Eyes and ocelli silver. Fore and middle legs dark yellow, except coxae and trochanters pale yellow/ivory; hind legs dark yellow except proximal half of coxae black, femora distally and tibiae brown, and tarsomeres dark yellow. Petiole on T1 with two colorations: proximal 1/4 yellow-brown/reddish and distal 3/4 brown, contours darkened and sublateral areas ivory/pale yellow; T2 with median and adjacent areas brown, and lateral ends ivory/pale yellow; T3 medially brown, proximally dark area coinciding with the width of dark area of median and adjacent areas on T2, but distally T3 narrowing, remaining area ivory/pale yellow; T4 and beyond completely brown; distally each tergum with a narrow ivory/pale yellow transparent band. In lateral view, T1-3 ivory/pale yellow; T4 and beyond brown. S1-5 ivory/yellow; hypopygium brown.

Description.

Head ( Fig. 199 A–D ). Head rounded with pubescence long and dense. Proximal three antennal flagellomeres longer than wide (0.25:0.08, 0.24:0.08, 0.24:0.08), distal antennal flagellomere longer than penultimate (0.14:0.06, 0.11:0.07), antenna longer than body (3.23, 2.48); antennal scrobes-frons shallow. Face flat or nearly so, with dense fine punctations, interspaces smooth and longitudinal median carina present. Frons smooth. Temple wide, punctate and interspaces wavy. Inner margin of eyes diverging slightly at antennal sockets; in lateral view, eye anteriorly convex and posteriorly straight. POL shorter than OOL (0.08, 0.12). Malar suture present. Median area between lateral ocelli slightly depressed. Vertex laterally pointed or nearly so and dorsally wide.

Mesosoma ( Fig. 199A, E, F, I ). Mesosoma dorsoventrally convex. Mesoscutum proximally convex and distally flat, punctation distinct throughout, interspaces smooth. Scutellum triangular, apex sloped and fused with BS, scutellar punctation scattered throughout, in profile scutellum flat and on same plane as mesoscutum, phragma of the scutellum partially exposed; BS mostly overlapping the MPM; ATS demilune with complete undulate/reticulate carinae; dorsal ATS groove with semicircular/parallel carinae. Transscutal articulation with small and heterogeneous foveae, area just behind transscutal articulation nearly at the same level as mesoscutum (flat) and with same kind of sculpture as mesoscutum. Metanotum with BM upward; MPM semicircular and bisected by a median longitudinal carina; AFM with a small lobe and not as well delineated as PFM; PFM thick, smooth and with lateral ends rounded; ATM with undulate carinae throughout. Propodeum without median longitudinal carina, proximal half curved with medium-sized sculpture and distal half rugose; distal edge of propodeum with a flange at each side and without stubs; propodeal spiracle distally framed by a short concave carina; nucha surrounded by very short radiating carinae. Pronotum with a distinct dorsal furrow, dorsally with a well-defined smooth band; central area of pronotum and dorsal furrow smooth, but ventral furrow with short parallel carinae. Propleuron with fine rugae and dorsally without a carina. Metasternum convex. Contour of mesopleuron convex; precoxal groove deep, smooth and shiny; epicnemial ridge convex, teardrop-shaped.

Legs. Ventral margin of fore telotarsus entire without seta, fore telotarsus proximally narrow and distally wide, and longer than fourth tarsomere (0.11, 0.07). Hind coxa with punctation only on ventral surface, dorsal outer depression present. Inner spur of hind tibia longer than outer spur (0.26, 0.20), entire surface of hind tibia with dense strong spines clearly differentiated by color and length. Hind telotarsus as equal in length as fourth tarsomere (0.12, 0.11).

Wings ( Fig. 200I ). Fore wing with r vein slightly curved; 2RS vein straight; r and 2RS veins forming a weak, even curve at their junction and outer side of junction not forming a stub; 2M vein slightly curved/swollen; distally fore wing [where spectral veins are] with microtrichiae more densely concentrated than the rest of the wing; anal cell 1/3 proximally lacking microtrichiae; subbasal cell with a small smooth area, vein 2CUa absent and vein 2CUb spectral; vein 2 cu-a absent; vein 2-1A proximally tubular and distally spectral, although sometimes difficult to see; tubular vein 1 cu-a curved and complete, but junction with 1-1A vein spectral. Hind wing with vannal lobe very narrow, subdistally and subproximally straightened, and setae evenly scattered in the margin.

Metasoma ( Fig. 199A, G, H, J ). Metasoma laterally compressed. Petiole on T1 finely sculptured only laterally, evenly narrowing distally (length 0.34, maximum width 0.17, minimum width 0.07) and with scattered pubescence concentrated in the first distal third. Lateral grooves delimiting the median area on T2 clearly defined and reaching the distal edge of T2 (length median area 0.14, length T2 0.14), edges of median area polished and lateral grooves deep, median area broader than long (length 0.14, maximum width 0.20, minimum width 0.05); T2 with scattered pubescence only distally. T3 longer than T2 (0.19, 0.14) and with scattered pubescence throughout. Pubescence on hypopygium dense.

Cocoons. Unknown.

Comments.

In some females, the propleuron distally yellow; both the dorsal and the ventral furrows of pronotum, the area of the mesoscutum just above the dorsal furrow of pronotum and the epicnemial ridge are lighter than mesosoma coloration (light brown, reddish or yellow-brown); proximal half of the petiole yellow-brown/reddish and distal half brown; the shape of dark area on T3 can be slightly different. In other specimens, the coloration of hind legs is yellow-brown instead of dark yellow. In other females, the penultimate sternum with two colorations: proximal half yellow and distal half brown.

Male

( Fig. 200 A–J ). All the antennal flagellomeres have the same color; in some preserved males, the eyes are black and the ocelli reddish; in other preserved males, the coloration on metosoma varies thus: the petiole and the T3 are brown; the S3-4 are yellow, but with some brown tints, the S5 and beyond are completely brown; in other males, the hind legs are light yellow-brown.

Etymology.

Scott R. Shaw is a Professor and Insect Museum Curator at the University of Wyoming, Laramie, WY, USA. His research is focused in systematics of Braconidae , mainly Meteorinae, Rogadinae, and Euphorinae.

Distribution.

The adult parasitoids were collected in Costa Rica, ACG, Sector Rincón Rain Forest (Vado Río Francia) and Sector San Cristóbal ( Estación San Gerardo, Potrero Argentina, and Río Blanco Abajo), during June–November 2007 and January–May 2008 at 400 m, 520 m, 550 m, and 575 m in pasture and rain forest.
