From the modern distribution of the tribes Anypotactini and Eudiagogini (<i>Coleoptera</i>, <i>Curculionidae</i>), it can be assumed that the climate of the late Eocene amber forests was similar to that of the Valdivian temperate forests. A new species, <i>Paonaupactus zosimovichi</i> <b>sp. n.</b> from the tribe Anypotactini of the subfamily Entiminae is described from Late Eocene Rovno amber. It differs from <i>Paonaupactus gracilis</i> by its rarer, decumbent scales on the elytral interstriae, elytral interstriae, which are clearly visible between scales, and its smaller body size. This is the third species of the genus <i>Paonaupactus</i> found in Rovno amber.
