<p>A new polycentropodid caddisfly species is described from Miocene Dominican amber. The family Polycentropodidae is therefore represented in the Dominican amber with two species belonging to the genus <i>Cernotina</i>: <i>C. pulchra</i> Wichard, 2007, and <i>C. fossilinova</i> sp. nov. The endemic <i>C. danieli</i> Flint &amp; Sykora, 2004, is the only representative of the genus occurring on Hispaniola today and is similar to the two fossil species. On the Caribbean islands altogether six extant species of the genus <i>Cernotina</i> are registered.</p>
