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

Dolichogenidea katiemccluskeyae Fernandez-Triana & Boudreault sp. nov. Fig. 82 A – F Type material. Holotype. Costa Rica • Female, CNC; Guanacaste, Area de Conservación Guanacaste, Sector Cacao, Sendero Arenales; 10.92471, -85.46738; 1,080 m; 18.xii.2008; D. H. Janzen & W. Hallwachs leg.; Malaise trap; Voucher code: DHJPAR 0031303. Other material. Costa Rica • 2 Females, CCDB; BIOUG 70860 - G 04, BIOUG 91473 - F 09. Honduras • 1 Female, CCDB; BIOUG 08167 - E 03. Diagnostic description. T 1 parallel-sided or mostly parallel-sided, its length medially ≤ 3.0 × its width at posterior margin; T 2 smooth; T 2 comparatively less transverse, its length medially 3.0 × its width at posterior margin; ovipositor sheath 1.0 × as long as metatibia; legs mostly pale (yellow), except for metacoxa with anterior 0.5 brown; body length: 2.00 mm; fore wing length: 2.20 mm. Among all species with smooth T 2 and pale pro- and mesocoxae, D. katiemccluskeyae can be distinguished by its T 1 and T 2 shape, and comparatively small body size (among the smallest described species Dolichogenidea in the Neotropics). Distribution. Costa Rica, Honduras. Biology. No host data available. DNA barcoding data. BIN BOLD: ACE 8228 (4 sequences, 4 barcode compliant). Etymology. Named in honor of Ms. Katie McCluskey, a double Master student at the University of Pennsylvania and Office Technician for the Janzen-Hallwachs insect processing laboratory, and specifically for DNA barcoding de-legging many of the same specimens described in this taxonomic treatment of Dolichogenidea. Notes. The specimen from Honduras is assigned to this species based on its sequence matching with the ACG sequences (the holotype and two other ACG specimens which we could not examine and therefore are not considered as paratypes).
