摘要
The new euphaeid genus and species, Wolfgangeuphaea ferweri Nel, are described from the Middle Eocene Baltic amber. It belongs to the Paleogene subfamily Eodichrominae. This new discovery confirms to remarkable past diversity of this family that contains now as many extinct genera and recent ones. They were distributed in North America and Europe, while the family is now-a-day only present in the Old World. There seems to have been a "replacement" of the Euphaeidae by the Calopterygidae during the latest Oligocene and the Neogene.
