Diagnosis.
It belongs to the gouleti species-group, and can be separated from other species within that group based on anteromesoscutum and axillar complex with some orange spots, head mostly brown-black posteriorly but orange on most of frons and face, and scape yellow, contrasting with brown flagellomeres.
Description.
Female. Body length 2.2-2.3 mm. Fore wing length 2.4-2.5 mm. Head color: mostly dark brown to black; except for orange on most of frons and face, and yellow clypeus, labrum, mandibles, and spot on lower corner of gena near oral foramen. Flagellomere color: all flagellomere brown to black. Mesosoma color: mostly dark brown to black, except for posterior 0.4 of anteromesoscutum orange. Metasoma color (dorsally): mostly dark brown to black, except for yellow-orange anterior 0.4-0.6 of mediotergite 1. Coxae color: pale/pale/mostly or completely dark. Metatibia color: pale. Metatarsus color: pale. Pterostigma color: entirely dark. Mediotergite 1 length/width at posterior margin 4.1-4.5 ×. Mediotergite 1 maximum width/width at posterior margin 1.9-2.0 ×. Mediotergite 2 width at posterior margin/length: 3.2-3.3 ×. Mediotergite 2 sculpture: Mostly with longitudinally striate sculpture (sometimes with small, smooth area centrally). Ovipositor sheaths length: 0.8 × as long as metatibia.
Male. As female, but with darker coloration on mesosoma, metasoma and legs.

Etymology.
This species is named in honour of Sr. Raul Solorzano, an environmental Vice-Minister and steadfast supporter of the foundation and survival of ACG in the swirling waters of governmental changes and 25 years of growth from a staid small national park to a dynamic large institution (http://www.acguanacaste.ac.cr).
