Balticeler kerneggeri gen. nov., sp. nov., volume rendering of the holotype. 21. Elytra and abdomen, left lateral aspect. 22. Ventral aspect of median part of body showing pro-, meso- and metasterna; the arrows point to the insertions of the setae on mesocoxa, metacoxa and metatrochanter. 23.

Abbreviations: as – apical seta of elytra; asp – protibial apical spur; cls – clip setae; mem – mesepimeron; mtem – external lobe of metepimeron; mtes – metanepisternum; n – negative imprint of the tibia on the inclusion wall; p – shrunken exoskeleton of the fossilized tibia (= positive); pl – epipleural apical plica of elytra; psp – protibial apical spur; pstp – prosternal process; sas – subapical seta of elytra; tc – tarsal claws.
