Dolichogenidea timrichi Fernandez-Triana & Boudreault sp. nov. Fig. 140 A – F Type material. Holotype. Costa Rica • Female, CNC; Alajuela, Area de Conservación Guanacaste, Sector Rincon Rain Forest, Vado Rio Francia; 10.90093, -85.28915; 400 m; 29.vi.2007; D. H. Janzen & W. Hallwachs leg.; Malaise trap; Voucher code: DHJPAR 0025530. Diagnostic description. Anteromesoscutum mostly covered with relatively coarse punctures; propodeum areola complete; propodeum mostly sculptured, with lateral striation on most areas between carinae; T 1 mostly parallel-sided but slightly narrowing near posterior margin; T 1 mostly sculptured on posterior 0.5; T 2 smooth; tegula and humeral complex brown; pedicel, most of mesofemur and entire mesosternum dark brown to black; all coxae, metafemur and most of metatibia (except for anterior 0.2 which is white) brown to dark brown; body length: 2.40 mm; fore wing length: 2.60 mm. Among species with smooth T 2 D. timrichi can be distinguished by T 1 sculpture, propodeum sculpture and carination pattern, body size, and mostly dark coloration. Distribution. Costa Rica. Biology. No host data available. DNA barcoding data. BIN BOLD: AAJ 1390 (2 sequences, 2 barcode compliant). Etymology. Named in honor of Mr. Tim Rich of California in recognition of his decade-plus and continuing steady financial administration of the GDFCF endowments for GDFCF programs in and around Area de Conservación Guanacaste. Notes. The BIN includes a sequence from Mexico; however, it is 1.95 % different from the ACG sequence, therefore we consider best not to include the Mexican specimen as part of this species until it can be examined.
