摘要:
Dasymutilla dominica, a new species of mutillid wasp, is described from a fossil specimen embedded in a piece of Dominican amber estimated to be from 25 to 40 million years old. Very few fossil mutillids have been recorded, and this represents the first description of a fossil mutillid from the New World. This male belongs to the bioculata species-group, and can be distinguished from closely related species by its totally black integument.
