Head anteriorly whitish (234,207,178) with supra-antennal area and vertex black (35,33,35). Orbital band interrupted between 6–7 h. Mandible whitish (229,203,168), apical 0.4 dark brown (75,66,69). Malar space, apical and lateral margins of clypeus, including clypeal fovea, black. Antenna dark brown, white band composed by f5 apical 0.20, f6–10 and most of fl11. Pronotum dark brown, collar whitish. Propleuron yellowish (187,137,60). Mesoscutum black, median lobe centrally with whitish spot. Tegula and subalar ridge whitish. Epicnemium dark ferruginous with 0.25 blackish (71,51,36). Mesopleuron bright orange, dorso anteriorly with blackish area; hypoepimeron in gradient of whitish to orange. Mesepimeron, metapleuron and dorsal division of metapleuron orange (247,189,29). Scutellum whitish except for very apex black. Postscutellum blackish. Propodeum bright orange. Fore leg almost entirely orange, lighter at trochanter and tibia; t1–2 brownish yellow; t3–5 dark brown. Mid leg: orange, progressively lighter towards apex, tibia yellow; t1 brownish yellow; t2–5 dark brown. Hind leg: coxa, femur and trochanter orange; tibia mostly yellow (221,174,85), apical 0.20 partially brownish (124,69,18); t1 whitish, basal 0.25 brownish; t2–4 whitish; t5 bicolored, basal 0.60 whitish, apical 0.40 dark brown. Metasoma, T1–8 and S2–6 laterally bright orange (230,141,25), T1 with narrow posterior yellow stripe. FIGURE 15 . Fortipalpa shakira sp. nov. Holotype female. A , Dorsal view. B , Head, frontal. C , Propodeum, dorsal. D , Ovipositor tip, left side. Morphometry . See Table 1 , Figs 20–21 , and Appendix. Male . Unknown. Comments . Structure. Most similar to F. panamensis , from which it differs by having the following features: Transverse furrow anterior to propodeum centrally with very weak longitudinal wrinkles ( vs . entirely polished smooth); T2–8 faintly coriarious (vs. from distinctly coriarious T2 to smooth T8); mesopleuron polished smooth, ventral half punctate ( vs . polished smooth, centro-anteriorly with transversal striation, ventral half punctate); AWH 0.53 ( vs . 0.71– 0.96); ovipositor ventral valve apex with 17 teeth ( vs . 14–15); scuto-scutellar groove with distinct longitudinal wrinkles ( vs . with vestigial longitudinal wrinkles); metapleuron densely punctate ( vs . densely punctate-rugulose). Also similar to F. exelysae , but differs by having the following features: Notaulus reaching about 0.30 of mesoscutum length ( vs . 0.39–0.54); mesopleuron polished smooth, ventral half punctate ( vs . polished smooth, centroanteriorly with transversal striation, ventral half punctate); AWH 0.53 ( vs . 0.68–0.90); area behind anterior transverse carina transversally strigate, arched posteriorwards (vs. transversally strigate, striae generally weak, antero-laterally faint); sternaulus strongly sinuous ( vs . weakly sinuous); anterior transverse carina medially slightly arched forwards ( vs . straight); median depression of T1 elongate, very shallow ( vs . drop-shaped, distinct, large); transverse furrow anterior to propodeum centrally with very weak longitudinal wrinkles ( vs . entirely polished smooth); epomia after diverging from pronotal collar distinctly curved ( vs . approximately straight). Color pattern . Closest to F. frida , from which it differs by having dorsal margin of pronotum black ( vs . whitish); orbital band interrupted between 6–7 h ( vs . interrupted between 1–4 h); scape ventrally dark brown ( vs . whitish); and clypeus with apical and lateral margins blackish ( vs . entirely whitish). Also similar to F. panamensis , from which it differs by having tergites bright orange ( vs . black, posteriorly with whitish stripes); and antenna with white band composed by f5 apical 0.20, f6–10 and most of fl11 ( vs . by fl5 apical 0.55, fl6–12, and fl13 basal 0.40). Etymology . Shakira is a feminine given name derived from a homonymous Arabic verb meaning “to be thankful”. It is used here both as a reverence to the species and as a deference to the homonymous singer, who is from the same country where the holotype was collected. Distribution records .
