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

Dolichogenidea lacochaparamo Fernandez-Triana & Boudreault sp. nov. Fig. 85 A – G Type material. Holotype. Colombia • Female, CNC; Putumayo, 1°10'N, 77°15'W; 2,900 m; 2.xii.1972; J. Helava leg.; Voucher code: CNC 1180003. Diagnostic description. T 1 broadening towards posterior margin, 1.1 × as long as width at posterior margin; T 1 with strong, longitudinal striae on posterior 0.5; T 2 mostly sculptured, with anterior and posterior margin weakly sinuate; ovipositor sheath approx. as long as metatibia; comparatively very dark colored species, with palpi yellow, tegula pale yellow-brown, humeral complex half yellow and half brown; most veins in fore wing yellow-white; pterostigma strongly yellow-white with very thin brown margins, most legs dark brown; body length: 2.80 mm; fore wing length: 3.10 mm. Among species with T 1 and T 2 sculptured (but with T 2 transverse and without strong longitudinal striae), this species is characterized by its very dark coloration, pterostigma color and body size. The species D. virgendelparamo is morphologically similar but has darker colored palpi, tegula humeral complex and pterostigma, larger body size and less sculptured T 2. Distribution. Colombia. Biology. No host data available. DNA barcoding data. No data. Etymology. Named after the type locality, which is within the La Cocha-Patascoy azonal paramo, an important area for the conservation of Andes species. Notes. The holotype label states Putumayo as the Department of the type locality. However, the coordinates provided in that same label would place the locality on the western side of the La Cocha Lagoon, which belongs to the Nariño Department. This discrepancy should be considered as a minor one because the locality is still very close (~ 10 kms apart) from the border between these two departments, and in fact the other (eastern) side of the La Cocha Lagoon belongs to the Putumayo. It could be a small inaccuracy of the GPS used to establish the original coordinates of the locality; an alternative explanation is that, between 1953 and 1957 Putumayo was fused with Nariño and was not elevated again as a Department until 1991 (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Putumayo _ (Colombia)). Regardless of that, the type locality clearly belongs to the area of the La Cocha-Patascoy azonal paramo, which straddles between the borders of those two departments (https://corponarino.gov.co/wp-content/uploads/ 2021/09/17. -D.A-PARAMO-LA-COCHA-PATASCOY.pdf).
