Coloration

( Fig. 168 A–M ). General body coloration satin black except yellow scape and pedicel, both with lateral brown band; all antennal flagellomeres dark brown on both sides; gena, clypeus, labrum, mandible, distal 1/3 of low face, some small areas of metasternum, a small ventral band of mesopleuron, dorsal furrow of pronotum, epicnemial ridge, distal corners of mesoscutum, lateral ends of metapleuron, and narrow band taking the place of notauli with yellow/reddish tints; maxillary and labial palps, tegulae, propleuron, and ventral furrow of pronotum yellow. Eyes and ocelli silver. Fore and middle legs yellow (intensity of yellow coloration increasing from proximal to distal), and claws brown; hind legs pale yellow except coxae with a tiny dorso-proximal brown area, femora distally with a tiny brown dot, tibiae and tarsomeres dark brown. Petiole on T1 black and sublateral areas ivory/pale yellow; T2 with median area black, adjacent area yellow-brown and lateral ends ivory/pale yellow; T3 broadly black, shape of area coinciding with the width of median and adjacent areas on T2, 1/3 proximal of lateral ends ivory/pale yellow, and distally T3 with a wide ivory/pale yellow band; T4 and beyond completely brown; distally each tergum with a narrow yellow translucent band. In lateral view, T1-2 completely ivory/pale yellow; T3 proximal half ivory/pale yellow, distal half brown; T4 and beyond brown. S1-3 yellow; S4 and beyond brown.

Description.

Head ( Fig. 168 A–C ). Head rhomboid with pubescence long and dense. Proximal three antennal flagellomeres longer than wide (0.27:0.10, 0.30:0.10, 0.29:0.10), distal antennal flagellomere subequal in length with penultimate (0.16:0.10, 0.15:0.10), antenna longer than body (4.04, 3.23); antennal scrobes-frons shallow. Face flat or nearly so, with dense fine punctations, interspaces smooth 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 (0.10, 0.12). Malar suture present. Median area between lateral ocelli slightly depressed. Vertex laterally pointed or nearly so and dorsally wide.

Mesosoma ( Fig. 168A, F, G, I ). Mesosoma dorsoventrally convex. Mesoscutum proximally convex and distally flat, punctation distinct proximally with polished area distally, interspaces wavy/lacunose. Scutellum triangular, apex sloped and fused with BS, scutellar punctation distinct throughout, in profile scutellum slightly convex, but on same plane as mesoscutum, phragma of the scutellum partially exposed; 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 homogeneous foveae, area just behind transscutal articulation depressed centrally and with same kind of sculpture as mesoscutum. 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 groove with some sculpturing and distally smooth. Propodeum with transverse rugae, 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 present. Metasternum flat or nearly so. Contour of mesopleuron straight/angulate or nearly so; precoxal groove deep with transverse lineate sculpture; epicnemial ridge elongated more fusiform (tapering at both ends).

Legs. Ventral margin of fore telotarsus entire without seta, fore telotarsus almost same width throughout and longer than fourth tarsomere (0.13, 0.08). Hind coxa with punctation only on ventral surface, dorsal outer depression present. Inner spur of hind tibia longer than outer spur (0.40, 0.25), entire surface of hind tibia with dense strong spines clearly differentiated by color and length. Hind telotarsus as equal in length as fourth tarsomere (0.13, 0.14).

Wings ( Fig. 168L, M ). Fore wing with r vein 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; vein 2CUa absent and vein 2CUb 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, incomplete/broken and not reaching the edge of 1-1A vein. Hind wing with vannal lobe very narrow, subdistally and subproximally straightened, and setae evenly scattered in the margin.

Metasoma ( Fig. 168A, D, E, H, J, K ). Metasoma laterally compressed. Petiole finely sculptured on 3/4 proximal, virtually parallel-sided over most of length, but narrowing over distal 1/3 (length 0.45, maximum width 0.23, minimum width 0.12), 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 0.17, length T2 0.17), edges of median area polished and lateral grooves deep, median area broader than long (length 0.17, maximum width 0.27, minimum width 0.12); T2 with scattered pubescence only distally. T3 longer than T2 (0.28, 0.17) and with scattered pubescence throughout. Pubescence on hypopygium dense.

Cocoons. Unknown.

Comments.

The extent of the yellow spot in the hind coxae varies in size, the hind coxae are long ( Fig. 168A ), the distal half of propodeum is flat, and the spiracles propodeal are framed by a concave distal carina.

Male

( Fig. 169 A–H ). The mesosoma is stouter than females.

Etymology.

Michael (Mike) Joseph Sharkey is a Canadian braconologist who was a research scientist at the Canadian National Collection in Ottawa and later a professor at the University of Kentucky. Currently, he is the CEO and curator of the Hymenoptera Institute in Redlands CA, USA.

Distribution.

Adult parasitoids were collected in Costa Rica, ACG, Sector El Hacha (Sendero Bejuquilla), Sector Rincón Rain Forest (Vado Río Francia), and Sector San Cristóbal (Bosque Trampa Malaise, Estación San Gerardo, Potrero Argentina and Río Blanco Abajo), during December 1998, January and May-July 1999, June-December 2007, and January-May and September 2008 at 280 m, 400 m, 500 m, 520 m, 575 m, and 815 m in dry-rain intergrade and rain forests.
