A new, extinct species of Allodia Winnertz is described from early Miocene amber Ethiopia. paleoafricana sp. nov. mostly characterized by the scutum with strong anteromarginal, dorsocentral, and lateral setae wing stem M-fork slightly shorter than vein r–m base M4–CuA fork aligned r–m. The assignment to any two subgenera stricto sensu or Brachycampta remains equivocal as fossil intermingles traits found in both taxa. known Palearctic region, while only a few have been Africa. In this regard, new Ethiopia brings significant information regarding Afrotropical distribution natural history genus.
