ABSTRACT. A new fossil genus of fireflies, Eolamprohiza gen.n., and a new species, E. andrushchenkoi sp.n., are described from Eocene Baltic amber. The new taxon is placed in Lamprohizinae, making it the first amber representative of the subfamily. Eolamprohiza gen.n. stands out among the other lamprohizines by the conspicuously more stout humeral elytral costa. Provided also is a checklist of fossil Lampyridae.
KEY WORDS: Coleoptera, Lampyridae, Lamprohizinae, new genus, new species, Baltic amber, palaeoentomology, Eocene.
