- Trichodesma sp. (Figs 3C–D) Material examined. One specimen of Trichodesma sp. with collection number 1771-1 [CCHH], Baltic amber, Yantarny, Kaliningrad region, Russia. Complete beetle included in small, transparent, yellow amber piece with dimensions of 11×8× 5 mm. Body length of beetle is 5.2 mm. Syninclusions consist of one small specimen of Diptera, many small pieces of organic material, and few gas vesicles. Note. The present finding from an Eocene deposit is the first report of a fossil representative of Trichodesma. Extant species of this genus are distributed in warm climatic zones of the Nearctic, Neotropic, eastern Palaearctic, Afrotropical and northern Indomalayan regions (Español 1966; Peck 2005; Sakai 2005; Viñolas & Masó 2007; White 1982; Zahradník 2007; Zahradník & Háva 2014b). The studied fossil specimen lacks reliable diagnostic characters and remains unnamed.
