Psyllototus is an extinct genus of flea beetles described from the late Eocene Rovno amber of Ukraine ,[1] and from the Baltic amber of Russia and Denmark . It was named by Konstantin Nadein and Evgeny Perkovsky in 2010, and the type species is Psyllototus progenitor.[1] In 2016, a newly described extant flea beetle genus from Bolivia, Chanealtica, was found to be most similar to Psyllototus, based on the characters available for observation.[2]
Species
The genus includes four species:
- Psyllototus doeberli Bukejs & Nadein, 2014[3]
- Psyllototus groehni Bukejs & Nadein, 2013[4]
- Psyllototus progenitor Nadein & Perkovsky, 2010
- Psyllototus viking Nadein, 2015[5]
