Fig. 110 Type locality. COSTA RICA, Alajuela, ACG, Sector Rincon Rain Forest, Estacion Caribe, 415m, 10.90187, -85.27495. Holotype. ♀ in CNC. Specimen labels: 1. DHJPAR0026091. 2. COSTA RICA, Alajuela, ACG, Sector Rincon Rain Forest, Estacion Caribe, 10.viii.2007, 10.90187°N , 85.27495°W , 415m, DHJPAR0026091. 3. Caribe: Est. Caribe, Date: 4-10 Aug 07. Description. Female. Body color: body mostly dark except for some sternites which may be pale. Antenna color: scape, pedicel, and flagellum dark. Coxae color ( pro-, meso-, metacoxa): pale, dark, dark. Femora color (pro-, meso-, metafemur): pale, pale, dark. Tibiae color (pro-, meso-, metatibia): pale, pale, anteriorly pale/posteriorly dark. Tegula and humeral complex color: both pale. Pterostigma color: mostly pale and/or transparent, with thin dark borders. Fore wing veins color: partially pigmented (a few veins may be dark but most are pale). Antenna length/body length: antenna about as long as body (head to apex of metasoma); if slightly shorter, at least extending beyond anterior 0.7 metasoma length. Body in lateral view: not distinctly flattened dorso-ventrally . Body length (head to apex of metasoma): 2.1-2.2 mm. Fore wing length: 2.3-2.4 mm. Ocular-ocellar line/posterior ocellus diameter: 2.0-2.2. Interocellar distance/posterior ocellus diameter: 1.1-1.3. Antennal flagellomerus 2 length/width: 3.2 or more. Antennal flagellomerus 14 length/width: 1.4-1.6. Length of flagellomerus 2/length of flagellomerus 14: 2.0-2.2. Tarsal claws: simple. Metafemur length/width: 3.2-3.3. Metatibia inner spur length/metabasitarsus length: 0.4-0.5. Anteromesoscutum: mostly with deep, dense punctures (separated by less than 2.0 x its maximum diameter). Mesoscutellar disc: with a few sparse punctures. Number of pits in scutoscutellar sulcus: 9 or 10. Maximum height of mesoscutellum lunules/maximum height of lateral face of mesoscutellum: 0.6-0.7. Propodeum areola: completely defined by carinae, including transverse carina extending to spiracle. Propodeum background sculpture: partly sculptured, especially on anterior 0.5. Mediotergite 1 length/width at posterior margin: 2.3-2.5. Mediotergite 1 shape: mostly parallel-sided for 0.5-0.7 of its length, then narrowing posteriorly so mediotergite anterior width>1.1 x posterior width. Mediotergite 1 sculpture: mostly sculptured, excavated area centrally with transverse striation inside and/or a polished knob centrally on posterior margin of mediotergite. Mediotergite 2 width at posterior margin/length: 4.0-4.3. Mediotergite 2 sculpture: mostly smooth, with weak sculpture on anterior margin. Outer margin of hypopygium: with a wide, medially folded, transparent, semi-desclerotized area; usually with 4 or more pleats. Ovipositor thickness: about same width throughout its length. Ovipositor sheaths length/metatibial length: 1.0-1.1. Length of fore wing veins r/2RS: 1.4-1.6. Length of fore wing veins 2RS/2M: 1.4-1.6. Length of fore wing veins 2M/(RS+M)b: 0.7-0.8. Pterostigma length/width: 3.1-3.5. Point of insertion of vein r in pterostigma: clearly beyond half way point length of pterostigma. Angle of vein r with fore wing anterior margin: more or less perpendicular to fore wing margin. Shape of junction of veins r and 2RS in fore wing: distinctly but not strongly angled. Male. Unknown. Molecular data. Sequences in BOLD: 1, barcode compliant sequences: 1. Biology/ecology. Malaise-trapped. Distribution. Costa Rica, ACG. Etymology. The senior author dedicates this species to Dicky Yu (CNC, Ottawa, Canada) in appreciation of his support, and for creating the extremely valuable tool that is Taxapad.
