Abstract
Based on a single excellently preserved autoicous plant, Drepanolejeun ea eogena n.sp. is described from Dominican amber (probably Miocene). The plant exhibits a short terminal androecium on the main axis and on a shorter branch a gynoecium bearing a mature perianth with pycnoleje uneoid innovation. Among the numerous extant species of Drepanolejeune a in the Neotropics none seems to be very closely related.
