7A6B87DB782EAB715EC3FB10B750F922.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This genus characterized by profemora without strong spine-like bristles ventrally and by thoracic and abdominal tergites with numerous short hair-like setae, while the spine-like bristles absent. By these features Raptophasma is easy recognizable from Adicophasma. From Jurassic Juramantophasma this genus differs by smaller size, proportions of femora, anterior margin of procoxae with one strong spine, and triangular female cerci (in J. sinicum Huang, Nel, Zompro & Waller, 2008, nom. corrected, body length 34 mm, profemora 2.5 times as long as wide, anterior margin of coxae with a dense row of setae, and female cerci hooked). Composition. There are two species from Baltic amber one of which is described below.	en	Perkovsky, Evgeny E., Vasilenko, Dmitry V.

7A6B87DB782EAB715EC3FB10B750F922.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Recent genera of Mantophasmatodea differ by armature of femur, by chaetotaxy of thorax and abdomen, by shape of male and female terminalia, as well as by size and coloration of body and appendages (Klass et al., 2003; Wipfler et al., 2018). These features seem to be important for separating extinct genera also.	en	Perkovsky, Evgeny E., Vasilenko, Dmitry V.

7A6B87DB782EAB745EC3F8D7B0A4FE44.taxon	discussion	Remarks. It is the first reported heelwalker finding in syninclusion with ant. It could be important because Ctenobetylus goepperti had aphid symbionts, and in the laboratory heelwalker nymphs were fed daily with aphids (Conti et al., 2019). Native aphids are very rare in South Africa but in European amber forest they were quite common (Perkovsky & Wegierek, 2018). Therefore, we propose that nymphs and adult of Raptophasma probably fed with aphids, small insects and other arthropods.	en	Perkovsky, Evgeny E., Vasilenko, Dmitry V.

New species is most similar to Adicophasma grylloblattoides but differs from the latter by enlarged pedicel and chaetotaxy of abdomen (in A. grylloblattoides, pedicel as long as wide and sternites with scattered, simple setae). In A. spinosum pedicel elongated, at least 3 times longer than wide, scapus shorter than elongated pedicel, anterior side of procoxa with 3 long bristles, and sternites with numerous sparse setae of moderated length. The features separated A. groehni from new species are follow: the posterior margin of pro-, meso- and metatorax with 6 long bristles and the posterior margin of sternites with a row of up to 8 bristles.	en	Perkovsky, Evgeny E., Vasilenko, Dmitry V.
