Abstract

A new species of the tribe Megatomini (Dermestidae: Megatominae), Globicornis (Hadrotoma) vitusberingi sp. nov., has been described and illustrated in Priabonian Danish amber. This new species differs from Globicornis (Hadrotoma) ambericus Háva, Prokop et Herrmann, 2006 by its broad body, which is covered in decumbent black setae and subparallel elytral sides in the first and second thirds. It can be distinguished from Globicornis (Hadrotoma) ingelehmannae Háva et Damgaard, 2015 by last antennomere that is 2.5 times as long as two preceding antennomeres combined, its finely punctate pronotum and elytra, and its larger body size. This is the first record of the genus Globicornis Latreille, 1829 in Danish amber. A list of the Eocene Globicornis species has been compiled.
