Paracupes svitkoi (Coleoptera: Cupedidae), a new species from the Cretaceous of New Jersey

• Sara H. LUBKIN

Abstract:

Paracupes svitkoi is a new species based on a single specimen from the Raritan Formation of the Cretaceous of New Jersey. The fossil, a well-preserved, charcoalified head, is the first fossil member of the genus Paracupes KOLBE, 1898. It is very similar to the modern species in the genus.
