A new fossil species, Pterolophosoma otiliae nov. gen. nov. sp. (Lamiinae), included in Dominican amber (Early Miocene) is described.

Remarks about another specimen of Plectromerus tertiarius Vitali, 2004 and of Plectromerus grimaldii Nearns & Branham, 2005 (Cerambycinae, Curiini) are added to the original description.

(in English with Spanish summary).

Additional notes
The systematic position of Pterolophosoma otiliae nov. gen. nov. sp. among the current tribes of Lamiinae is discussed but it remains still questionable.
Biologic data are proposed.

New reconstructions of habitus and anatomic features of of Plectromerus tertiarius Vitali, 2004 and of Plectromerus grimaldii Nearns & Branham, 2005 are provided.
