Digonocryptus atrozyrix Aguiar et Ramos, 2011

Morphological variation. Fore wing length 10.2 mm; vein 3-Cu 1.41 length of 4-Cu; ovipositor 1.07 length of hind tibia. Antenna with 25 flagellomeres. Color: pronotal collar nearly fully taken by wide yellow stripe; yellow spot of mesopleuron and that of the upper metapleuron both about half the size of those observed on the holotype; lower metapleuron fully black. Fore tarsus black, basitarsus apex, laterally, with elongate yellowish spot/stripe; mid t3–4 (missing on the holotype) fully dark brown.

Comments. This is the second specimen reported for the species. It is almost 30% smaller than the holotype, but the overall structure and color pattern, including apical infuscation of the fore wing, are essentially the same, and it runs easily to the corresponding species in the key by Aguiar and Ramos (2011).

Material examined. 1 female from COSTA RICA, Monteverde, Finca Canada, forest, 1500 m, 29.V–1.VI.1988, Malaise trap, BVBrown ( CNCI).

Distribution. Costa Rica NR, Panama ( Fig 52 ).
