Sucinoptinus ? sp.?

M a t e r i a l. SIZK K-25483, Klesov, Rovno amber, Late Eocene.

The inclusion contains a spider beetle, with only the ventral and right lateral parts preserved. Moreover, the remains are affected by a sort of a cloudy secretion ( fig. 1 , 5) that makes more difficult the observations. However, the lateral part of the prothorax showing a characteristic depression near the base in the dorsal part, suggests that it belongs to the genus Sucinoptinus .
