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

Dolichogenidea rudyamadori Fernandez-Triana & Boudreault sp. nov. Fig. 127 A – E Type material. Holotype. Costa Rica • Female, CNC; Guanacaste, Area de Conservación Guanacaste, Sector Cacao, Sendero Cima; 10.93328, -85.45729; 1,460 m; 05.x.1998; D. H. Janzen & W. Hallwachs leg.; Malaise trap; Voucher code: DHJPAR 0012545. Diagnostic description. T 1 strongly sculptured on posterior 0.5; T 2 almost entirely sculptured; T 2 very transverse, its width at posterior margin 4.5 × its central length; ovipositor tip weakly sinuate; pterostigma with pale spot very small, 0.1 pterostigma length; all coxae, metafemora, and most of metatibia (except for anterior 0.2 which is yellow) dark brown; body length: 2.20 mm; fore wing length: 2.53 mm. This species could be difficult to key out, especially on couplet 10 where the interpretation of T 2 sculpture could lead to different alternatives. While D. rudyamadori has T 2 almost entirely sculptured (in that sense it would appear to run through the first half of couplet 10), its shape is nevertheless very different from all other species with entirely and strongly sculptured T 2, as D. rudyamadori has T 2 very transverse (width at posterior margin 4.5 × its central length). In addition to that, the weakly sinuate tip of ovipositor is also very distinctive (and never present in any other species with strongly sculptured T 2); thus, these two characters clearly separate the species. Distribution. Costa Rica. Biology. No host data available. DNA barcoding data. BIN BOLD: AAX 8664 (1 sequence, barcode compliant). Etymology. Named in honor of Sr. Rudy Amador in recognition of his enthusiastic facilitation of the Dole Pineapple Company plantation, in the central northern lowlands of what used to be Costa Rican Caribbean coastal rain forest, for being willing to support Malaise trapping for all insects for the Costa Rican BioAlfa DNA barcode library that live in the plantation and adjacent secondary successional rain forest in 2022, and to understand the biodiversity dynamics of the crop itself.
