Paleohemilophus dominicanus Martins & Galileo
Diagnosis.
Although similar in size and proportions to the larger Calocosmus species, such as Calocosmus robustus and Calocosmus nigritarsis , it is easily distinguished from all other species and genera of Hispaniolan Hemilophini by having antennomeres 3 and 4 swollen ( Martins and Galileo 1999).
Notes.
Known only as a fossil in Dominican amber that is at least 14 million years old, this species is extinct ( Martins and Galileo 1999).
