Abstract
Pseudoergania perkovskyi gen. et sp. nov. is described and illustrated from Baltic amber. The new genus is similar to the oriental genus Ergania Pascoe, 1882, but differs in the tibia lacking uncus, transverse-oval eyes, evenly convex elytra, antennal scrobes directed under the eyes, and metaepisterna expanding towards the metacoxae. This is the first record of the subtribe Erganiina in fossil state, and the first described representative of the tribe Curculionini in Baltic amber.
