Dolichogenidea junhyongkimi Fernandez-Triana & Boudreault sp. nov. Fig. 80 A – F Type material. Holotype. Costa Rica • Female, CNC; Alajuela, Area de Conservación Guanacaste, Sector San Cristobal, Rio Blanco Abajo; 10.90037, -85.37254; 500 m; 28.vii.2007; D. H. Janzen & W. Hallwachs leg.; Malaise trap; Voucher code: DHJPAR 0025352. Paratypes. Costa Rica • 2 Females, 2 Males, CNC; DHJPAR 0026801, DHJPAR 0025581, DHJPAR 0026946, DHJPAR 0026805. Diagnostic description. T 1 very strongly narrowing towards posterior margin (T 1 width at anterior margin> 2.0 × width at posterior margin, and T 1 median length> 5.0 × width at posterior margin); T 2 smooth; ovipositor sheath almost as long as metatibia length (0.9 ×); tegula yellow; legs mostly pale colored (including pro- and mesocoxae entirely white-yellow, metacoxa with apical 0.3 yellow, metafemur and metatibia mostly yellow, and metatibial spurs yellow); body length: 2.23–2.38 mm; fore wing length: 2.35–2.65 mm; BIN BOLD: AAD 6850, which is 5.93 % different from the nearest BIN in BOLD as of March 2022. No other described Dolichogenidea species in the Neotropics has T 1 so strongly narrowing towards posterior margin. D. ingredolsonae is relatively similar morphologically, but it has T 1 less strongly narrowing, shorter ovipositor sheath and different color of tegula. Distribution. Costa Rica. Biology. No host data available. DNA barcoding data. BIN BOLD: AAD 6850 (5 sequences, 5 barcode compliant). Etymology. Named in honor of Dr. Junhyong Kim in recognition of his outstanding yet especially stressful 5 - year term as Department Chairman of the Biology Department of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, during these years of COVID and university turmoil.
