Abstract

Two new species of the genus Lebia (s.l.) Latreille, 1802 are described: Lebia akinobuella Kirichenko-Babko, Kopeć et Krzemiński sp. nov., and Lebia baehri Kirichenko-Babko et Perkovsky sp. nov., from Baltic and Rovno ambers, respectively. Both described species belong to the subtribe Lebiina Bonelli, 1810, and exhibit similar morphological characters to representatives of the genus Lebia (s.l.). Illustrations are provided and the morphological characters of these fossil species and extant species from the subgenera of Lebia is discussed. The presence of aposematic coloration preserved in the two new fossil Lebia species is discussed and tentatively considered as an anti-predator strategy.
