9E6387C0014A613BFF28FD8CFB8A0646.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet is used as a composite noun in genitive case and refers to the place of the holotype deposition. The epithet is formed after the German “ der Dohnaturm ” [Latin “ turris ” for German “ der Turm ” (the tower)]. Der Dohnaturm was built as the part of the fortification system of the former East Prussian capital Königsberg in 1853 and now accommodates the Kaliningrad Amber Museum.	en	Bukejs, Andris (2017): New fossil taxa of Ischalia Pascoe (Coleoptera: Ischaliidae) from Eocene Baltic amber.

9E6387C0014A613BFF28FD8CFB8A0646.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Absence of humeral elytral carinae suggests placement of species in subgenus Eupleurida (in contrast with subgenera Nitidischalia Young, 2011 and Ischalia s. str., which have humeral carinae reduced or fully developed). Macropterous metathoracic wings (completely lacking in all known extant Eupleurida species) is considered a plesiomorphic character state and not as a subgenerically diagnostic feature. Similarity of habitus between newly described species and Ischalia (Eupleurida) vancouverensis Harrington, 1892 from western North America provides additional support for placement within Ischalia (Eupleurida). Ischalia (Eupleurida) dohnaturris sp. nov. differs from extant species of subgenus in possessing following combination of characters: (1) macropterous metathoracic wings, (2) very short median longitudinal pronotal carina, (3) comparatively slender antennae with broadened terminal antennomere, (4) long and narrow elytra, (5) posterior pronotal angles not protruding, (6) apparently monochromatic elytra. This new species can be readily distinguished from other fossil Ischalia representatives by its narrow body, elytral carinae, pronotal structure, and long pubescence on elytral base.	en	Bukejs, Andris (2017): New fossil taxa of Ischalia Pascoe (Coleoptera: Ischaliidae) from Eocene Baltic amber.

Patronymic, the specific epithet is dedicated to the son of the second author – Daniel Bukejs.	en	Bukejs, Andris (2017): New fossil taxa of Ischalia Pascoe (Coleoptera: Ischaliidae) from Eocene Baltic amber.

9E6387C0014F6137FF28FBDFFB96063E.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. As stated for the new subgenus. Additionally, I. (Telnovia) danieli sp. nov. differs from the similar looking fossil I. (Eupleurida) dohnaturris sp. nov. due to its wider habitus, short apical spur on mesothoracic and metathoracic tibiae, absence of long recumbent pubescence on anterior portions of elytra, shorter median longitudinal carina, and subtrapezoidal scutellar shield.	en	Bukejs, Andris (2017): New fossil taxa of Ischalia Pascoe (Coleoptera: Ischaliidae) from Eocene Baltic amber.
