Zadbimyia carolinae View in CoL sp. n.

Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 A–C

Diagnosis. A combination of genital characters is specific to Z. carolinae as follows: the gonocoxites have a shallow, broadly rounded emargination ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 A); the ejaculatory apodeme ends in a membranous cap ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 C); and the paramere processes are multi-pointed ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 C). See Z. marcoi for another species with multi-pointed paramere processes ( Fig. 15 View FIGURE 15 B).

Other male characters. Body length 1.8 mm. Head. Eye strongly narrowed ventrally, eye bridge 10–11 ommatidia long dorsally. Scape twice as long as pedicel. With 20 flagellomeres. Fourth flagellomere ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 B): neck as long as node, with microtrichia basally. Maxillary protuberance prolonged. Palpus 3-segmented. Terminalia. Gonocoxites ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 A): ventral emargination densely setose, membranous at base. Gonostylus curved on apical half, excavated dorsomedially, narrowly rounded apically ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 A). Ejaculatory apodeme longer than parameres ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 C). Parameres subtrapezoid, with wide apodemes, apicomedial portion twice as long as wide ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 C).

Etymology. This species is named after Carolina Avila , an INBio-trained parataxonomist whose various duties within ZADBI include the management of both the project’s laboratory and database.

Holotype. Male, Costa Rica, San José province, Moravia, Zurquí de Moravia, 1600 m, 17 March 2013, CDC light trap, ZADBI Project ( ZADBI #568, INBio #106296).
