Voltinia dramba is a fossil metalmark butterfly, found in pieces of amber in the Dominican Republic on the island of Hispaniola in 2004. The butterfly, belonging to the extant genus Voltinia, is the first species to be taxonomically described from amber and the first true fossil of an adult riodinid. Five specimens, all females, were found in pieces of amber from the resin of the extinct leguminous tree Hymenaea protera (Poinar 1991). Also, the genus Voltinia contains nine heterogeneous species that range from Mexico to Brazil. The fossil appeared to be 15-25 million years old and it's a holotype female fossil. However, the fossil's origin may be unknown, it is ingrained in highly polymerized Dominican amber.

- Voltinia dramba is een uitgestorven vlindersoort uit de familie van de prachtvlinders (Riodinidae), onderfamilie Riodininae. De soort is alleen bekend van vijf vrouwtjes die zijn aangetroffen ingesloten in barnsteen uit de Dominicaanse Republiek. De geschatte leeftijd is 15 tot 25 miljoen jaar (Mioceen - Oligoceen). Het is de eerste vlindersoort die volledig taxonomisch beschreven is vanuit fossielen en de eerste vondst van een fossiele volwassen vlinder uit de familie van de prachtvlinders (Riodinidae). (nl)
