Abstract

Apicrenus fossilis, a new neotropical apiomerine fossil genus, is described and compared with annectant genera. This new genus is distinguished from other consubfamilials by the following combination of characters: anteriorly located eyes, with their margins flushing with the lateral margins of the head, anterior acetabula not visible from above, absence of collar, and presence of two triangular discal corial cells in the fore wing.
