  • The oldest fossil Thaumastocoridae, Protodoris minusculus n. gen., n. sp. is described from the Lowermost Eocene amber of Paris basin (France). Its phylogenetic affinities are discussed. This discovery indicates the presence of a very warm climate for the Paris basin during the Lowermost Eocene.
