ABSTRACT. A re-description of the genus Nganasania known from the Upper Cretaceous is given. The inclusion of the genus in the subfamily Atomariinae was confirmed. The key for distinguishing close genera of the subfamily is given. Nganasania belongs to the group of atomariine genera, which is characterized by tibia with apical spurs, tarsal formula 5-5-5, mostly broadly-oval shape of the body, metasternum without a median longitudinal line, and prosternal process with parallel lines in sides: Ootypus, Tisactia, Curelius, Ephistemus.
