New species and new record of embiids (Insecta: Embiodea) from upper Eocene of Europa
The second species of the genus Electroembia, E. olmii sp. n., is described from Baltic amber (Priabonian). The new species have fully developed fore and hind wings contrary to wingless E. antiqua, the type and previously single known species of the genus Electroembia. The first embiid from Rovno amber (Priabonian of Ukraine) is described. The only specimen is a female or a last instar female larva, making precise identification impossible. However, the described species is clearly not conspecific to the described webspinners from Baltic amber.
