Figure 361 Type species. Michener charlesi Sharkey, sp. nov. Diagnosis. Similar to Proterops but differing in the following aspects: 1. Michener with tergum 1 with a pair of prominent, precurrent, longitudinal carinae. Proterops with tergum 1 lacking carinae. 2. Michener with tergum 1 slightly narrowed at midlength and almost 3 x longer than wide at narrowest point. Proterops with tergum 1 not narrowed at midlength, rather narrowest at base or apex; tergum 1 shorter, usually ca. as long as wide but always less than 2 x longer than wide. 3. Michener with tergum 2 short, half the length of tergum 3, measured along midline. Proterops with tergum 2 ca. the same length as tergum 3, measured along midline. 4. Michener with laterotergites of tergum 1 densely setose. Proterops with laterotergites sparsely setose. Description. Head . Occipital carina absent; antenna with 34 flagellomeres; first flagellomere without patch of basiconic sensillae; maxillary palpus with four segments; labial palpus with three segments; mandible not twisted for scissor-like function; base of mandible not depressed and without microsculptured area set off by acute transverse ridge. Wings . Vein 1M of forewing evenly curved; vein 1RS of forewing present; venation complete; R of hind wing not sharply curved posteriad near apex; three hamuli in one cluster. Mesosoma . Propleuron without longitudinal carina; pronotum with weak dorsolateral pit (subpronope); epicnemial carina absent; precoxal depression absent; notaulus smooth, weakly indicated as a smooth line, posterior scutellar depression absent; propodeum smooth; tarsal claws simple, without basal tooth or lobe. Metasoma . Tergum 1 with a pair of prominent, precurrent, longitudinal carinae; tergum 1 narrowest at midlength and 2.8 x longer than wide at narrowest point; tergum 2 short less than half the length of tergum 3, measured along the midline. Female hypopygium without dense patch of setae apically Distribution. Known only from the type locality of the type species in Costa Rica. Etymology. Named with profound admiration for the lifetime achievements of Professor Charles Michener (RIP) of the University of Kansas, Lawrence, and the many professional and personal forms of support offered to Janzen's entire professional academic career, as well as to many others.
