Figs 2 View FIGURE 2 a–d.

Collection data and depository: AMNH, New York (Holotype: DR8-43)/ Dominican Republic: Cordillera Septentrional between Santiago and Puerto Plata, La Toca group of mines (Dominican Amber, La Toca Fm.)/ Burdigalian, Early Miocene. The specimen was borrowed and examined at the USNM.

Published illustrations: Grimaldi & Engel 2005: 580, fig. 13: 47 (photograph).

Condition: The piece of amber is elliptical in shape (45 × 23 × 7 mm). The fossil is a female moth with an intact head (although the right antenna is broken) with most of the mouthparts visible, and the left hind wing is nicely spread allowing the examination of both the fore- and hindwing venation. A mite is attached to its left compound eye.
