Dolichogenidea ronaldzunigai Fernandez-Triana & Boudreault sp. nov. Figs 124 A – F, 162 B Type material. Holotype. Costa Rica • Female, CNC; Alajuela, Area de Conservación Guanacaste, Sector San Cristobal, Cementerio Viejo; 10.88111, -85.38889; 570 m; 23.vi.2013; Gloria Sihezar leg.; Host: Chlamydastis montywoodi; Voucher code: DHJPAR 0052991; Host voucher code: 13-SRNP-3309. Paratypes. Costa Rica • 2 Females, 2 Males, CNC; DHJPAR 0041632, DHJPAR 0041637, DHJPAR 0053800, DHJPAR 0053861. Diagnostic description. T 1 parallel-sided but broad, its length medially 2.0 × its width at posterior margin; T 1 shiny and almost entirely smooth (at most with few shallow punctures along lateral margins on posterior 0.3); T 2 transverse and comparatively narrow, its width at posterior margin 2.6–3.0 × its length medially; T 2 smooth; ovipositor sheaths 1.1–1.2 × metatibia length; all coxae black; metafemur mostly yellow-brown with brown spot on apical 0.2 dorsally; metatibia mostly yellow-brown with posterior 0.2–0.3 brown; body length: 2.84–3.31 mm; fore wing length: 3.13–3.41 mm. Among all species with T 2 smooth and dark coxae D. ronaldzunigai can be distinguished by its entirely smooth, parallel-sided T 1 and overall polished aspect of the species, as well as legs color. The species could also be confused with the carlosmanuelrodriguezi group based on its overall sculptured and shape of T 1 and T 2; however, its ovipositor sheaths are much shorter than in that species group (1.1–1.2 × versus 1.8–2.0 ×) and T 2 is much less quadrate. Distribution. Costa Rica. Biology. Solitary. Depressariidae: Chlamydastis montywoodi, Chlamydastis tryphon, Chlamydastis vividella, Stenoma Janzen 199, elachJanzen 01 Janzen 693. DNA barcoding data. BIN BOLD: AAT 8860 (6 sequences, 6 barcode compliant). Etymology. Named in honor of Sr. Ronald Zuñiga of Costa Rica, and the Costa Rican National Museum, BioAlfa and the former INBio (Instituto Nacional de Biodiversity) in recognition of his three + decades dedicated to the biodiversity understanding of the Hymenoptera of Costa Rica.
