Other material.
Honduras • 1 Female, 4 undetermined sex, CCDB; BIOUG 18845 - E 06, BIOUG 25834 - A 10, BIOUG 26881 - B 05, BIOUG 26888 - A 01, BIOUG 28324 - G 10.
Diagnostic description.
T 1 distinctively narrowing from posterior 0.3 towards posterior margin; T 2 transverse, its width at posterior margin> 3.5 × its central length; T 1 posterior 0.6 and T 2 (mostly) sculptured; ovipositor sheath approx. same length than metatibia length; reddish yellow spots along posterior margins of propleuron, dorsal margin of pronotum, postero-lateral margins of anteromesoscutum, and mesosternum, all of which are clearly distinctive from rest of mostly black mesosoma; pterostigma yellow-white with thin brown margins; pro- and mesocoxae mostly yellow, metacoxa dark brown; body length and fore wing length: 2.20–2.50 mm. This species can be recognized by its distinctively narrowing T 1, rather strong sculpture of T 1 and T 2, the yellow-white pterostigma and the reddish yellow spots on several areas of mesosoma.
Distribution.
Costa Rica, Honduras.
Biology.
No host data available.
DNA barcoding data.
BIN BOLD: BOLD: AAM 5842 (286 sequences, 265 barcode compliant).
Etymology.
Named after Teresita María (Tere Mari) Galliano Garay, for her long-standing work with the ACG fauna, labelling, mounting and inspecting thousands of Microgastrinae specimens
Notes.
The record from Honduras is based on five sequences in BOLD which match by 99.56 % (approximately 3 bp of difference) with the almost 300 ACG sequences. Because we could not examine the Honduran specimens (other than examining a single photo available in BOLD, which also matches well with the ACG specimen) they are not included as paratypes but as other material.
