Abstract
Fossil records of Scarabaeidae in Eocene amber deposits are scarce. Previously, only three species were known from Baltic amber. Based on well-preserved specimens, an additional extinct species of Eupariini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Aphodiinae), Ataenius damzeni Bukejs & Alekseev, new species is described and illustrated from this Lagerstätte. A key to the species of Scarabaeidae that have been described from European Eocene amber is provided.
