Abstract
A new species of Barronopsis Chamberlin et Ivie, 1941 is described for Hispaniola. This species was found in the Dominican part of the island. This is the first record of the spider family Agelenidae and the genus Barronopsis for Hispaniola. A brief discussion of the relationships of this species with those already reported for the Antillean area is included.
