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

Dolichogenidea robpringlei Fernandez-Triana & Boudreault sp. nov. Figs 120 A – E, 161 A Type material. Holotype. Costa Rica • Female, CNC; Guanacaste, Area de Conservación Guanacaste, Sector Pitilla, Sendero Cuestona; 10.99455, -85.41461; 640 m; 24.v.2012; Petrona Rios leg.; Host: Collinsa ferreiceps DHJ 01; Voucher code: DHJPAR 0049779; Host voucher code: 12-SRNP-30918. Diagnostic description. F 15 cubic, its length 1.1 × its width; sculpture on anteromesoscutum and propodeum shallow; T 1 mostly parallel-sided but slightly broadening near posterior margin; T 1 with strong, longitudinal striae on posterior 0.5; T 2 very transverse, with anterior and posterior margins strongly sinuate; T 2 mostly sculptured, but with smooth areas along margins; tegula and humeral complex brown; longitudinal strip on metasternum yellow-white; all coxae brown; pro- and mesofemora entirely yellow; body length: 2.02 mm; fore wing length: 2.20 mm. Among species with mostly sculptured T 2, D. robpringlei can be distinguished by its T 1 and T 2 shape and sculpture, anteromesoscutum and propodeum sculpture, legs color and overall body appearance less shiny and less smooth than closest (i. e., similar morphologically) species; F 15 length is the main diagnostic character to separate it from D. scottmilleri. Distribution. Costa Rica. Biology. Gregarious. Thyrididae, Collinsa ferreiceps. DNA barcoding data. No data. Etymology. Named in honor of Dr. Rob Pringle of Princeton University, New Jersey, USA, for his three decades of steady and enthusiastic interest in, and support of, all the GDFCF and ACG activities as a member of the Board of Directors for the Guanacaste Dry Forest Conservation Fund in its integration with Area de Conservación Guanacaste, Costa Rica.
