G. novifasciatus
(female).
Diagnosis
Gonatocerus uat
is very similar to
G. ashmeadi
, from which it can be distinguished by F1 of the female antenna usually having 2 (rarely 1) longitudinal sensilla (
Fig. 26
) (always none in
G. ashmeadi
,
Fig. 21
) and also by the forewing blade being notably infuscated beyond venation, more conspicuously so behind the tip of the marginal vein (
Fig. 27
) (at most with a faint, uniform brownish tinge in
G. ashmeadi
,
Fig. 24
). Triapitsyn
et al.
(2006) also provide molecular evidence of the clear separation between
G. ashmeadi
and
G. u a t
.
Distribution
Argentina
,
Mexico
(Tamaulipas, San Luis Potosí), and
Peru
(Triapitsyn
et al.
2006). In the Nearctic region, it is known only from Llera de Canales in Tamaulipas,
Mexico
, just north of the “border” between the Nearctic and Neotropical regions.
