摘要:
Recognition of six further species amongst micro‐caddisflies from Dominican amber, raises to seven the number of hydroptilids known from these early Miocene deposits. One specimen is referred to the extantOchrotrichia (Ochrotrichia) aldama(Mosely), and three new species appear to be closely allied to other modern CaribbeanOchrotrichia.Of the remaining two species, one is inLeucotrkhiaMosely and one inAlisotrichiaFlint. For completeness, figures of the previously‐describedOchrotrichia doehleriWichard are included. Comparisons with the modern Antillean fauna suggest little change in the Neotropical element over the last 20 million years. At present, only hydroptilids with Neotropical affinities are known from Dominican amber.
