Morphological data.

There is only one low-quality image on BOLD for the nearest neighbor, but the p-distance makes it doubtful that it is conspecific.

Holotype?: Costa Rica: Guanacaste, Area de Conservación Guanacaste, Sector Mundo Nuevo, Mamones, 365 m, 10.771 -85.429; host caterpillar collection date: 01/viii/2010, parasitoid eclosion: 12/viii/2010; depository CNC, holotype voucher code: DHJPAR0040470.

Holotype host data.

Dysodia sica ( Thyrididae ) feeding on Piper marginatum ( Piperaceae ). This is one of the only two species of Bracon reared by us that is solitary; the ten species treated by Sharkey et al. (2021a) are all gregarious. It was reared from a very small caterpillar; caterpillar voucher code: 10-SRNP-56246.

Etymology.

Bracon guillermoblancoi is named in honor of Guillermo Blanco, the BioAlfa Malaise traps manager for Parque Nacional Isla del Coco, ACMIC ( Área de Conservación Marino Isla del Coco), Costa Rica.
