Abstract
Abstract. The holotype of Dignomus regiomontanus Alekseev, 2014, from the Eocene Baltic amber
(Tertiary, Paleogene), is re-examined and re-described. Dignoptinus gen. nov. is
proposed to place this species. Bruchoptinus Reitter, 1884, and Pseudoptinus Reitter, 1884, described
as subgenera of Ptinus Linnaeus, 1767, are the closest relatives of the new fossil
genus. These two subgenera are proposed as independent genera:
Bruchoptinus Reitter, 1884 stat. nov. and Pseudoptinus Reitter, 1884 stat. nov. Forty-four new
combinations for the species of these genera are proposed.
