Material examined. One specimen with collection number JDC-11965 [ JDC], Baltic amber; adult, sex unknown. A complete beetle is included in a transparent, yellow amber piece with dimensions of 20× 17 mm and a maximum thickness of 5 mm, preserved without supplementary fixation. Syninclusions: absent.
Note. Body length of beetle JDC-11965 (including visible part of head) 4.9 mm. This specimen has 5-5-4 tarsal formula, protruding hemispherical eyes, and 11-segmented antennae with weakly developed 2-segmented club. Specimen JDC-11965 shares with the holotype of Z. auriborussiensis other external characters and is considered conspecific. The smaller body size ( 4.9 mm in contrast to 5.3 mm in the holotype) is interpreted as intraspecific variability.
