Abstract

A new genus Rovnoslonik Legalov, Nazarenko and Perkovsky gen. nov. (type species Rovnoslonik damzeni Legalov, Nazarenko and Perkovsky sp. nov.; tribe Stromboscerini, subfamily Dryophthorinae), new species Caulophilus martynovae Legalov, Nazarenko and Perkovsky sp. nov. (Cossoninae: Dryotribini), Dorytomus vlaskini Legalov, Nazarenko and Perkovsky sp. nov. (Curculioninae: Ellescini: Dorytomina), Paonaupactus katyae Legalov, Nazarenko and Perkovsky sp. nov., and Paonaupactus gracilis Legalov, Nazarenko and Perkovsky sp. nov. (Entiminae: Anypotactini) are described from the Late Eocene Rovno amber. These are the first records of the genera Dorytomus Germar, 1817 and Paonaupactus Voss, 1953 from Rovno amber.
