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

Dolichogenidea chichicastenango Fernandez-Triana & Boudreault sp. nov. Fig. 41 A – F Type material. Holotype. Guatemala • Female, CNC; El Quiché, 2 km S of Chichicastenango on Rio Tesoro; 2,000 m; 11.ix.1987; M. Sharkey leg.; Voucher code: CNC 1196553. Diagnostic description. F 15 length 1.2 × its height; T 1 and T 2 heavily sculptured with strong longitudinal striae; T 1 length <1.5 × T 1 width at posterior margin; T 2 broadly rectangular (but posterior margin sinuate), covering most surface of tergum; tegula white-yellow, clearly paler than brown humeral complex; pterostigma with pale spot on anterior 0.25; pro- and mesocoxae dark reddish brown; metafemur almost entirely yellow (small brown spot on posterior 0.1); metatibia dark brown to black on posterior 0.7; all laterotergites and sternites pale brown to dark brown; body length: 2.75 mm; fore wing length: 3.06 mm. Among all species with heavily sculptured T 1 and T 2, T 1 comparatively broad and T 2 rectangular, D. chichicastenango can be distinguished by the shape of F 15 and color of tegula, humeral complex, pterostigma; procoxa, mesocoxa, metafemur and metatibia, laterotergites and sternites. The closest species, D. felipechavarriai from Costa Rica, has paler coloration of legs and metasoma, and comparatively longer F 15. Distribution. Guatemala. Biology. No host data available. DNA barcoding data. No data. Etymology. Named after the type locality.

Abstract

Dolichogenidea chichicastenango Fernandez-Triana & Boudreault sp. nov. Fig. 41 A – F Type material. Holotype.

F 15 length 1.2 × its height; T 1 and T 2 heavily sculptured with strong longitudinal striae; T 1 length <1.5 × T 1 width at posterior margin; T 2 broadly rectangular (but posterior margin sinuate), covering most surface of tergum; tegula white-yellow, clearly paler than brown humeral complex; pterostigma with pale spot on anterior 0.25; pro- and mesocoxae dark reddish brown; metafemur almost entirely yellow (small brown spot on posterior 0.1); metatibia dark brown to black on posterior 0.7; all laterotergites and sternites pale brown to dark brown; body length: 2.75 mm; fore wing length: 3.06 mm.
