Copidosoma archeodominica n. sp. is described from a single female specimen preserved in Dominican amber. This specimen represents the first encyrtid fossil described outside the Palaearctic region, and only the fifth on a worldwide basis. The species belongs to an extant genus but is estimated to be 15–45 million years old.
