In lateral view, T1-2 completely ivory/pale yellow; T3 yellow, but dorsally brown; T4 and beyond completely brown. S1-4 ivory/yellow; penultimate sternum yellow, but medially with a brown area; hypopygium brown.

Description.

Head ( Fig. 203 A–D ) Head rounded with pubescence short and dense. Proximal three antennal flagellomeres longer than wide (0.24:0.09, 0.25:0.09, 0.25:0.09), distal antennal flagellomere longer than penultimate (0.17:0.08, 0.11:0.09), antenna longer than body (3.38, 2.73); antennal scrobes-frons shallow. Face convex, punctate-lacunose, interspaces wavy and longitudinal median carina present. Frons smooth. Temple wide, punctate-lacunose and interspaces wavy. Inner margin of eyes diverging slightly at antennal sockets; in lateral view, eye anteriorly convex and posteriorly straight. POL shorter than OOL (0.09, 0.13). Malar suture present. Median area between lateral ocelli slightly depressed. Vertex laterally pointed or nearly so and dorsally wide.

Mesosoma ( Fig. 203A, E, F, I ). Mesosoma dorsoventrally convex. Distal 1/3 of mesoscutum with lateral margin slightly dented, punctation distinct throughout, interspaces wavy/lacunose. Scutellum triangular, apex sloped and fused with BS, phragma of the scutellum partially exposed, scutellar punctation distinct throughout, in profile scutellum flat and on same plane as mesoscutum; BS only very partially overlapping the MPM; ATS demilune with quite a little, complete and parallel carinae; dorsal ATS groove with semicircular/parallel carinae. Transscutal articulation with small and heterogeneous foveae, area just behind transscutal articulation smooth, shiny and depressed centrally. Metanotum with BM wider than PFM (clearly differentiated); MPM circular without median longitudinal carina; AFM with a small lobe and not as well delineated as PFM; PFM thick, smooth and with lateral ends rounded; ATM proximally with a well-defined row of foveae and distally smooth. Propodeum without median longitudinal carina, proximal half curved with medium-sized sculpture and distal half rugose; distal edge of propodeum with a flange at each side and without stubs; propodeal spiracle distally framed by a short concave carina; nucha surrounded by very short radiating carinae. Pronotum with a distinct dorsal furrow, dorsally with a well-defined smooth band; central area of pronotum smooth, but both dorsal and ventral furrows with short parallel carinae. Propleuron with a mix of rugae and fine punctation, dorsally with a carina. Metasternum convex. Contour of mesopleuron convex; precoxal groove deep with faintly lineate sculpture; epicnemial ridge convex, teardrop-shaped.

Legs. Ventral margin of fore telotarsus entire without seta, fore telotarsus almost same width throughout and longer than fourth tarsomere (0.12, 0.07). Medially hind coxa smooth, dorsally with scattered punctation and ventrally with dense punctation, dorsal outer depression present. Inner spur of hind tibia longer than outer spur (0.29, 0.21), entire surface of hind tibia with dense strong spines clearly differentiated by color and length. Hind telotarsus longer than fourth tarsomere (0.16, 0.14).

Wings ( Fig. 203K ). Fore wing with r vein slightly curved; 2RS vein straight; r and 2RS veins forming a weak, even curve at their junction and outer side of junction not forming a stub; 2M vein slightly curved/swollen; distally fore wing [where spectral veins are] with microtrichiae more densely concentrated than the rest of the wing; anal cell 1/3 proximally lacking microtrichiae; subbasal cell with microtrichiae virtually throughout; veins 2CUa and 2CUb completely spectral; vein 2 cu-a absent; vein 2-1A proximally tubular and distally spectral, although sometimes difficult to see; tubular vein 1 cu-a curved and complete, but junction with 1-1A vein spectral. Hind wing with vannal lobe narrow, subdistally concave and subproximally straightened, and setae evenly scattered in the margin.

Metasoma ( Fig. 203A, G, H, K ). Metasoma laterally compressed. Petiole on T1 finely sculptured only laterally, evenly narrowing distally (length 0.41, maximum width 0.23, minimum width 0.09) and with scattered pubescence concentrated in the first distal third. Lateral grooves delimiting the median area on T2 clearly defined and reaching the distal edge of T2 (length median area 0.14, length T2 0.14), edges of median area polished and lateral grooves deep, median area broader than long (length 0.14, maximum width 0.20, minimum width 0.07); T2 with scattered pubescence only distally. T3 longer than T2 (0.22, 0.14) and with scattered pubescence throughout. Pubescence on hypopygium dense.

Cocoons. Unknown.

Comments.

Additionally, to the described coloration, some females have mesoscutum with three parallel yellow-brown/reddish bands which merging in the 1/4 distal; the apex of the scutellum and the epicnemial furrow are yellow-brown/reddish (e.g., 07-SRNP-67822, 08-SRNP-3943). One antenna broken off on the holotype.

Male.

Similar in coloration to female. As well as females, some males with three distinctive parallel yellow-brown/reddish bands in the mesoscutum. In some specimens, the petiole is completely black. In some cases, the coloration in the mesoscutum and the mesopleuron is lighter than in other specimens. The clypeus and the middle area of low face, just above the clypeus, the PFM and the BS are orange/reddish; most of the mesoscutum is orange/reddish, but distally with a dark middle area.

Etymology.

Sondra L. Ward research has contributed to the understanding of the ichneumonid fauna from Costa Rica.

Distribution.

The adult parasitoids were collected in Costa Rica, ACG, Sector Cacao (Sendero Cima), Sector Rincón Rain Forest (Vado Río Francia), and Sector San Cristóbal (Bosque Trampa Malaise, Estación San Gerardo, Potrero Argentina, and Río Blanco Abajo), during May 1999, June-October and December 2007, and January-May 2008 at 400 m, 500 m, 520 m, 575 m, 815 m, and 1,460 m in rain and cloud forests.
