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

Dolichogenidea jorgecarvajali Fernandez-Triana & Boudreault sp. nov. Fig. 74 A – F Type material. Holotype. Costa Rica • Female, CNC; Guanacaste, Area de Conservación Guanacaste, Sector Cacao, Cerro Pedregal; 10.92767, -85.47449; 1,080 m; 18.xii.2008; D. H. Janzen & W. Hallwachs leg.; Malaise trap; Voucher code: DHJPAR 0031378. Paratypes. Costa Rica • 2 Males, CNC; DHJPAR 0012730, DHJPAR 0012559. 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 ≤ 1.4 × as metatibia length; tegula and humeral complex yellow; pterostigma usually without pale spot at base or with small pale spot occupying <0.1 pterostigma length; most laterotergites, some sternites and sometimes hypopygium yellow to yellow-brown; body length: 2.50 mm; fore wing length: 2.75 mm. 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. 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. jorgecarvajali can be distinguished from D. anniapicadoae because of its much shorter ovipositor, and from D. rexhamiltoni because of different coloration of tegula, humeral complex, laterotergites, sternites and hypopygium. Distribution. Costa Rica. Biology. No host data available. DNA barcoding data. BIN BOLD: AAM 5847 (65 sequences, 65 barcode compliant). Etymology. Named in honor of Sr. Jorge Carvajal of Santo Domingo de Heredia, San Jose, Costa Rica in recognition of his two decades of being highly reliable support staff for the former INBio and now, BioAlfa headquartered in the INBio facilities in Santo Domingo de Heredia.
