a key to Isomira Mulsant, 1856 (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Alleculinae) from Eocene Baltic amber

Based on a single well-preserved specimen from Eocene Baltic amber, a new comb-clawed beetle Isomira lobanovi sp. n. (Alleculinae: Alleculini: Gonoderina) is described and illustrated. The new species belongs to the subgenus Mucheimira Novák, 2016, with extant species distributed in South China, Him...
