The genus Urgleptes Dillon (1956) is reviewed for Hispaniola. Five new species of Urgleptes from the Dominican Republic are described herein: U. charynae Ravin & Lingafelter, sp. n. (La Vega province), U. conjunctus Ravin & Lingafelter, sp. n. (Peravia Prov.), U. curtipennis Ravin & Lingafelter, sp. n. (Independencia Prov.), U. marionae Ravin & Lingafelter, sp. n. (Monseñor Nouel Prov.), and U. obliteratus Ravin & Lingafelter, sp. n. (Pedernales Prov.). Two additional, previously described species are newly recorded for Hispaniola: U. puertoricensis Gilmour and U. sandersoni Gilmour. It is established that U. haitiensis Gilmour is a new synonym of U. sandersoni. Thus there are seven species of Urgleptes recorded for Hispaniola. For all species photographs, illustrations, full descriptions, distribution maps, and a dichotomous key are included for their identification.
