Abstract

A new species of the genus Acicnemis Fairmaire, 1849 is described from the early Miocene Sumatran amber. The new species, Acicnemis sumatranus sp. nov., differs from A. suturalis Roelofs, 1875 in the larger body size, a small antennal club, longer femora, and a large teeth on the metafemora. This is the first record of the tribe Acicnemidini in the Neogene and the first described beetle from Sumatran amber.
