Cryptostemma eocenica sp. nov., the first fossil representative of the family Dipsocoridae (Heteroptera: Dipsocoromorpha), is described from Eocene amber of France on the basis of a single macropterous female. The specimen is very modern in appearance, demonstrating the remarkable morphological stability of this family since 53 Ma. Its generic affinities are difficult to estimate because the modern genera are mostly separated by male genitalia or female internal structures. (C) 2017 Academie des sciences.
