These are the first records of the genera Eugonus, Piezobarra, Choragus, Neoxenus and Cyptoxenus in the fauna of Hispaniola. The genera Toxonotus, Eugonus, Piesocorynus, Piezobarra, Neoxenus and Cyptoxenus are reported in the fossil state for the first time. These new taxa further demonstrate the diversity of the Curculionoidea fauna in New World amber.
