Dolichogenidea anniapicadoae Fernandez-Triana & Boudreault sp. nov. Figs 23 A – F, 155 A Type material. Holotype. Costa Rica • Female, CNC; Guanacaste, Area de Conservación Guanacaste, Sector Cacao, Sendero Cima; 10.93328, -85.45729; 1,460 m; 22.v.2000; D. H. Janzen & W. Hallwachs leg.; Malaise trap; Voucher code: DHJPAR 0012546. Paratypes. Costa Rica • 4 Females, CNC; DHJPAR 0012552, DHJPAR 0031440, DHJPAR 0034104, DHJPAR 0034159. Diagnostic description. Posterior 0.5–0.6 of T 1 and T 2 mostly with strong sculpture, usually longitudinal striae covering entire surface (but T 2 with small polished area centrally); T 1 parallel-sided to slightly broadening posteriorly; T 2 comparatively very transverse but with anterior and posterior margins strongly arcuate, so that T 2 length is longer medially than laterally and thus T 2 width at posterior margin is usually <3.0 × its length medially; ovipositor ~ 2.0 × as metatibia length; pterostigma with relatively large pale (yellow-white) spot at base that occupies 0.3–0.4 pterostigma length. This species has strong sculpture (usually longitudinal striae) covering posterior 0.5–0.6 of T 1 and most of T 2. However, unlike the majority of species with similarly strong sculpture, T 2 has a central area which is smooth and also T 2 is very transverse and with anterior and posterior margins strongly arcuate; body length: 2.96–3.16 mm; fore wing length: 3.56–3.76 mm. Because of that unique shape and sculpture pattern of T 2, as well as its metafemur color, it can be separate from all the species with entirely and strongly sculptured T 2 which is not transverse, as well as all the species with smooth T 2 and / or broad T 2. Among similar species, D. anniapicadoae can be distinguished from D. jorgecarvajali and D. rexhamiltoni because of its comparatively much longer ovipositor and pterostigma color. Distribution. Costa Rica. Biology. Solitary. Crambidae: Ategumia lotanalis. DNA barcoding data. BIN BOLD: ABY 7999 (9 sequences, 9 barcode compliant). Etymology. Named in honor of parataxonomist Sra. Annia Picado of Costa Rica, and of BioAlfa and the former INBio (Instituto Nacional de Biodiversity) in recognition of her two + decades dedicated to specimen preparation for the biodiversity understanding of the Diptera and Lepidoptera of Costa Rica.
