A new weevil species - Baris grossacavis Poinar and Legalov, sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) - is described from Dominican amber. The new species is close to Baris rubripes Casey, 1892, but differs by possessing large punctures over much of its body, including the pronotum; elytral intervals with rows of narrow scales, and narrow elytral intervals. The fossil is the first record of the subfamily Baridinae from any amber source and the first record from the Miocene.
