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

Dolichogenidea robmacewani Fernandez-Triana & Boudreault sp. nov. Fig. 119 A – F Type material. Holotype. Brazil • Female, CNC; Bahia, Encruzilhada; 880 m; xi.1974; M. Alvarenga leg.; Voucher code: CNC 1196549. Paratypes. Brazil • 5 Females, CNC; CNC 5342690, CNC 5342691, CNC 5342692, CNC 5342693, CNC 5342694. Diagnostic description. T 1 more or less parallel-sided and mostly sculptured with longitudinal striae on posterior 0.5–0.6 (but sometimes with central smooth area near posterior margin); T 2 more or less transverse and entirely smooth; ovipositor sheath clearly longer than metatibia length (≥ 1.25 ×, usually more); labial palpi, tegula and humeral complex yellow; first two pairs of legs entirely yellow (except for coxae brown); third pair of legs mostly brown to dark brown (except for yellow trochanter and trochantellus, anterior 0.7 of metatibia yellow and metatibial spurs yellow-white); body length: 2.44–3.06 mm; fore wing length: 2.84–3.38 mm. Among species with sculptured T 1 but smooth and transverse T 2, and all coxae dark colored, D. robmacewani can be distinguished by its mostly yellow legs (except third pair), yellow tegula, humeral complex and palpi, and relatively long ovipositor sheaths. Distribution. Brazil (BA, MG). Biology. No host data available. DNA barcoding data. No data. Etymology. The second author dedicates this species in honor of her friend Rob MacEwan. Rob’s knowledge of nature and kindness are both extraordinary! His friendship is greatly appreciated. Notes. Among the paratypes there is some variation on sculpture of T 1 and color of metafemur and metatibia, but they are all kept as one species until more material becomes available for study.

Abstract

Dolichogenidea robmacewani Fernandez-Triana & Boudreault sp. nov. Fig. 119 A – F Type material. Holotype. Brazil • Female, CNC; Bahia, Encruzilhada; 880 m; xi.1974; M.
