Five species of Mimapsilopa are reported from the West Indies (includi ng Trinidad and Tobago), including three that are new: M. cubensis (Cu ba. Pinar del Rio: Soroa (2 km NW, 22 degrees 48.6'N, 83 degrees 1.0'W ); M. dominicana (Dominican Republic. La Vega: Salto Guasara (near Jar abacoa; 19 degrees 04.4'N, 70 degrees 42.1'W; 680 m); and M. bacoa (Do minican Republic. La Vega: Jarabacoa (5 km S; 19 degrees 05.8'N, 70 de grees 36.5'W; 640 m). Two of the new species, M. cubensis and M. domin icana, are sister species, forming a monophyletic lineage within Mimap silopa that is characterized by the wide face and greatly enlarged ant enna of the male. The third new species is closely related to M. cress oni Lizarralde de Grosso.
