            <p> Palaeobasanus gen. n.</p>
            <p> Family  Tenebrionidae Latreille, 1802</p>
            <p> Subfamily  Diaperinae Latreille, 1802</p>
            <p> Tribe  Scaphidemini Reitter, 1922</p>
            <p> Type species:  Palaeobasanus neli sp. n.</p>
            <p> Etymology. The name of the new genus is formed from the Greek “palaeo” (παλαιός – old, ancient) and generic name “  Basanus ”. Gender masculine. </p>
            <p>Description. Body oval and medium-sized (body length nearly 7.5 mm). Mouth parts of tenebrioid type, with open basal parts (cardo and stipes); mentum transverse, trapezoidal; gula with rounded margins, not reaching submentum. Antennomeres 5–7 elongate; apical antennomeres (beginning from antennomere 8) forming an unclear club. Pronotum trapezoidal, widest at base; anterior margin twice narrower than base; each side of pronotum with deep furrow along edge. Prosternum moderate before coxae, about twice as long as postcoxal bridge, with cleft lateral margin of the procoxal cavities. Prosternal process narrow between coxae and strongly widened behind coxae. Mesocoxal cavities partly closed by mesepimera and mesotrochantin. Elytra with eight visible distinct striae, each with one row of dense and distinct punctures (elytra with indistinct lateral striae in extant scaphidemins) and scutellary striola; interstriae convex; epipleura narrow, terminating before apex. Abdomen with distinct intersegmental membranes between ventrites 3–5; abdominal intercoxal process widely rounded. Legs (at least hind ones) moderately long, with tibiae subequal in length with femora. Metatarsomere 1 long, but slightly shorter than metatarsomere 4.</p>
            <p> Comparison.  Palaeobasanus gen n. clearly belongs to the tribe  Scaphidemini due to the following characters: tarsi heteromerous; base of scape concealed by gena; tenebrioid mouthparts (open cardo and stipes); cleft lateral margin of procoxal cavities; present scutellary striola; mesocoxal cavities partly closed by mesepimeron and trochantine; tenebrionoid hinging of abdomen with visible intersegmental membranes (defensive glands present). </p>
            <p> The new genus is externally similar to extant species of the genus  Basanus Lacordaire, 1859 but clearly differs from all  Scaphidemini in the structure of the abdominal intercoxal process, which is widely rounded unlike widely truncate. The genus additionally differs from </p>
            <p> –  Scaphidema Redtenbacher, 1848 and  Spiloscapha Bates, 1873 in the antennomeres 4–7 not elongate (gradually or abruptly widening distally) and the large body (in extant genera, the body length is within 3.5–5 mm) </p>
            <p> –  Basanus Lacordaire, 1859 in the narrower antennomeres and the metatarsomere 1 slightly shorter than metatarsomere 4 (in  Basanus , the metatarsomere 1 is clearly longer than metatarsomere 4). </p>
            <p>– Laoscapha Schawaller, 2016 in the antennomeres 4–7 not elongate and the metatarsomere 1 clearly longer than metatarsomere 2.</p>

            <p> Palaeobasanus neli sp. n.</p>
            <p>(Figs 1–2)</p>
            <p> Type material:  holotype MNT 06 3415 (sex unknown)</p>
            <p>Description. Body length about 7.5 mm. Head about half as wide as pronotum; mentum with longitudinal median elevation (Fig 1D); Head underside with dense and coarse subcircular punctures around throat emargination; other ventral sclerites with undulate transverse wrinkle-like foveae (Fig. 1D); gula short, with weakly rounded margins. Antennomeres 4-7 elongate, with dense simple trichoid sensillae (Fig. 1C), without sensory complexes; apical antennomeres (beginning from antennomere 8) subquadrate and short.</p>
            <p>Pronotum transverse (Figs 1A, B, D; 2A), nearly 3.5 times as wide as long, widest at base; lateral margins and base evenly weakly arcuate; anterior margin shallowly emarginated; lateral margins strongly beaded (Fig. 1B, D); anterior angles subacute, weakly projected; posterior angles subacute but rounded at tip.</p>
            <p>Elytra at base little wider than base of pronotum, with eight striae and scutellary striola; humeri rounded, not projected; striae deep, bearing a row of circular punctures at bottom (Figs 1A, 2A). Mesoventrite with median elevation and transverse wrinkles, strongly depressed before mesocoxae; mesocoxae transversely suboval; metaventrite transverse (2.6 times as wide as long, with median impressed furrow in basal part and groove along metacoxal cavities; intercoxal process of metaventrite rounded and beaded.</p>
            <p>Legs moderately long; femora not strongly protruded beyond body lateral edges; tibiae straight; metatarsi with long metatarsomeres 1 and 4; metatarsomere 4 the longest (longer than metatarsomeres 2 and 3 combined).</p>
            <p>Etymology. The species is named in honor of Prof. André Nel (MNHN), the famous paleoentomologist, who made a great contribution to the study of the paleofauna of Menat.</p>
            <p> Comparative diagnosis is the same as for the genus  Palaeobasanus gen. n.</p>
