Dolichogenidea yungas Fernandez-Triana & Boudreault 2025, sp. nov.
Dolichogenidea yungas Fernandez-Triana & Boudreault sp. nov. Fig. 149 A – G Type material. Holotype. Bolivia • Female, CNC; La Paz, Yungas, 50 km North of La Paz; 2,200 m; 27.i.1973; J. Helava leg.; Voucher code: CNC 1196945. Diagnostic description. F 15 cubic (around same length than width); T 1 more or less parallel-sided but on posterior 0.3 narrowing towards posterior margin so that T 1 length is 3.0 × its width at posterior margin; T 1 strongly sculptured on posterior 0.7; T 2 shape trapezoidal but rather narrow, barely wider than T 1; T 2 with strong longitudinal striae; tegula and humeral complex brown; wings slightly infumated; pterostigma mostly yellow-white but with thin brown margins; all legs entirely brown to dark brown (except for very small, paler spots on posterior 0.1 of pro- and mesofemora and anterior 0.1–0.2 of tibiae); body length: 3.25 mm; fore wing length: 2.93 mm. Among species with T 2 strongly sculptured but transverse, Dolichogenidea yungas is similar to D. alexandrei, but it can be distinguished from it because of its much narrower T 1 and T 2, shorter ovipositor and ovipositor sheath, darker colored legs, infuscate wings and shorter vein R 1 in fore wing. Distribution. Bolivia. Biology. No host data available. DNA barcoding data. No data. Etymology. Named after the area where the species has been collected; the Yungas forests, along the eastern slope of the Andes Mountains, are extremely diverse and represent a transitional zone between the Andean highlands and the eastern forests.
