Abstract
Abstract Tytthonyx milleri Ivie, Fanti, and Ferreira, new species (Cantharidae, Tytthonyxini) is described from Miocene Dominican amber. The new species is compared with the other two described fossil taxa of the genus, as well as two additional, undescribed Dominican amber cantharid species, and their morphology is discussed. A comparison of extant and fossil Tytthonyx LeConte and Caccodes Sharp is given.
