Anthophorula (Anthophorula) persephone Engel, new species, is distinguished from its modern counterparts mainly by the broader pterostigma in which its inner breadth is greater than that of its marginal veins. This record expands the Dominican amber melittofauna to 21 species. Brief comments are made on the discovery as well as the Dominican amber bees in general. The new combination Thaumatosoma (Chalicodomopsis) glaesaria (Engel) is established.Reference copy temporarily shelved on 7th floor, 7-70.Anthophorula persephone.Anthophorula.ExomalopsiniPhylogeny.Thaumatosoma glaesaria.Chalicodomopsis.Bees, FossilDominican Republic.Insects, FossilDominican Republic.Amber fossilsDominican Republic.BeesDominican RepublicPhylogeny.InsectsDominican RepublicPhylogeny.PaleoentomologyMioceneDominican Republic.PaleoentomologyDominican Republic.Engel, Michael S.Grimaldi, David A.González, Víctor H.Hinojosa-Díaz, Ismael A.Michener, Charles D.(Charles Duncan),1918-2015.American Museum novitates ;no. 3758.http://hdl.handle.net/2246/6371Click here for the local online version..b12078888multi-1904053120917ma-3C0YAMmain net refmu
