Acanthostichus hispaniolicus is an extinct species of ant in the subfamily Dorylinae known from a group of possibly Miocene[1] fossils found on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola.

[2] The amber was produced by the extinct Hymenaea protera, which formerly grew on Hispaniola, across northern South America and up to southern Mexico.

The holotype and paratype fossils are composed of complete adult workers which were originally preserved in the same amber specimen along with a number of other insects.

The specimen, now cut into smaller pieces,[2] was collected from an undetermined amber mine, in fossil bearing rocks of the Cordillera Septentrional mountains, northern Dominican Republic.

De Andrade's 1998 type description of the new species was published in the Swiss journal Mitteilungen der Schweizerischen Entomologischen Gesellschaft.
