摘要：
A new click-beetle, Macropunctum angulosum n. sp. (Insecta, Coleoptera, Elateridae) from the Middle Eocene (Lutetian) Fossillagerstaitte Grube Messel (Germany) is described. It is unique among the species of Macropunctum in possessing a lateral edge at the pronotum. The taxon Macropunctum is closely related to Agrypnus, Lacon and Adelocera. Together they form the Agrypnini, with Macropunctum as the presumable sistergroup of the others. Species of Macropunctum are only known from two localities in Germany, the Grube Messel near Frankfurt/M. and the Eckfelder Maar (Eifel). Both Eocene Lagerstatten are sediments from ancient lakes, transferred to bituminous clay stone because of oxygen free and abiotic conditions.
