(Figs. 1–5)</p> <p>DESCRIPTION</p> <p>Holotype female. Apterous (Fig. 1). Length 3.4 mm. Body testa- ceous-ferruginous, except petiole black; antenna brown, except segments 1 and 2 testaceous and segment 10 whitish. Antenna clavate; antennal segments in following proportions: 8:6:14:9:7:6:6:6:5:10. Head very excavated, glossy, unsculptured; frontal line complete; occipital carina absent; temple absent; POL = 1; OL = 1; OOL = 6. Palpal formula 5/2. Pronotum glossy, unsculptured, crossed by strong transverse impression. Scutum glossy, unsculptured, with 2 lateral pointed apophyses (Figs. 1 and 3). Scutellum inclined. Metanotum inclined, unsculptured, not transversely striate, not hollow behind scutellum (Figs. 2 and 4). Meso- and metapleuron transversely striate. Metathorax + propodeum glossy, with anterior surface unsculptured; posterior surface transversely striate. Meso-metapleural suture obsolete. Protarsal segments in following proportions: 14:3:4:14:22. Enlarged claw (Fig. 5) with 1 large subapical tooth and 1 row of 5 lamellae. Segment 5 of protarsus (Fig. 5) with 2 rows of 4+11 lamellae; distal apex with at least 15 lamellae. Tibial spurs 1/0/1.</p> <p>Male: Unknown.</p> <p>TYPE MATERIAL</p> <p>HOLOTYPE female, ECUADOR: Los Rios Province, Centro Científico Rio Palenque, 180 m, Col. MAB-UNESCO, 10-I-1981, col. S. Sandoval (QCAZ).</p> <p>ETYMOLOGY</p> <p>The species is named afer the collector, Ms. Sonia Sandoval.</p> <p>REMARKS</p> <p>The characters distinguishing the new species are as follows: female apterous (Figs. 1 and 2); palpal formula 5/2; pronotum crossed by strong transverse impression (Figs. 2 and 4); scutum with 2 lateral pointed apophyses (Figs.1 and 3); metanotum not hollow behind scutellum (Figs. 2 and 4); meso-metapleural suture obsolete; posterior surface of propodeum strongly transversely striate (Figs. 1, 3, 4); enlarged claw with lamellae and 1 large subapical tooth (Fig. 5). Because of the above characters, G. sandovalae belongs to Gonatopus group 10 (see Introduction of this paper). Gonatopus sandovalae is close to G. canadensis (Olmi 1984) and G. malkini (Olmi 1991). The main differences among these 3 species regard the sculpture of the scutum: with 2 lateral pointed apophyses in G. sandovalae (Figs. 1 and 3); without lateral apophyses in G. canadensis and G. malkini (Plate 154D in Olmi &amp; Virla 2014).Following the description of G. sandovalae, the key to the females of the Neotropical species of Gonatopus group 10 published by Olmi &amp; Virla (2014) can be modified by replacing couplet 4 as follows:</p> <p>4.— Scutum with 2 lateral pointed apophyses (Figs. 1 and 3)............................................... G. sandovalae sp. nov. 4’.— Scutum without lateral pointed apophyses (Plate 154D in Olmi &amp; Virla 2014)............................................... 4*</p> <p>4*.— Metathorax + propodeum with anterior region granulated and disc with strong track of median longitudinal furrow. G. canadensis (Olmi)</p> <p>4*’.— Metathorax + propodeum with anterior region alutaceous and disc without strong track of median longitudinal furrow..............</p> <p>................................................................................................. G. malkini (Olmi)</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CE87CEFFCCFFC77C083518B9102B13	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.
