Abstract
A new genus and species, Jantarineura serafini Gębicki, Walczak and Świerczewski, belonging to the extinct tribe Protodikraneurini of the subfamily Typhlocybinae was described from Baltic amber. The description includes visible external characters based on a single female, especially tegminal venation. Protodikraneurini was classified as a distinctive or at least characteristic element of the fauna inhabiting ecosystems of amber forests. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
