Abstract :

[en] Un spécimen nouvellement découvert de l'espèce fossile rare, Thaumastobombus andreniformis Engel 2001 (Apidae : Apinae : Electrapini), est présenté. Ce spécimen provient de l'ambre de la Baltique du Miocène moyen. Il s'agit d'une femelle de la caste des ouvrières présentant une morphologie similaire à l'holotype excepté quelques différences morphométriques. Ces différences de mineure de taille peuvent probablement être mise en relation avec le degré de socialité de T. andreniformis.
