International audienceCryptostemma eocenica sp. nov., the first fossil representative of the family Dipsocoridae (Heteroptera: Dipsocoromorpha), is described from Eocene amber of France on the basis of a single macropterous female. The specimen is very ‘modern’ in appearance, demonstrating the remarkable morphological stability of this family since 53 Ma. Its generic affinities are difficult to estimate because the modern genera are mostly separated by male genitalia or female internal structures.Cryptostemma eocenica sp. nov. est le premier Dipsocoridae fossile (Heteroptera : Dipsocoromorpha) décrit de l’ambre éocène de France sur la base d’une femelle macroptère. Le spécimen est très « moderne » d’aspect, ce qui démontre la remarquable stabilité morphologique de cette famille depuis 53 Ma. Ses affinités phylogénétiques sont difficiles à établir, car les genres modernes sont discriminés sur la base des génitalia mâles ou des structures internes femelles
