Popis:	A new species of the genus Peltis (Coleoptera, Trogossitidae, Peltinae), P. antehercynica sp. nov., is described from the Pliocene lake sediments of the former clay pit of Willershausen (Lower Saxony, Germany). The clearly visible antennae and elytra sculpturing of fossil provide clear morphological information about generic position, and other features, some of them unique in the Peltinae, show that it is an independent new way. In addition, the importance, geology and stratigraphy of the Willershausen Fossil Lagerstatte is briefly discussed.
