Abstract
The Eoropseudauletes plucinskii gen. et. sp. nov. from Baltic amber are described and illustrated. The new genus differs from the genus Pseudauletes Voss, 1922 in the naked body, large eyes, thick rostrum and not flattened tibiae. It is distinguished from the genus Cesauletes Hamilton, 1983 in the rounded apex of the elytra when both are together, tibiae with costate dorsal margin, narrow not long antennal club, and pronotum without pro- and postnotal grooves and from the genus Eugnamptidea Wickham, 1912 in the elytra with indistinct striae and rostrum without middle carinae. There is the first record of the tribe Pseudauletina in Baltic amber.
