Flagellomerus 14 length/width: 1.4?.6. Length of flagellomerus 2/length of flagellomerus 14: 2.3?.5. Tarsal claws: with single basal spine ike seta. Metafemur length/width: 2.8?.9. Metatibia inner spur length/metabasitarsus length: 0.4?.5. Anteromesoscutum: mostly with deep, dense punctures (separated by less than 2.0 ?its maximum diameter). Mesoscutellar disc: mostly punctured. Number of pits in scutoscutellar sulcus: 5 or 6. Maximum height of mesoscutellum lunules/maximum height of lateral face of mesoscutellum: 0.2?.3. Propodeum areola: completely defined by carinae, including transverse carina extending to spiracle. Propodeum background sculpture: mostly sculptured. Mediotergite 1 length/width at BEZ235 biological activity posterior margin: 3.2?.4. Mediotergite 1 shape: mostly parallel ided for 0.5?.7 of its length, then narrowing posteriorly so mediotergite anterior width >1.1 ?posterior width. Mediotergite 1 sculpture: with some sculpture near lateral margins and/or posterior 0.2?.4 of mediotergite. Mediotergite 2 width at posterior margin/length: 3.2?.5. Mediotergite 2 sculpture: mostly smooth. Outer margin of hypopygium: with a wide, medially folded, transparent, semi esclerotized area; usually with 4 or more pleats. Ovipositor thickness: anterior width at most 2.0 ?posterior width (beyond ovipositor constriction). Ovipositor sheaths length/metatibial length: 1.0?.1. Length of fore wing veins r/2RS: 1.4?.6.

Point of insertion of vein r in pterostigma: about half way point length of pterostigma. Angle of vein r with fore wing anterior margin: clearly outwards, inclined towards fore wing apex. Shape of junction of veins r and 2RS in fore wing: distinctly but not strongly angled. Male. Unknown. Molecular data. Sequences in BOLD: 8, barcode compliant sequences: 8. Biology/ecology. Solitary (Fig. 280). Host: Crambidae, Mequitazine site Phostria euagra, Phostria latiapicalis, Phostria metalobalis, Phostria Solis237, Pilocrocis purpurascens, Pilocrocis xanthozonalis. Distribution. Costa Rica, ACG. Etymology. We dedicate this species to Felix Carmona in recognition of his diligent efforts for the ACG Programa Forestal in the Estaci Experimental Forestal Horizontes.
