Dolichogenidea ninamasisae Fernandez-Triana & Boudreault 2025, sp. nov.

Dolichogenidea ninamasisae Fernandez-Triana & Boudreault sp. nov. Figs 97 A – E, 159 A, B Type material. Holotype. Costa Rica • Female, CNC; Alajuela, Area de Conservación Guanacaste, Sector San Cristobal, Sendero Perdido; 10.8794, -85.3861; 620 m; 4.vii.2012; G. Sihezar leg; Host: Megalota spinula; Voucher code: DHJPAR 0049872; Host voucher code: 12-SRNP-2554. Paratypes. Costa Rica • 3 Females, CNC; DHJPAR 0049874, DHJPAR 0049863, DHJPAR 0054823. Diagnostic description. F 2 length 2.5 × F 14 length; hind legs tarsal claws with single spine; T 1 and T 2 heavily sculptured with strong longitudinal striae; T 1 length <1.5 × T 1 width at posterior margin; T 2 subrectangular, its width at posterior margin <2.7 × its central length; pterostigma mostly brown, with small pale spot on proximal 0.1–0.2; metacoxa almost entirely dark brown (very small yellow spot on posterior 0.1); metatibia mostly yellow with only dark brown to black spot on posterior 0.1; metatibial spurs entirely yellow; metatarsus mostly brown; body length: 3.10–3.30 mm; fore wing length: 3.03–3.16 mm. The color of pterostigma, metacoxa, metatibia, metatibial spurs, the length of F 15 and the tarsal claws with a single spine separate D. ninamasisae from all other species with heavily sculptured T 1 and T 2, T 1 comparatively broad and T 2 rectangular and yellow metatibia. The only species closely similar morphologically is D. tiboshartae which has different color of metatarsus, different T 2 shape, slightly smaller body size and slightly shorter ovipositor sheath. Distribution. Costa Rica. Biology. Solitary. Tortricidae: Megalota crassana, M. spinulosa. DNA barcoding data. BIN BOLD: AAY 4690 (12 sequences, 12 barcode compliant). Etymology. Named in honor of Ms. Nina Masis in recognition of her robust participation in the family, country and conservation life of the Boshart-Masis household for the directorate of Area de Conservación Guanacaste (ACG).
