The properties of electrostatic transverse shear waves in a strongly coupled dusty plasma are examined using the nonlinear version of the generalized hydrodynamic equation. In the kinetic limit, it is shown that strongly coupled plasmas support localized dipolar vortexlike solutions with amplitude modulated periodically.
