The fauna of scutigeromorph centipedes in the Dominican Republic is studied for the first time based on a sample of 28 individuals collected at 21 localities in 12 provinces. This sample was found to represent two species: Sphendononema guildingii (Newport, 1844) and Dendrothereua linceci (Wood, 1867), both species with a wide geographic distribution in the Caribbean and tropical America. The widely introduced and synanthropic species of Mediterranean origin Scutigera coleoptrata (Linnaeus, 1758) has never been found in Hispaniola. The scutigeromorph centipedes found as fossilized inclusions in the Dominican amber remain to be properly studied and identified.

Cent\ípedos escutigeromorfos (Chilopoda: Scutigeromorpha) de Rep\ública Dominicana, La Hispaniola

Resumen: Se estudia por primera vez la fauna de ciempi\és escutigeromorfos de la Rep\ública Dominicana basados en una muestra de 28 individuos colectados en 21 localidades de 12 provincias. Se encontr\ó que esta muestra representa dos especies: Sphendononema guildingii (Newport, 1844) y Dendrothereua linceci (Wood, 1867), ambas especies con una amplia distribuci\ón en el Caribe y Am\érica tropical. La especie ampliamente introducida y sinantr\ópica de origen mediterr\áneo Scutigera coleoptrata (Linnaeus, 1758) nunca ha sido colectada en La Hispaniola. Los ciempi\és escutigeromorfos encontrados como f\ósiles en el \ámbar dominicano todav\ía no han sido apropiadamente estudiados e identificados.
