Heydenius dominicus n. sp. is described as a new species of fossil mermithid nematode from Dominican Republic amber. The species is represented by two specimens of parasitic juveniles that left their insect host and became embedded in the resin. The nematodes are associated with an adult male limoniid (Diptera: Limoniidae) and an adult female mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae). The parasites are thought to have emerged from the mosquito host. This is the first report of a fossil mermithid from a Neotropical area.
海登尼乌斯·多米尼克新种（Heydenius dominicus n. sp.）被描述为一种来自多米尼加共和国琥珀的化石索线虫新物种。该物种由两个寄生幼虫标本代表，它们离开昆虫宿主后被树脂包裹。这些线虫与一只成年雄性大蚊（双翅目：大蚊科）和一只成年雌性蚊子（双翅目：蚊科）有关。这些寄生虫被认为是从蚊子宿主中出来的。这是新热带地区化石索线虫的首次报道。
