Costa Rica (ACG, mid-elevation rain forest and cloud forest). Etymology. Promicrogaster pablouzagai is named in honor of 14-year-old Juan Pablo Uzaga Lopez from the Colonia Bolanos school for his growing enthusiasm for understanding and protecting the wild nature that occurs in his homeland. Comments. Based in body color, propodeum sculpture, and shape of areolet in fore wing, this is the most distinctive Promicrogaster among all species studied.
