Diagnostic description.
Body color. Head (except for clypeus and mandibles), mesosoma and metasoma (dorsally) dark brown to black; laterotergites, sternites and hypopygium partially yellow, partially dark brown; antennal flagellomeres dark brown; tegula and wing base white-yellow; pterostigma mostly brown (with small pale spot on proximal 0.1); legs mostly white-yellow except for metacoxa (black on proximal 0.7, white-yellow on distal 0.3), metafemur (distal 0.1 dorsally brown), metatibia (distal 0.7 dark brown), and metatarsus (dark brown). Body ratios. Flagellomere 2 length/width: 3.1 x. Flagellomere 14 length/width: 1.3 x. Malar line/mandible width: 1.1 x. Metafemur length/width: 3.6 x. Metatibial inner/outer spur length: 1.2 x.

Male.
As female but metacoxa and metatibia entirely dark brown to black, and T1-T2 narrower and smaller.
Biology. Reared from
Gelechiidae
(an undetermined species with interim name 'gelJanzen01 Janzen319').
Distribution.
Costa Rica, Alajuela and Guanacaste provinces, ACG (Sectors Pitilla, San Cristobal and Rincon Rain Forest), between 527-980m.
Etymology.
Named in honor of
Maria

for her enthusiasm in teaching her La Garita Vieja students to understand and protect the wild nature that occurs in her homeland.
