A description is given of male sandfly found in a piece of amber from Dominican Republic that dates from the Miocene period (20-15 m.y.a). It is assigned to the genus Trichopygomyia Barreto. The position of the spines on the style and the shape of the dorsal lobes of the paramere separate this fly from other species of the genus: it is here named Trichopygomyia killickorum sp. n.
