【 摘 要 】

Cacomorphocerus eocenicus sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Cantharidae) is described and illustrated on the base of one well-preserved specimen from Eocene Baltic amber. It is the sixth described species of this fossil genus, and it is characterized by possessing antennomeres 6-7 that are slightly modified and dilated (while antennomeres 3-9 are modified, and saucer-shaped in other known species). A key to the fossil species of Cacomorphocerus is here provided.
