| Abstract | Eulechriops argyrosoma sp. n. (Curculionoidea: Conoderinae: Lechropini) and Geratozygops platysoma sp. n., G. stenosoma sp. n. and G. arsinotus sp. n. are described from Dominican amber. The small size, nearly parallel side of the pronotum and silvery sheen distinguish E. argyrosoma from other members of the genus, which has not been recorded from Hispaniola. Rostral, pronotal and size characters separate the three Geratozygops species from the single species (G. atropos) previously described from Dominican amber. |
