Description

Male (Fig. 19a, b, c). Length: 7-9mm. Head (Fig. 19b): frontal setae extending to base of postpedicel; fronto-orbital plate gold, with a single row of fine setulae outside of frontal setae; parafacial silver throughout. Thorax (Fig. 19a, c): gold on both dorsal and lateral surfaces; outermost two thoracic vittae, twice as wide as innermost two; postpronotum with three setae; 3:3 acrostichal setae; 3:3 dorsocentral setae; 2:3 intra-alar setae; 2:3 supra-alar setae; three katepisternal setae; anatergite with three or more hair-like setae, often in a small tuft; scutellar discal setae situated as wide apart as subapical scutellar setae. Wing vein R4+5 with 6-7 setulae dorsally, reaching from base almost to crossvein R-M. Abdomen (Fig. 19a): ground color dark brown-orange, with uninterrupted transverse marginal pollinose bands; abdominal pollinosity gold dorsally, silver ventrally, with an orange spot lateroventrally at base of ST1+2; T3 with one pair of median marginal setae and two pairs of discal setae; T4 with a row of marginal setae and one pair of discal setae. Terminalia (Fig. 20): sternite 5 (Fig. 20c) with two small lobes and a wide U-shaped median cleft, 0.47X the length of the sternite from lobe to apex; inner margin covered by dense pollinosity, appearing darker than surrounding cuticle; entire lobe of sternite with short setae, of varying lengths. Cerci (Fig. 20b), in dorsal view, separated by a narrow gap not widened at apex; each cercus very slightly tapered from its already narrow base; cercus long, slender and with an upward bend when viewed laterally; setose along its entire length. Surstylus (Fig. 20a) slender and digitiform with a strong divot at tip, giving it an overall bent look; appearing 0.2X shorter than cercus when viewed laterally; with short setae along entire length; tip of surstylus slightly curved inwards when viewed dorsally.

Female (Fig. 19d, e, f). Length: 5-6mm. Fronto-orbital plate 2.2X wider than in male; thoracic vittae 0.5X as wide as in male.

Diagnosis

Calolydella fredriksjobergi can be distinguished from all other species of Calolydella by the following combination of characters: parafacial mostly gold, anatergite with three or more hair-like setae arranged in a small tuft, two pairs of discal setae on T3 and one pair of discal setae on T4.

Etymology

The specific epithet is in honor of Fredrik Sjoberg of Runmaro Island, Sweden, in recognition of his wonderful book "The Fly Trap" ( Sjöberg 2014, translation by Thomas Teal); a book that explains much about Malaise traps, which have captured so many ACG Tachinidae .

Distribution

Costa Rica, ACG, Alajuela and Guanacaste provinces, 105-1060m.

Ecology

Calolydella fredriksjobergi has been reared six times from six different species belonging to various families of Lepidoptera ( Nymphalidae ; Erebidae ; and Crambidae ), in rain forest, cloud forest, and dry forest ecosystems.
