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