Abstract	A new genus and species of belid weevils, Pleurambus strongylus Poinar and Legalov, n. gen., n. sp. (Coleoptera: Belidae) in the tribe Allocorynini is described from Dominican amber. Belid fossils are quite rare and the new species is the first fossil member of the family from the Neotropics. This discovery suggests that belid diversity in Hispaniola during the Tertiary was higher that at present since no extant belids have been reported from the West Indies. Keywords: Belidae, Dominican amber, Tertiary weevils, Coleoptera, New taxa
