Stenommatomorphus hexarthrus gen. et sp. nov. (Dryophthoridae: Stromboscerinae) is described from the Late Eocene Rovno amber. This is the first fossil representative of the subfamily. The new genus is most close to Synommatus Pascoe, from which it differs in the pronotum and elytra less coarsely sculptured, the intervals not carinate, and the scutellum present.
