( Figs. 1 , 2 ) Type material: [ CNU ] Holotype: Holotype male in a 25x10 x 3 mm cabochon shaped piece of Dominican amber ( Fig. 1 ). Dorsal surface flat and ventral surface convex structures . Description: Male : Body elongate, length 5.61 mm . Coloration. Ground color dark brown. Head: almost pale brown because of pale compound eyes; frons narrowly dark brown; clypeus pale brown; antennae near dark brown; first antennomere entirely dark brown, its apex pale; other antennomeres dark brown except for pale basal part; labium uniformly pale brown. Thorax: pronotum with anterior part and lateral margin dark brown, posterior part slightly paler with dark punctures; pronotal collar dark with mesial pale part; scutellum near dark brown; evaporative area of metathoracic glands pale brown; hemelytra mostly pale, subhyaline, with anterior and posterior parts of corium dark brown; apical part of cuneus dark brown; membrane veins dark brown; legs mostly brown with dark patterning; femur near dark brown, except for pale base; tibia mostly dark, with base and apex pale brown, tibial spine dark brown.Abdomen: pale brown, with pygophore dark brown. Surface and Vestiture . Body glossy, glabrous; antennae with short, dense and dark setae; pronotum with posterior part densely puncture; scutellum impunctate; hemelytra with dark punctures along with claval and R+M veins; tibia with distinct and medium length spines. Structure. Head: hypognathous; vertex narrow, with weak longitudinal sulcus; frons narrow, tapered posteriorly; compound eye extremely large, contiguous, reaching anterior margin of pronotum; antennae shorter than body; first antennomere cylindrical, as thick as second antennomere; second antennomere near cylindrical; third antennomere longer than fourth; third and fourth antennomeres fusiform; proportion of first to fourth antennal segments 0.6: 2.2: 1.0: 0.6; labrum longer than 1/2 of first labial segment; labium exceeding slightly mid coxae; proportion of first to fourth labial segments 0.4: 0.5: 0.6: 0.6. Thorax: pronotum trapezoid, length of pronotal midline slightly longer than 1/2 of basal width; calli swollen; scutellum almost flat in lateral view; anterior width of scutellum longer than 1/2 of basal pronotal width; lateral margin of hemelytra weakly rounded; cuneus broad; legs slender; combined length of hind femur and hind tibia shorter than body length; first and second tarsomeres subequal in length, shorter than third tarsomere, combined length of second and third tarsomeres as long as 2.5x longer than first tarsomere ( Fig. 2D ); claw with basal tooth and setiform parempodia ( Fig. 2E ). Abdomen: not elongate, not reaching apex of cuneus. Genitalia : not examined. Measurements (in mm): body length: 5.61; head length 0.58; head width including compound eyes: 1.33; vertex width: 0.08; first antennal segment: 0.64; second antennal segment: 2.28; third antennal segment: 1.02; fourth antennal segment: 0.66; anterior pronotal width: first labial segment: 0.38; second labial segment: 0.54; third labial segment: 0.61; fourth labial segment: 0.64; pronotal midline length: 0.95; basal pronotal maximal width (straight): 1.86; anterior scutellar width: 1.20; scutellar midline length: 0.83; commissure length: 1.12; outer embolial margin length (straight): 2.56; outer cuneal margin length (straight): 0.80; maximal width across hemelytron: 1.01; hindleg (femur: tibia: tarsus): 2.08: 3.22: 0.60. Distributions: Miocene Dominican amber, Dominican Republic . Etymology: Named after combination of ancient Greek, gig (gigantic) and ophthalmus (eyes), referring to the large compound eyes.
