Y1 - 22/06/2011 UR - https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.111.1593 N2 - A new species of the extinct bee genus Ctenoplectrella Cockerell (Megachilinae: Ctenoplectrellini) is described and figured from two females preserved in middle Eocene (Lutetian) Baltic amber. Ctenoplectrella phaeton sp. n. is distinguished from its congeners on the basis of its body proportions, integumental sculpturing, wing venation, and pubescence, and is one of the more distinctive members of the genus. A revised key to the species of Ctenoplectrella is provided. PB - Pensoft Publishers SP - 41-49 SN - 1313-2989 SN - 1313-2970 IS - ER -
