Holotype.

Female, CNC. ECUADOR, Napo, Reventador; 11.iii.1983; coll. L. Huggert. DNA Voucher code: CNCHYM 07027.

Paratypes.

4 ♀ (CNC), same locality and collecting date than holotype. Two of the specimens also have DNA Voucher codes: CNCHYM 07026, CNCHYM 07028.

Diagnosis.

This species is morphological similar to Sendaphne dianariaspennae and S. sulmo but differs from those species in the shape and angle of junction of veins r and 2RS, shape of mediotergite 2, ovipositor length, and head coloration (orange-yellow on clypeus and face centrally in Sendaphne anitae , head entirely dark brown to black in Sendaphne dianariaspennae and Sendaphne sulmo ).

Description.

Head color: dark brown to black, except for orange-yellow on clypeus and face centrally. Mesosoma color: orange-yellow. Tegula color: orange-yellow. Metasoma color (dorsally): yellow. Metacoxa color: yellow. Anatomical line tangent to posterior margin of anterior ocellus crossing very slightly (less than 0.01 mm) above anterior margin of posterior ocelli. Ocular-ocellar line: 0.20 mm. Interocellar distance: 0.09 mm. Posterior ocellus diameter: 0.09 mm. Body length: 4.0-4.5 mm. Fore wing length: 3.6-4.1 mm. Ovipositor length: 2.4-2.6 mm. Metacoxa length: 1.3 mm. Metafemur length: 1.2 mm. Metatibia length: 1.3-1.4 mm. T1 length/width at posterior margin: 0.6 mm/0.15 mm. T2 length/width at posterior margin: 0.26-0.30 mm/0.3 mm.

Distribution.

Only known from the type locality in Ecuador.

Molecular data.

No DNA was recovered from the three specimens sampled.

Etymology.

Named after Ana María (Anita) Fernández Galliano, daughter of the senior author, for being such a joyful and wonderful person.
