COSTA RICA, Guanacaste, ACG, Sector Mundo Nuevo, Sendero Aguacate, 335m, 10.76901, -85.43465. Holotype. ♀ in CNC. Specimen labels: 1. DHJPAR0012283. 2. Costa Rica: Guanacaste, ACG, Sector Mundo Nuevo, Sendero Aguacate, 14.ix.2006, 335m, 10.76901, -85.43465, 06-SRNP-58299. Paratypes. 6 ♀, 6 ♂ (BMNH, CNC, INBIO, INHS, NMNH). COSTA RICA, ACG database codes: DHJPAR0012996. 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): dark, dark, dark. Femora color (pro-, meso-, metafemur): anteriorly dark/posteriorly pale, dark, dark. Tibiae color (pro-, meso-, metatibia): pale, pale, dark. Tegula and humeral complex color: tegula pale, humeral complex half pale/half dark. 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). Body in lateral view: not distinctly flattened dorso-ventrally . Body length (head to apex of metasoma): 2.1-2.2 mm, rarely 2.0 mm or less or 2.7-2.8 mm. Fore wing length: 2.3-2.4 mm, rarely 2.1-2.2 mm or 2.9-3.0 mm. Ocular-ocellar line/posterior ocellus diameter: 2.0-2.2. Interocellar distance/posterior ocellus diameter: 1.7-1.9. Antennal flagellomerus 2 length/width: 2.6-2.8. Antennal flagellomerus 14 length/width: 1.4-1.6. Length of flagellomerus 2/length of flagellomerus 14: 2.0-2.2. Tarsal claws: with single basal spine-like seta. Metafemur length/width: 2.6-2.7. 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 punctures near margins, central part mostly smooth. Number of pits in scutoscutellar sulcus: 7 or 8. Maximum height of mesoscutellum lunules/maximum height of lateral face of mesoscutellum: 0.4-0.5. Propodeum areola: completely defined by carinae, including transverse carina extending to spiracle. Propodeum background sculpture: mostly sculptured. Mediotergite 1 length/width at posterior margin: 2.0-2.2. Mediotergite 1 shape: more or less parallel-sided or 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: 4.4-4.7. Mediotergite 2 sculpture: mostly smooth. 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: 1.7-1.9. Length of fore wing veins 2RS/2M: 1.1-1.3. 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. As in female but with slightly narrower mediotergite 1. Molecular data. Sequences in BOLD: 8, barcode compliant sequences: 8. Biology/ecology. Gregarious (Fig. 223).
