Head (Fig. 10b): antenna, first flagellomere all black, except orange along upper margin, adjacent to pedicel; pedicel light brown; arista 1.5X as long as first flagellomere, dark brown and minutely pubescent; palpus yellow and haired; fronto-orbital plate, parafacial and gena silver pollinose; gena bearing few fine hairs along lower margin. Thorax (Fig. 10a, c): entirely gray pollinose; surfaces of dorsum of thorax and scutellum with conspicuous black hairs; sternopleura, hypopleura, pteropleura, and ventral surface of abdomen black pilose; 3 katepisternal bristles; 3 postsutural supra-alar bristles, 2nd postsutural supra-alar bristle 4X as long as 1st; postpronotum bearing fine black hairs and anepisternum with fine, yellow-white hairs; scutellum bearing 1 pair of nearly indistinct discal bristles, slightly thicker than scutellar hairs; anatergite bearing a small patch of black hairs; with 2-3 pairs of strong marginal bristles in addition to basal and subapical bristles; underside of scutellum bearing a tuft of black hairs near basal marginal bristle. Legs: femora reddish-brown ground color; tibiae yellow; coxae of a reddish color; tarsi all black. Wing: dark smoky brown translucent; major wing veins strongly infuscate. Abdomen (Fig. 10a): 1 pair of median marginal bristles on ST1+2, T3, T4 and T5; 2 pairs of median discal bristles on T3, T4 and T5; ground color of abdomen black, with silver pollen on basal half of T3, T4, and T5; dorsal surface of tergites not covered by silver pollen, rather bearing a brown pollinosity visible under the microscope, appearing glabrous to the naked eye; no pollen of any sort on ST1+2; underside of abdomen entirely covered in silver pollen, and black hairs. Terminalia (Fig. 10d, e, f): sternite 5 with two broad rectangular lobes; inner edges of lobes of sternite 5 of lobes covered in dense pollinosity, and haired marginally; sternite 5 with a narrow V-shaped median cleft, 0.43X length of sternite from lobe apex to base; cercus long, thin and sharply pointed; slightly curved when viewed laterally, with a slight upward hook at its tip; distinctly tapered, with apical section 1.6X as long as upper lobe; surstylus long and digitiform in lateral view, haired along its entire length, these hairs becoming thicker basally; tip of surstylus not lobed when viewed dorsally; surstylus inwardly curved, 1.1X as long as cercus. Female (Fig. 11): 7-10 mm. As male, except wings smoky amber translucent, with slight infuscation around each wing vein.  Diagnosis  Uramya lativittatacan be distinguished from all other Neotropical species of Uramyaby the following combination of traits: dark brown to black antennae, 3 postsutural supra-alar bristles, underside of scutellum with a tuft of black hairs near basal bristle, 4-5 pairs of marginal scutellar bristles, and silver pollinosity on underside of abdomen.  Etymology The species epithet is derived from a combination of the latin nouns " latus ", meaning side, and " vitta ", meaning band, in reference to its distinctive abdominal pattern.  Distribution Costa Rica, ACG (Provs. Guanacaste and Alajuela), 280-700 m.  Ecology  Uramya lativittatahas been reared 23 times from large caterpillars belonging to the genera NorapeWalker, Megalopyge Huebner, PodaliaWalker and Trosia Huebner( Megalopygidae) in a sample of 2,816 non-siblings from dry, rain and dry-rain intergrade forest. 2004-10-02 reared from caterpillar of Megalopygealbicollis (Megalopygidae) CNC, Insects D.
