| Abstract | Aivalykus dominicanus, n, sp., is described from two male specimens preserved in Dominican amber, and represents the first described species of the genus from the Neotropics. The specimens are 15-45 million years old. The new species is remarkable by the elongated abdominal terga (longer than the rest of the body), and is distinguished from the four extant Aivalykus species by a more elongated first abdominal tergite and differences in fore wing venation. |
