Orasema arimbome Dominguez, Burks & Heraty n. sp.

urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:A3AA1AB0-9854-4E68-BCEE-16A374F318C0 (Figs 11–18)

Diagnosis. F2 longer than F3; funiculars dark brown. Mesoscutal midlobe and mesoscutellar disc areolate; mesoscutal midlobe with a forked or paired reddish area anteriorly. Axilla with distinct longitudinal and oblique carinae anteriorly (dorsally). Axillula areolate but with some longitudinal carinae. Stigmal vein narrow, at nearly a right angle with wing margin. Propodeum medially without reticulate sculpture.

This species is similar to O. stramineipes and O. yaax in having a usually large body size, but more strongly resembles O. pirca and others with a completely areolate axillula. It is especially similar to O. pirca, from which it differs in having some longitudinal axillular carinae amidst its areolate sculpture (Fig. 15) instead of having a regularly areolate axillula, and in having a differently shaped stigmal vein (Fig. 16 versus Fig. 160). These differences are slight, but are upheld by distinctive molecular differences.

Description. Female. Length 4.0– 5.1 mm.

Color: Head and mesosoma green with reddish to yellowish luster on the mesoscutum medially, axilla laterally, and at frenal groove. Pedicel pale brown; anellus pale brown; flagellum brown. Coxae brown to greenish; fore femur mostly brown, tips pale; mid and hind femora yellow. Fore wing slightly infuscate (Fig. 11); venation dark brown. Petiole green; gaster brown to green.

Head: Head width:head height 1.1; face reticulate; longitudinal groove between eye and torulus present; eyes bare, inter-ocular distance:eye height 1.5–1.6; malar space:eye height 0.6–0.8; supraclypeal area longer than broad, smooth; clypeus smooth. Flagellum length:head height 11.6; F2 3.0–3.3× as long as broad, 1.3× as long as F3; following funiculars subequal in width, progressively shorter.

Mesosoma: Mesosoma length:height 1.4–1.5. Mesoscutal midlobe coarsely areolate, with minute setae; lateral lobe areolate to nearly smooth. Axilla areolate with some longitudinal and oblique carinae anteriorly (dorsally); mesoscutellar disc areolate, with broader sculpture posteriorly; frenal line irregularly foveate; frenum areolatereticulate; axillular groove anteriorly absent, broad and foveate posteriorly; axillula areolate-reticulate with longitudinal carinae. Propodeum areolate, with irregular or no median carina; propodeal disc areolate; callus areolate-reticulate, with 3–5 setae. Mesepisternum areolate-reticulate laterally, smooth ventrally, broadly rounded anterior to mid coxa. Upper mesepimeron smooth; lower mesepimeron areolate-reticulate; transepimeral sulcus distinct. Metepisternum laterally nearly smooth dorsally, areolate-reticulate ventrally. Hind coxa 2.1–2.3× as long as broad; hind femur 6.4–7.8× as long as broad. Fore wing 2.6–2.7× as long as broad, 2.9–3.0× as long as mesothorax; stigma with 5 sensilla, 2 basal and 3 apical. Hind wing costal cell with a broad bare area.

Metasoma: Petiole 2.7–2.8× as long as broad, 1.0–1.2× as long as hind coxa, areolate but sometimes nearly smooth anteriorly, anterior carina moderate. Antecostal sulcus crossed by carinae; acrosternite posteriorly angulate.

Male. Length 3.5–3.7 mm. Head width:head height 1.2; scape pale brown; flagellum length:head height 2.0– 2.1, F2 2.2–2.6× as long as broad. Fore femur mostly brown, tips pale; fore tibia yellow; mid femur mostly dark brown basally, becoming yellow apically; mid tibia yellow; hind femur mostly brown, tips pale. hind tibia yellow. Petiole 7.0–7.6× as long as broad, petiole length:hind coxa length 2.2–2.3.

Distribution. Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama.
