Cephalotes hispaniolicus is an extinct species of ant in the subfamily Myrmicinae known from a single Middle Miocene fossil found in amber on Hispaniola.

C. hispaniolicus was described from a solitary fossil worker caste ant which was preserved as an inclusion in a transparent chunk of Dominican amber.

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

[1] At the time of description, the holotype specimen was preserved in the collections of the State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart in Germany.

Living and fossil Cephalotes, Eucryptocerus, Exocryptocerus and Zacryptocerus ants were examined in 1999 by Maria L. De Andrade and Cesare Baroni Urbani with a redescription of included species being published in the journal Stuttgarter Beiträge zur Naturkunde.

De Andrade and Baroni Urbani coined the specific epithet hispaniolicus as a neologism referring to the island of origin for the amber and species, Hispaniola.
