Revealing Palaeogene distribution of the Ptilodactylidae (Insecta: Coleoptera): the first Ptilodactyla Illiger, 1807 records from Rovno amber of Ukraine

Unexpected Diversity of Xenoscelinae in Priabonian European Amber: The Third Xenosceline Species from Rovno Amber

“…It appears highly likely that the comparatively warmer climate of the Rovno amber forest [ 67 ] was more favourable to xenoscelines and many other thermophile forms [ 53 ] and references therein than the Baltic one, and this is the reason for their comparatively high diversity in the Rovno coleopterofauna [ 37 , 38 , 42 , 45 , 52 , 53 , 57 , 59 , 68 , 69 , 70 ].…”

“…The new Rovno amber pleasing fungus beetle specimen was purchased from an amber dealer, who obtained the amber mostly in the Varash district of the Rovno region, the most important source of the new Rovno amber taxa in the last few years [ 30 , 32 , 33 , 38 , 40 , 41 , 45 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 ]. It was included in the clear piece of amber, weighting 7.6 g after the primary treatment.…”

“…Rovno amber biota was reviewed in [ 22 , 23 , 24 ], [ 25 ] and references therein). More than 70 beetle species from 35 families [ 17 , 19 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 ] are reported; less than 15% of Rovno beetle species are known from Baltic amber [ 53 , 54 , 55 ] and references therein.…”

Typhlocybinae leafhoppers (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae) from Eocene Rovno amber reveal a transition in wing venation and a defensive adaptation

“…In recent years, Varash District localities yielded dozens of taxa unknown from the better-studied Klesov deposit (Gilka et al, 2021; Matalin et al, 2021; Melnitsky et al, 2021; Kazantsev and Perkovsky, 2022; Legalov et al, 2022a [and references therein], 2022b; Olmi et al, 2022; Vitali and Perkovsky, 2022; Yamamoto et al, 2022). From Zhovkini, a new encyrtid genus (Simutnik et al, 2022) and the first Rovno amber ptylodactilid male (Telnov et al, 2022) were recently discovered. A map of these and other localities for Rovno amber is shown in Figure 1.…”

First record of the parasitoid subfamily Doryctinae (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) in Rovno amber: description of a new genus and species with stigma-like enlargement on the hind wing of the male

“…Rovno amber is coeval with late Eocene Baltic amber, which has yielded more than 310 new arthropod species, and nearly all are unknown from Baltic amber (Makarkin et al 2022). Recently, Varash District localities have yielded dozens of taxa unknown from the better studied Klesov deposit (Telnov et al 2022;Dietrich et al 2023), many of which were found in Velyki Telkovichi (e.g. Simutnik et al 2020;Legalov et al 2022a).…”
