First record of the tribe Naupactini ( Coleoptera : Curculionidae ) in Rovno amber

A new weevil, Arostropsis perkovskyi Bukejs and Legalov, sp. nov. (urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:408ECE71B191-4381-AA39-C27A3A1DA082; Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Entiminae), is described from Late Eocene Rovno amber. The new species differs from Arostropsis groehni Yunakov et Kirejtshuk, 2011 from Baltic amber in the pronotum lacking a distinct lateral ridge, it has a shorter rostrum, antennomere 2 is subequal to antennomere 3, it has wider elytra with weaker convex humeral calli and the pronotum is wider than it is long. It is the first record of the tribe Naupactini in Rovno amber and the second finding of Arostropsis in Eocene ambers.


Introduction
The subfamily Entiminae is the richest in species among the Curculionidae.The oldest representative of the subfamily is known from the Paleocene of Menat (Legalov et al., 2017).Many species are known or are recorded from Eocene ambers and impressions (Legalov, 2015).Members of different tribes were described from the earliest Eocene Oise (Legalov et al., 2019a) and Late Eocene Baltic ambers (Voss, 1953(Voss, , 1972;;Zherikhin, 1971;Wanat and Boroviec, 1986;Yunakov and Kirejtshuk, 2011;Legalov, 2012Legalov, , 2013Legalov, , 2016;;Legalov and Bukejs, 2015).Unique fauna was found in Miocene Dominican amber (Poinar Jr. et al., 2013;Franz and Zhang, 2017;Poinar Jr. and Legalov, 2017).However, not enough data are available to study the phylogeny of this subfamily.Each new find contributes to the knowledge of the evolution of this group.In this paper we describe a second species of the extinct amber genus Arostropsis Yunakov et Kirejtshuk, 2011 belonging to the tribe Naupactini.

Material and methods
The material examined comes from the collection of Carsten Gröhn (Glinde, Germany) and is deposited in the Center of Natural History (CeNak) (formerly Geological-Paleontological Institute and Museum, GPIH) of the University of Hamburg, Germany.The amber piece was polished by hand, allowing improved views of the included specimen, and was not subjected to any supplemental fixation.Observations of this specimen were made using a Nikon SMZ ® 745T stereomicroscope.The photographs were taken using a Canon 70D ® camera with a macro lens (Canon MPE-65 mm).Extended depth of field at high magnifications was achieved by combining multiple images from a range of focal planes using Helicon Focus ® v. 6.0.18 software.Measurements were taken using an ocular micrometer (expressed in millimeters).
The morphological terminology used in this paper follows Lawrence et al. (2010).
A. Bukejs and A. A. Legalov: First record of the tribe Naupactini in Rovno amber Arostropsis perkovskyi sp.nov.

Etymology
The species is named after Evgeny E. Perkovsky (Kiev), a researcher of extinct insect fauna preserved in fossil resins.
Syninclusions: three small specimens of Araneae, one specimen of an aphid (Hemiptera, Sternorrhyncha, Aphidoidea), a leg of Opiliones (Arachnida), antennae of an unknown insect, many stellate Fagaceae trichomes, unclear and stellate trichomes, and a few pieces of organic material.

Description
Size: Body length 6.8 mm, maximum width 2.1 mm; elongate, slightly convex dorsally; integument unicolorous, brown, densely covered with small elongated oval to widely oval, pale brown (dorsally) and yellowish-white (ventrally and on legs) scales.
Head: prognathous, without constriction beyond eyes, maximum width at posterior part of eye; densely covered with minute punctation, distance between punctures lesser than diameter of one puncture.Rostrum short, about 1.2 times as long as it is wide, distinctly narrower than head capsule; antennal scrobes lateral; pterygia weakly extending beyond lateral contour of rostrum; epifrons almost flat, without transverse impression or sulcus; median sulcus distinct, not continuing towards vertex.Forehead slightly convex, about 2 times as wide as the width of epifrons at the level of antennal insertions.Vertex apparently without distinct fossa.Compound eyes large, subspherical, strongly convex, lateral, with distinct facets.Mandibles massive, with scar of deciduous process, without scales; deciduous process apparently without inner basal tooth.Antennae geniculate, with 11 antennomeres, clavate, with distinct three-segmented club; moderately long, reaching base of elytra, apparently sparsely covered with fine, short setae; scape comparatively short, not extending beyond anterior one-fifth of eyes, slightly dilated apically, about 0.3 times as long as antennomeres 2-8 (funicle) combined, 2 times as long as antennomere 2, antennomeres 2-8 elongate, subcylindrical, antennomere 2 about 2.1 times as long as it is wide, antennomere 3 subequal to antennomere 2; antennomere 7 about 2 times as long as wide, antennal club spindle shaped, comparatively short and thin, about as long as antennomeres 2-3 combined, antennomere 10 about 1.7 times as wide as antennomere 7, antennomere 11 oval with tapered apex; relative length ratios of antennomeres 1-

Comparison
The new species differs from Arostropsis groehni Yunakov et Kirejtshuk, 2011 from Baltic amber in the pronotum lacking a distinct lateral ridge, shorter rostrum, antennomere 2 subequal to antennomere 3, wider elytra with weaker convex humeral calli and a pronotum wider than it is long.

Remarks
The geniculate antennae, elongate and fused ventrites 1 and 2, and ventrites 1-5 oriented in one plane, suggest placement of new species in the family Curculionidae.The massive mandibles, with a scar of the deciduous process, tibiae without an uncus and bunches of setae, suggest placement in the subfamily Entiminae.Placement of this species in the tribe Naupactini is based on the almost flat epifrons, without a transverse impression or sulcus, free tarsal claws, lateral antennal scrobes and eyes.The new species belongs to the genus Arostropsis based on open corbels and a scape comparatively short, not extending beyond the anterior one-fifth of eyes.

Discussion
The tribe Naupactini is rich in species and distributed mainly in the New World (Alonso-Zarazaga and Lyal, 1999).Only five fossil species are known in this tribe (Legalov, 2015).
The oldest representative of Entiminae from the Paleocene of France probably belongs to the Naupactini (Legalov et al., 2017).The first member of the genus Arostropsis is known from Baltic amber (Yunakov and Kirejtshuk, 2011).Two species were found from the terminal Eocene of Florissant (Wickham, 1911(Wickham, , 1914)).The extinct subtribe Brachycamacina was described from Dominican amber (Poinar Jr. et al., 2013).Seven weevil species from the subfamilies Dryophthorinae, Cossoninae, Curculioninae and Entiminae are known from Rovno amber so far (Nazarenko andPerkovsky, 2009, 2016;Nazarenko et al., 2011;Legalov et al., 2019b).Two species of the entimine weevils in the genus Paonaupactus Voss, 1953 of the tribe Anypotactini will be described soon (Legalov et al., 2019b).No members of other tribes have been so far recorded from this fossil resin.
