Cheiloceps arachnophila sp. nov. (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea: Issidae) is described and illustrated based on a well-preserved adult male, representing the second species of Issidae known from Early Miocene (Burdigalian) Dominican amber. The only previously described issid from Dominican amber is transferred from Thionia Stål to Cheiloceps Uhler: Cheiloceps douglundbergi (Stroiński & Szwedo) comb. nov. Comparative notes on Cheiloceps and Thionia are provided.
