ABSTRACT. Based on a fossil specimen from the Late Eocene Rovno amber (Ukraine), the Eocene species and genus Xenohimatium rovnense gen.n., sp.n., is described. The new genus is similar to the extant Xenoscelis, differing in procoxal cavities partially open behind; lateral carina on elytra absent; pronotum shorter, without strong excision on anterior margin.
