Material.
Holotype, SIZK, no. UA-28099, 1♀, Varash District , Rovno Region, Ukraine; Rovno amber; late Eocene. The inclusion is in a yellow and clear piece of amber in a shape of parallelepiped (ca. 40 × 10 × 9 mm), one side of which contains a layer of organic residues. All body parts are preserved.
Syninclusion.
Crawler of Coccoidea (Fig. 1C, D View Figure 1 ).
Etymology.
The species is named in memory of our colleague coleopterist Prof. Aleksandr Vasilievich Puchkov.
Description.
Female. Habitus as in Figs 1B View Figure 1 , 2C View Figure 2 . Body not compact, slightly elongated and flattened. Body length 1.2 mm.
Coloration. Body, antenna, tegula, gaster dorsally and ventrally black; surface of frontovertex, mesoscutum, scutellum and axillae smooth, shiny, but without metallic shine, monotonously shallow reticulate with sparse punctures, evenly clothed in short setae (Figs 1B View Figure 1 , 2A View Figure 2 ); coxae, and legs black, meso- and metatibia with lighter apices; protarsus dark; mesotibial spur, meso- and metatarsus light brown to yellowish.
Head. Hypognathous, slightly wider than thorax (8:7) in dorsal view, twice as broad as long, with rounded occipital margin; eyes bare, with inner orbits parallel; minimum distance between eyes almost 0.5 × head width; OOL about equal to posterior ocellar diameter (Fig. 2A View Figure 2 ); OCL about equal to half of posterior ocellar diameter; OOL:POL:LOL:OCL about 1:9:5.5:1.5; eye reaching occipital margin; facial cavity and interantennal prominence present but without distinct antennal scrobes (Fig. 2A View Figure 2 ); toruli located above of mouth margin, about at level of lower margin of eyes (Fig. 2B View Figure 2 ); malar sulcus complete; mandibles, probably two-toothed, with powerful teeth (Fig. 2B View Figure 2 ).
Antenna. Geniculate, 11-segmented (1:1:6:3); radicle short, about 2-2.5 × as long as broad; scape wide, flattened (Fig. 2A View Figure 2 ); pedicel conical, slightly shorter than F1-F4 combined, longer than any segment of funicle; funicle cylindrical, all segments broader than long, width of flagellomeres increases toward apex; F4-F6 and all segments of clava with mps (Fig. 2A, B View Figure 2 ); clava large, only slightly shorter than funicle, about 2.2 × as long as broad, with small oblique truncation on non-acute apical segment (Fig. 2B View Figure 2 : ot), slightly wider than F6; flagellum and clava clothed in short setae.
Mesosoma. Pronotum short, almost vertical, in dorsal view without transverse dorsal surface (Fig. 2A View Figure 2 ); mesoscutum broader than long, flat; axillae transverse-triangular with anteromedial angles contiguous (Fig. 2A View Figure 2 ); prepectus large, bare, polygonally reticulate, posterior margin extended to base of tegula; acropleuron convex, bare, with shallow longitudinal reticulate sculpture, long, in lateral view twice as long as height (Fig. 2C View Figure 2 : ac), with distinct acropleural sulcus; subtegular region (Fig. 2D View Figure 2 : str) of acropleuron large, convex, delineated by distinct sulcus; metapleuron narrow, without visible setation (Fig. 2C View Figure 2 ).
Wings. Fully developed. Fore wing with basal cell uniformly setose; costal cell narrow; submarginal vein without distinct extension (Fig. 3A View Figure 3 ), although, when lighting from above, parastigma appears to be somewhat swollen (Fig. 1B View Figure 1 : pst); hyaline break (unpigmented area) present; marginal vein long, but slightly shorter than stigmal and postmarginal veins (Fig. 1B View Figure 1 , left wing); proportions of forewing venation as in Figs 1B View Figure 1 , 2C View Figure 2 , 3A View Figure 3 ; stigmal vein with long narrow uncus, consisting row of uncal sensillae (Fig. 3A View Figure 3 : unc); enlarged seta marking apex of postmarginal vein of fore wing rather absent (Fig. 3A View Figure 3 ); setae of marginal fringe short.
Legs. Normal in size, alike polygonally reticulate; protibia with long, curved calcar; basitarsal comb poorly developed; tarsi 5-segmented; mesotibial spur slightly shorter than mesobasitarsus; metatibia with two spurs.
Gaster. As long as mesosoma, polygonal reticulate equal dorsally and ventrally, apical margins of metasomal terga straight, parallel; paratergites and cercal setae not visible; ovipositor stylet combined from 1st and 2nd valvulae (stylet suture presumably visible in Fig. 3C View Figure 3 ); hypopygium in Fig. 3B-D View Figure 3 : hyp.
Male. Unknown.
