A new aquisition, close to be described.
In my opinion, similar to Brasiliosoma tibiale (Breuning, 1948) (Compsosomatini) with some problems concerning its distribution.
Your opinion? |

Left antenna.
Antennomeres IV-V are lost.
Similosodus or Mispila, good suggestion, but the scape seems to be really short.
Xavier, I have to cut the amber piece in order to take better pictures. |

There is the pronotum.
With lateral teeth; it reminds the genus Frea... |

Mesotibiae are without furrow and claws are opposite: it is the first fossil representative of Crossotini.
In my opinion, it is close to the Malagasy Lasiocercis and Tlepolemoides. |

Bonsoir Francesco oui en effet il a des similitudes avec les Tlepolemus. Mais ressemble aussi au genre Mispila.
Une chose ! S'agit il d'un mâle ou d'une femelle ??
Si c'est un mâle les Tlepolemus présentent sur chaque mandibule un appendice ou excroissance fines et droites (comme des petites cornes dirigée vers l'avant) sur les mandibules comme le Chemsakielus ou Cornuchariesthes etc..
Par ailleurs il me semble que les fémurs sont fortement claviformes sur la bête en photo ce qui est le cas aussi chez Tlepolemus mais bien moins marqué.
Bonne soirée

Voilà une première reconstruction de la bête.
C'est bien une femelle.

I finally named this species Eurocrossotus alekseevi gen. n., sp. n., the first fossil member of Crossitini.
