F20F79E3B1CD59C3BECE0A49CB703277.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The head is elongate, with an exceptionally long malar space measuring 1.20 – 1.80 × the basal mandibular width. The clypeus is large, subquadrate, and with the clypeal sulcus weakly impressed or absent, which results in the face and clypeus forming a nearly uniform, smooth plane in most species. The occipital carina is ventrally incomplete. The mandible is slender, with the lower tooth 0.50 – 1.00 × the length of the upper tooth. The fore wing features a rhomboid to pentagonal areolet (areolet lightly petiolate in S. valenzuelai sp. nov.), and the pterostigma is broad and triangular, with a maximum length 2.30 – 3.00 × its maximum width. In the hind wing, the basal abscissa of vein M + Cu 1 is strongly arched, and the distal abscissa of vein Cu 1 connects to vein cu-a much closer to vein 1 A than to vein M. The first metasomal tergite exhibits an anterior median depression bordered laterally by raised edges. The glymma is deep, converging at the midline, and often separated only by a translucent partition. In females, the hypopygium is large and arched but not folded medioventrally. The ovipositor is slender, slightly upcurved, and lacks a dorsal subapical notch.	en	Araujo, Rodrigo O., Silva-Santos, Isamara, Moreira-Muñoz, Andrés, Montalva, Cristian, Pádua, Diego G.

105D4541F2D25036863253654B5DDE37.taxon	etymology	Etymology. Scolomus valenzuelai is named in honor of Pablo Valenzuela, a distinguished Chilean biochemist whose pioneering contributions to biotechnology and molecular biology have been profound in both scientific research and public health. Dr Valenzuela’s crucial role in the development of the hepatitis B vaccine, the identification of the hepatitis C virus, and Chile’s genomic research advancement has significantly shaped the country’s biomedical innovation. His work fosters a legacy of scientific excellence and technological progress. By dedicating this species to him, we recognize science’s debt to his invaluable contributions and his enduring influence on future generations’ research. The species epithet, valenzuelai, is to be treated as a noun in genitive case.	en	Araujo, Rodrigo O., Silva-Santos, Isamara, Moreira-Muñoz, Andrés, Montalva, Cristian, Pádua, Diego G.
