New omethid and lampyrid taxa from the Baltic Amber (Insecta: Coleoptera) Kazantsev, Sergey V. Zootaxa 2012 3186 59 63 [151,324,1514,1540] Insecta Omethidae Electromethes GBIF Animalia Coleoptera 0 59 Arthropoda genus gen. nov.   Typespecies:  Electromethes alleni  sp. n. Description. Adult male. Alate, flattened, elongate ( Fig. 1). Head transverse, exposed. Eyes moderately large, spherical. Labrum conspicuous, sclerotised, located anteriad of clypeus. Palps small, slender; ultimate palpomeres securiform. Gula transverse ( Fig. 3). Antennal sockets separated by ca. their diameter. Antenna 11-segmented, moderately long, antennomeres 4–10 flabellate; pedicel (antennomere 2) short, subequal in length and width to antennomere 3 and considerably shorter than subsequent antennomeres; pubescence on antennomeres 3–11 short and decumbent ( Fig. 2). Pronotum transverse, narrowed and rounded anteriorly, with punctate convex disk, explanate sides and almost straight posterior angles ( Figs 1–2). Prosternum triangular ( Fig. 3). Scutellum elongate, rounded at apex ( Fig. 1). Discrimen complete, bifurcate near mesoventrite. Elytra elongate, flattened, slightly broadening posteriorly, densely punctate, with inconspicuous longitudinal costae, pubescence short and decumbent ( Fig. 1). Epipleuron absent. Metathoracic wings fully developed.   FIGURES1–3. General view of  Electromethes alleni  gen. n., sp. n., holotype male. 1—dorsally; 2—same, latero-dorsally; 3— same, ventrally. Legs relatively short and robust; hind coxae contiguous; trochanters short; femurs and tibiae straight, tibiae noticeably longer than femurs, almost non-widened distally; tarsomeres 1–4 slightly widened, with plantar pads; claws simple, shortly appendiculate at base. Abdomen with eight ventrites; exposed portion of ultimate ventrite small, transverse, rounded at apex; ventrites without photic organs. Aedeagus with laterally exposed outside sternite 9 parameres ( Fig. 3). Female. Unknown. Diagnosis.  Electromethes  gen. n.is easily distinguishable from other omethids by a combination of the following characters: more prominent and more sclerotised labrum, securiform ultimate palpomeres, non-flabellate antennomere 3, location of the bases of flabellae of antennomeres 4–10 at the apices of antennomeres ( Fig. 1), triangular prosternum ( Fig. 3), absent elytral epipleuron, present plantar pads on tarsomeres 1–2 ( Fig. 3), etc. Etymology. The name of the new genus is derived from "electron", the Greek for "amber", and the genus name " Omethes". Gender masculine.
