Sucinorhagonycha carsteni sp. nov. from the Baltic amber deposits of Yantarny, Kaliningrad Region, Russia, is described and diagnosed in this paper. It is the first confirmed species of Cantharidae Cantharinae with visible female gonostyli. Until now, gonostyli were visible only in the fossil material of a species from Cretaceous Burmese (Kachin) amber which was attributed, with doubts, to the subfamily Malthininae.
