TY - GEN A1 - Woodruff, Robert E. T1 - A new fossil species of stag beetle from Dominican Republic amber, with Australasian connections (Coleoptera: Lucanidae) T2 - Insecta mundi : a journal of world insect systematics N2 - The first New World amber member of the family Lucanidae is described from the Dominican Republic. Its age is presumed to be Miocene (20-30 million YBP). It is also the fourth known amber species, the second Miocene fossil species, the second fossil species in the subfamily Syndesinae, and the first species (fossil or extant) of Lucanidae from the entire Caribbean. It is especially interesting because it is a member of the Australasian genus Syndesus MacLeay. Other such disjunct Dominican amber insect fossils are also discussed.
