Hemiptera Heteroptera Tingidae amber Dominican copal Colombian new species

Abstract

Two new fossil species (Phatnoma pulchra sp. nov., Leptopharsa antica sp. nov.) of the family Tingidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) from Dominican amber (Dominican Republic) and one new species (Leptopharsa colombiana sp. nov.) from Colombian copal (Colombia) are described and illustrated with photos. Features of similarities and differences from closely related fossil and recent species are given.
