A new species of longhorn beetles from the subfamily Spondylidinae, Cephalallus vitalii sp. n., is described and illustrated from the earliest Ypresian Fur Formation in Denmark. The new species differs from other species of the genus Cephalallus Sharp, 1905 in the eyes without emargination, shorter third and fourth antennomeres, and the sides of the pronotum lacking granules. This discovery marks the first record of Cerambycidae from the Fur Formation.
