Clown beetles of the genus Eutriptus Wollaston, 1862 (Coleoptera: Histeridae) in Eocene Baltic amber
Eutriptus Wollaston, 1862 is a small histerid genus currently discontinuously distributed from the Canary Islands to the Himalayas. According to the last revision (Lackner & Kapler, 2007), the Recent fauna includes four valid species. As characterized by Lackner & Kapler (2007), the genus can be distinguished from the very similar and widely distributed in tropical Africa and South-eastern Asia genus Diplostix Bickhardt, 1921 in the presence of longitudinal meso-metasternal striae on the metasternum.
