Narrative:

I instructed the handoff assist to amend the flight plan for air carrier X. Seeing aluri as the next fix; and never hearing of that fix; I assumed that it was well in ZNY's airspace. Apparently aleri is before lucti in ZMA's airspace; causing the flight plan to back track; resulting in an error within oceanic procedures (atops). I should have gone to the end of the airway to tie in the route of flight at the correct fix instead of assuming or called ZMA to confirm. Fdio; eram; erid; and/or atops (fligh plan processing softwares) should provide notification alerting the controller that the route entered was in error is back tracking on itself.
