hiding in particular the sternum and the sides, but the last globular maxillary palpomere attributes it clearly to Malthininae , while the number of abdominal segments and the pronotal structure belong to the genus Mimoplatycis Kazantsev, 2013 .
Mimoplatycis bicolor n. sp. differs from the only known species - M. notha Kazantsev, 2013 from Baltic and Rovno amber - in the pronotum with rounded basal angles (prominent in M. notha ) and with different discal ridges: more enlarged apically and delimiting a very small smooth area before the base.
Furthermore, Mimoplatycis bicolor n. sp. shows reddish elytra with a triangular black spot at base, while M. notha shows elytra completely dark or obscured at apex.
Description. Male. Body length: 3.6 mm; elongate; head, pronotum and a posteriorly concave band on each elytral base blackish; elytra reddish brown; limbs dark brownish.
