Abstract - Anobium jacquelinae sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Anobiidae: Anobiinae) from Baltic amber is herein described. Differences between this species and another described species of the same genus from Baltic amber (Anobium sucineomarginatum Kuska, 1992) are outlined. The new species is also compared with the extant Anobium punctatum (De Geer, 1774), the most common and widespread species of the genus, as well as two other extant species of Anobium from the Northern Hemisphere, viz. A. pertinax Fabricius, 1775 and A. emarginatum Duftschmidt, 1825.
