Jacek Szwedo received his M.Sc. (1990) and Ph.D. (1997) at University of Silesia in Katowice, and his habilitation dissertation he defended at the Museum and Institute of Zoology, Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw (2013). He used to work at Department of Zoology, University of Silesia in Katowice, Museum and Institute of Zoology, Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, and since 2014 at the Department of Invertebrate Zoology and Parasitology, University of Gdańsk. Since May 2017 he is Head of Laboratory of Evolutionary Entomology and Museum of Amber Inclusions, University of Gdańsk. His research interests cover evolution, taxonomic diversity and morphological disparity, systematics and distribution of the Hemiptera, particularly Fulgoromorpha and Cicadomorpha, and their relatives. He is studying inclusions in amber, rock-preserved fossils, as well as modern representatives of the hemipterans, to recover their morphology, phylogeny, taxonomy, evolutionary and biogeographical scenarios, palaeoecology and palaeobiodiversity.

Who’s that girl? A singular Tropiduchidae planthopper from the Eocene Baltic amber (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha)
Plain Language Abstract
Tropiduchidae (planthoppers) is a family with extremely high morphological disparity resulting in numerous tribes, both extant and extinct, placed within. Here we describe a new tribe of these insects from the Eocene Baltic amber, presenting a peculiar set of morphological characters not found in any of known recent or fossil representatives of the family. The morphological peculiarities of this fossil are expressed by ‘flatoidinisation syndrome’ which is discussed in the paper.

Se describe una nueva tribu de fulgoromorfos Tropiduchidae del ámbar del Báltico-Gedanotropidini trib. nov., con un nuevo género y especie Gedanotropis sontagae gen. et sp. nov. Se presenta una clave para las tribus y géneros de la familia Tropiduchidae del ámbar eoceno del Báltico. Se propone el uso de la espectrofotometría FT-IR para confirmar la procedencia de estos materiales de museo y su adecuada documentación. Se presentan y discuten las consecuencias ecoevolutivas de los caracteres morfológicos particulares de los nuevos taxones y el "síndrome de flatoidinización".
Palabras clave: nueva tribu; nuevo género; nueva especie; “síndrome de flatoidinización”; ámbar báltico

Résumé en Français
« Who’s that girl? » Un fulgore Tropiduchidae (Hemiptera : Fulgoromorpha) particulier provenant de l’ambre éocène de la Baltique
Une nouvelle tribu de fulgores Tropiduchidae de l’ambre de la Baltique, Gedanotropidini trib. nov., avec un nouveau genre et une nouvelle espèce Gedanotropis sontagae gen. et sp. nov., est décrite. Une clé des tribus et des genres de Tropiduchidae de l’ambre éocène de la Baltique est présentée. L’utilisation de la spectroscopie infrarouge à transformée de Fourier (IRTF) pour confirmer la provenance du matériel de musée et le documenter est proposée. Les conséquence écoévolutives des caractères morphologiques particuliers des nouveaux taxons et le « syndrome de flatoidinisation » sont introduits et discutés.
Mots-clés : nouvelle tribu ; nouveau genre ; nouvelle espèce ; « syndrome de flatoidinisation » ; ambre de la Baltique

Deutsche Zusammenfassung
Who’s that girl? Eine einzelne tropiduchide Spitzkopfzikade aus dem eozänen Baltischen Bernstein (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha)

Es wird ein Schlüssel zu den Tribus und Gattungen der Tropiduchidae aus dem eozänen Baltischen Bernstein vorgelegt. FT-IR-Spectrophotometrie wird zur Herkunftsbestätigung von Museumsmaterial und seiner Dokumentation vorgeschlagen. Es werden die ökoevolutionären Auswirkungen von bestimmten morphologischen Merkmalen der neuen Taxa diskutiert und das ‘Flatoidinisationsssyndrom’ wird eingeführt.
