| Abstract: | In this paper, nine new fossil species of Trichoptera in Dominican amber are described: Antillopsyche auricula n. sp., Antillopsyche digitus n. sp., Atopsyche perlucida n. sp., Calosopsyche palaeoelegans n. Sp., Cernotina pulchra n. sp., Chimarra (Chimarrita) palaenova n. sp., Cubanoptila longiscapa n. sp., Macronema hispaniola n. sp., Phylloicus velteni n. sp. Thus 31 fossil species are verified in Dominican amber. Moreover, there is to be added a specimen of the genus Ochrotrichia (Hydroptilidae) which is referred to the extant Ochrotrichia aldama (MOSLEY, 1937), and an innominate female of the Neotropical genus Austrotinodes, proving the existence of the family Ecnomidae in Dominican amber. The amber caddisfilies are divided into 15 genera and 11 families. The low occurrence of caddisflies in Dominican amber points at a lack of waters in the tropic mountain forest of Hispaniola at the Miocene, 15-20 million years ago. However, with 12 of 15 genera caddisflies indicate a preference for flowing water. The discussion deals with the reconstruction of aquatic habitats as well as of palaeoblogeographical aspects.
