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

Dolichogenidea rociocordobae Fernandez-Triana & Boudreault sp. nov. Figs 121 A – F, 161 B Type material. Holotype. Costa Rica • Female, CNC; Alajuela, Area de Conservación Guanacaste, Sector San Cristobal, Sendero Huerta; 10.9305, -85.3723; 527 m; 14.xii.2012; Elda Araya leg.; Host: Dichomeris Janzen 703; Voucher code: DHJPAR 0051131; Host voucher code: 12-SRNP-5560. Paratypes. Costa Rica • 1 Female, 1 Male, CNC; DHJPAR 0051072, DHJPAR 0051084. Diagnostic description. T 1 and T 2 heavily sculptured with strong longitudinal striae; T 1 length <1.5 × T 1 width at posterior margin; T 2 rectangular, covering most surface of tergum; ovipositor sheath almost as long as metatibia length (0.95 ×); F 15 1.2 × as long as wide; metafemur mostly brown; metatibia dark brown to black on posterior 0.5; body length: 2.50 mm; fore wing length: 2.60 mm. Among all species with heavily sculptured T 1 and T 2, T 1 comparatively broad and T 2 rectangular, D. rociocordobae can be distinguished by the color of metafemur and metatibia, and length of F 15. The only species closely similar morphologically is D. frankjoycei which has slightly shorter ovipositor sheath and slightly longer F 15, as well as different hosts and DNA barcode. Distribution. Costa Rica. Biology. Solitary. Gelechiidae, Dichomeris Janzen 273, Dichomeris Janzen 703. DNA barcoding data. BIN BOLD: ACJ 2777 (7 sequences, 7 barcode compliant). Etymology. Named in honor of Sra. Rocio Cordoba (MS) of San Jose, Costa Rica, in recognition of her own decades of efforts in the World Bank on behalf of Costa Rica’s environment as well those of her husband Dr. Jorge Cortes for the same cause.

Abstract
