Abstract
The freshwater fish, Puntigrus tetrazona (Bleeker, 1855) is reported for the first time in Dominican Republic, Hispaniola, in a tributary of the Haina river, San Cristóbal province. Several individuals were collected at different points along the tributary, however, organisms of this species were not found in the main course of the river. It is presumed that it was intentionally introduced and that it is a species with great invasive potential.
