Description
Female (Fig. 33a, b, c). Length: 6mm. Head (Fig. 33b): frontal setae extending to base of postpedicel; fronto-orbital plate gold throughout, and sparsely setulose; parafacial silver throughout. Thorax (Fig. 33a, c): gold on dorsal surface, silver laterally (>50% coverage); with four regular thoracic vittae; postpronotum with two setae (inner basal seta absent); 3:3 acrostichal setae; 2:3 dorsocentral setae; 2:3 intra-alar setae; 2:3 supra-alar setae; three katepisternal setae; anatergite bare; scutellar discal setae situated as wide apart as subapical scutellar setae. Wing vein R4+5 with 6-7 setulae dorsally, extending to crossvein R-M. Abdomen (Fig. 33a): ground color black, with uninterrupted transverse marginal pollinose bands and with both dorsal and ventral surfaces concolorous; base of ST1+2 black lateroventrally; T3 with one pair of median marginal setae and one pair of discal setae; T4 with one pair of discal setae.
Male: not known at this time.
Diagnosis
Calolydella tanyadapkeyae
can be distinguished from all other other species of
Calolydella
by the following combination of traits: parafacial all silver, frontal setae extending to base of postpedicel, thoracic pollinosity gold dorsally and over 50% of lateral surfaces, postpronotum with only two setae (inner basal seta absent), anatergite bare, and scutellar discal setae situated as wide apart as subapical scutellar setae.
Etymology
The specific epithet is in honor of Tanya Dapkey James of Levittown, Pennsylvania, in recognition of her efforts curating and preparing ACG parasitoid flies for DNA barcoding.
Distribution
Costa Rica, ACG, Alajuela Province, Camino Rio Francia, 410m.
Ecology
Calolydella tanyadapkeyae
has been reared once from
Uranophora flaviceps
(Hampson, 1901) (
Lepidoptera
:
Erebidae
), in rain forest.
