Abstract: Dolichogenidea jasonkelleyi Fernandez-Triana & Boudreault sp. nov. Fig. 70 A – F Type material. Holotype. Costa Rica • Female, CNC; Guanacaste, Area de Conservación Guanacaste, Sector Cacao, Sendero Circular; 10.92714, -85.46683; 1,185 m; 18.xii.2008; D. H. Janzen & W. Hallwachs leg.; Malaise trap; Voucher code: DHJPAR 0031200. Paratype. Costa Rica • 1 Male, CNC; DHJPAR 0031217. Diagnostic description. Scutellar disc mostly with shallow punctures; T 1 parallel-sided but relatively thinner, its median length 2.2 × its width at posterior margin; T 1 mostly sculptured and with central hump; T 2 mostly sculptured but not strongly and with smooth central area; ovipositor sheath approx. same length than metatibia length; tegula and humeral complex yellow; very small reddish brown spots along posterior margins of propleuron, dorsal margin of pronotum and postero-lateral margins of anteromesocutum, all of which are almost indistinguishable from mostly black mesosoma; pro- and mesocoxae mostly brown, metacoxa dark brown to black; mesofemur, metatibia (except for small pale spot on anterior 0.1) and metatarsus dark brown; body length: 2.60 mm; fore wing length: 2.50 mm. The shape and sculpture pattern of T 1 and T 2, ovipositor sheath length and leg coloration differentiate this species. Distribution. Costa Rica. Biology. No host data available. DNA barcoding data. BIN BOLD: AAI 9747 (21 sequences, 19 barcode compliant). Etymology. Named in honor and recognition of Mr. Jason Kelly of Boston as CEO of Gingko Bioworks, a synthetic biology foundry with strong potential for non-damaging development of complex tropical biodiversity genomics as a potential product from wild tropical ecosystems, and therefore increasing their intact desirability by tropical societies.
