Dorothee, a new genus of Cryptinae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) from Peru Author Herrera-Flórez, Andrés Fabián text Zootaxa 2021 2021-07-28 5005 4 587 595 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.5005.4.6 1175-5326 5142132 060770FF-866D-45B1-BF41-1B61B1DEE670 Dorothee gen. nov. ( Figs 1–18 ) Type species. Dorothee panguanensis n. sp. , by present designation. Diagnosis . This new genus is similar to Aprix Townes, 1961 and Chamula in having lower tooth of mandible as long as upper tooth ( Fig. 11 ), frons with a single median horn ( Figs 11 & 12 ), apical margin of clypeus without a median pair of tubercles ( Fig. 11 ) and frontal horn without a groove along its upper edge ( Fig. 12 ). However, it differs from Chamula in not having a distinct epomia ( Figs 2 & 9 ) and from Aprix (from Australia ) in lacking a dorsal lobe in the lower valve of ovipositor ( Fig. 17 ). Dorothee also differs from Trachyglutus (from Brazil ) in having a horn in the frons ( Figs 11 & 12 ). FIGURES 1 & 2. Holotype of Dorothee panguanensis sp. n. , 1. Habitus (lateral view), 2. Mesosoma (lateral view). Female . Fore wing 14.4 mm . Hind wing 10.2 mm . Body rather slender. Head . Frons with a moderate median conical horn ( Figs 11 & 12 ); clypeus wide, convex, its apical margin truncate forming a narrow flange ( Fig. 11 ); malar space 0.85 × as long as the base of mandible ( Figs 9 & 11 ); lower part of gena forming a distinct flange, ventrally bordered by the hypostomal carina ( Fig. 9 ); lower tooth of the mandible about the same length as upper tooth ( Fig. 11 ); eye laterally 3.1 × as long as temple ( Fig. 9 ). Mesosoma . Lower corner of pronotum with a sharp end ( Figs 2 & 9 ); epomia almost completely absent (ventrally vestigial) ( Figs 2 & 9 ); epicnemium smooth; notauli distinct, reaching center of mesoscutum ( Figs 4 & 9 ); propodeum convex, with anterior transverse carina complete and strong, posterior transverse carina only represented by sublateral teeth ( Figs 2 & 4 ); transverse furrow at base of propodeum moderately broad ( Fig. 2 ); fore wing with areolet about 1.7 × as wide as high, receiving 2m-cu distad of center, basad of 3rs-m, which is only pigmented in its basal 0.40 and in its apex ( Figs 5 & 6 ); fore wing with 1cu-a basad of M&RS by about 0.13 × its length ( Fig. 6 ). FIGURES 3 & 4. Holotype of Dorothee panguanensis sp. n. , 3. Habitus (dorsal view), 4. Mesosoma (dorsal view). Metasoma . Petiole of 1 st abdominal segment subcylindrical, mostly rounded, the juncture of its sternite and tergite not marked by a distinct suture ( Figs 14 & 15 ); base of petiole with a lateral triangular tooth ( Fig. 16 ); apex of first sternite opposite to spiracle ( Fig. 14 ); hind tibia 0.76 × as long as ovipositor ( Fig. 13 ); tip of lower valve of ovipositor without lobe ( Fig. 17 ).

The genus name is dedicated to the German geographer Dorothee Uchtmann , with my respect and admiration for her undergraduate work on deforestation in the Colombian Amazon and wishing her all the best in her Master’s studies in sustainable development.
