Bracon alejandromasisi and B. tihisiaboshartae occupy the same BIN and have the same consensus barcode. Bracon tihisiaboshartae can be differentiated from B. alejandromasisi by the color of the metasomal terga: entirely yellow in B. tihisiaboshartae and partly black in B. alejandromasisi Holotype ♀. Guanacaste, Sector Cacao, Sendero Nayo, 10.92446 , -85.46953 , 1090 meters, caterpillar collection date: 22/x/2013, wasp eclosion date: 09/xi/2013, number eclosed 17. Depository: CNC. Host data . Gregarious parasitoid of Consul electra ( Nymphalidae ) feeding on leaves of Piper psilorhachis ( Piperaceae ). Caterpillar and holotype voucher codes . 13-SRNP-36214, DHJPAR0054650. Note. Bracon alejandromasisi and Bracon tihisiaboshartae occupy the same BIN but are clearly two species, see comments for B. tihisiaboshartae . Paratypes. Hosts = Consul electra and Consul cecrops ( Nymphalidae ) feeding on four species of Piper ( Piperaceae ). 14 specimens, same data as holotype and DHJPAR0029029, DHJPAR0029036, DHJPAR0029031, DHJPAR0034263. Depository: CNC. Etymology. Bracon alejandromasisi is named in honor of Alejandro Masis' persistent high-quality biopoliticking on behalf of ACG in San Jose , Costa Rica, and especially in Guanacaste Province. Figure 31.
