A new species of the highly specialized hemipteran family of social ectosymbionts, the Termitaphididae, is reported in Miocene amber from the Dominican Republic: Termitaradus avitinquilinus, n.sp. It differs from the only other fossil termitaphidid (Termitaradus protera Poinar and Doyen), in Miocene Mexican amber, and from modern species by various distinctive features. Two of the three specimens of T. avitinquilinus are preserved in a piece of amber with its presumed host, a worker of the basal termite, Mastotermes electrodominicus Krishna and Grimaldi. The hypothesis that the family Termitaphididae is ancient and inhabited Pangaea is disputed in favor of a much more recent, Tertiary origin. It is suggested, in fact, that termitaphidids are highly modified Aradidae, possibly derived from Mezirinae. New taxon: Termitaradus avitinquilinus n. sp. 10 pp., 5 figs, gr. 8.

Cretopiesma suukyiae, new genus and species, is described, based on a unique female specimen in mid-Cretaceous (c. 100 myo) amber from northern Myanmar. Features of C. suukyiae unique for the small Recent family Piesmatidae include a long, protrudent clypeus, a dorsal carina of the head, lack of "jugal" lobes/appendices, widely separated coxae, very large scutellum, and the venation of the corium; some of these are plesiomorphic and shared with Aradidae. C. suukyiae possesses the cuticular areolation and propleural cavities distinctive to Piesmatidae. Phylogenetic analysis of Recent and fossil genera of piesmatids resulted in a cladogram with Cretopiesma as sister group to the remainder of the family. Relationships of this unusual species and of Piesmatidae within Pentatomomorpha are discussed. New taxon: Cretopiesma suukyiae n. gen., n. sp. 17 pp., 7 figs, 1 tab., gr. 8.
