Abstract: Phasmister kraliceki sp. nov. (Fig. 10D, E) Material: Kachin amber (c. 99 Mya). Amber piece dimensions: 11 × 9 × 1.5 mm. Amber clear with several insect fragments and air bubbles. Deposited at MEBHK (P1424/E). Dimensions. Head width: 0.42 mm; width between anterior pronotal angles: 0.55 mm; width between posterior pronotal angles: 0.9 mm; pronotal length: 0.5 mm; sutural elytral length: 0.8 mm; elytral width (in pair, across widest point): 1.15 mm. Diagnostic description. The species is very similar to the recently described Phasmister hkamticus Caterino and Yamamoto, 2023. However, it differs in several characters by which it can be distinguished. Pronotal disc lacks a short, curved costa in posterolateral corners; pronotal base more sinuate; anterior pronotal margin more broadly rounded, not crenulate and more emarginate above head. Etymology: Named after Ivo Králíček, a good friend and biology tutor of J.S.P..
