Diagnosis. This species can be recognized by the following unique combination of characters: the integument is red; the first five antennal segments are red, the others are black with reddish underside; the clypeus and the lower margin of eyes are pale yellow; the pubescence on the clypeus is appressed and silvery; the eyes are sinuous and strongly divergent above; the dorsal face of the hind tibia is not serrate; the pronotum is not elongated, the collar is differentiated from the disc, and is indented anterolaterally; the hind tarsal claws are evenly curved; and the wings are slightly darkened with a dark spot in the first radial 2 cell. The female of this species is unknown.

Distribution. Dominican Republic.

Host. Unknown.

Remarks. This record is based on literature only; we did not record this species in our sample. Kimsey and Wasbauer (2004) studied the holotype of I. hispaniolae providing description and illustration of the genitalia. Irenangelus hispaniolae is placed in the I. lucidus species-group (Kimsey & Wasbauer 2004) and is cited as endemic to the Dominican Republic (Perez-Gelabert 2008).
