Habitus Figs 3–4, 32 (lateral). Male genitalia Figs 44, 59–60. Female genitalia Figs 85, 95.</p> <p>Four specimens shared a COI haplotype distinct from those treated above. Whether describing species on the basis of mitochondrial haplotypes alone serves a defensible purpose is a matter of debate, and since the holotype of villosa is not itself barcoded, we have treated both these entities under villosa, but flag the following four specimens (Costa Rica: Alajuela, Area de Conservacion Guanacaste: Sector Rincon Rain Forest): 1♀, Rio Francia Arriba, 10.89666, -85.29003, el. 400m: larva on Asplundia utilis: 01/31/2007, ecl. 02/24/2007, Jose Perez, collector, 07-SRNP-40317, USNMENT01493030, USNM slide 148567. 1♂, Sendero Rincon, 10.8962, -85.27769, el. 430m: larva on Asplundia utilis: 01/09/2002, Fraysi Vargas, collector, 02-SRNP-6046, USNMENT01493015, USNM slide 148569. 1♀, Sendero Rincon, 10.8962, -85.27769, el. 430m: larva on Asplundia utilis: 01/09/2002, ecl. 02/08/2002, Jose Perez, collector, 02-SRNP-6049, USNMENT01493061. 1♀, Sendero Anonas, 10.90528, - 85.27882, el. 405m: larva on Asplundia utilis: 02/12/2009, ecl. 03/12/2009, Jose Perez, collector, 09-SRNP-40157, USNMENT01493174.</p> <p>Diagnosis. Rejectaria villosa is the only species in this treatment comparable in size to the closely-related villavicencia, with which it shares a number of conspicuous features such as the angled male palpi and massive forefemoral tufts. It may be distinguished from villavicencia by its straight, more distinct FW antemedial line in the male and the less pronounced reniform spot in the female. Both species exhibit similar sexual dimorphism, with both antemedial (am) and postmedial (pm) lines in the females of both species present and jagged but with less contrast in female villosa. The male genitalia of villosa are distinct, with the distal third of the costa free and bowed or sinuous; the free projection in ritaashleyae is similar but more gently curved and not sinuous, and the costal sclerotization in the valva of villavicencia terminates approximately halfway along the valva as a small nubbin. Both villosa and villavicencia share with magas and ritaashleyae the distinctly configured ventral band of signa in the corpus bursa, but with at least 17 toothed discs, whereas the other species have 12–14.</p> <p>Re-description. Head. (Figs 31, 40) Frons, vertex gray-brown; antennae setose-ciliate; male palpi (Fig. 31) similar to those of villavicencia (see above), angled backward at junction of 2 nd and 3 rd segment with visible notch between the two; female palpi (based on specimen of possible cryptic sp. nr. villosa; Fig. 32) with predominantly cocoa-brown scaling, 2 nd segment broadest toward the base, with scattered white scales, 3 rd segment fine, nearly as long as the 2 nd, with dark gray scales outwardly intermixed with beige scales at base and at tip. Note that the female figured is one of four specimens bearing a distinct haplotype that may represent a distinct species (see explanation, above).</p> <p>Thorax. Wings— (males, 25.8mm, n=5; females, 24mm, n=5) FW and HW gray-brown overall; FW antemedial line very faint, if present, pale inward; postmedial line on both FW and HW dark inward; reniform stigma black, somewhat diffuse, inwardly edged with tan; subterminal (st) line quite faint, jagged, visible primarily as pale points along a faint jagged line; terminal line a series of minute black chevrons with paler tannish-brown edging at the base of the fringe; female am and pm lines wavy, median area paler than am and pm. Legs— (Figs 31, 40, cf. sp. nr. villosa, Fig. 32) Uniformly tannish-gray; bands faint, if present, in male, conspicuous in female; male forefemoral tufts massive.</p> <p>Abdomen. Gray-brown above, concolorous with ground color of uppersides of wings.</p> <p>Male genitalia. (including sp. nr. villosa, Figs 43–48; 57–60; 65–72) Uncus elongate, setose, sheepsfoot-shaped, costal arm free of valva for distal third of its length and sinuous; vinculum bluntly tapered; small phallic ridge present; vesica multi-lobate with microspines distributed on phallus at base of vesica, concentrated on subbasal lobe and more diffusely throughout lower vesica.</p> <p>Female genitalia. (including sp. nr. villosa, Figs 85–87, 95, 97) Ductus bursae with broad sclerotization along most of its length; laterally produced deformation at base if whorled appendix bursae, comparable to that of villavicencia and ritaashleyae; well-developed mid-ventral band of micro-spinules on corpus bursae, (Figs 95, 97), band subparallel to long axis of corpus, punctuated by a series of 17 internal toothed semicircular ridges comparable to those in villavicencia, richardashleyi, ritaashleyae, and magas; smaller secondary band of spinules near junction with ductus bursae.</p> <p>Immature stages. (Figs 103–104, 106, 108–109) Mature larvae dull brown-green with reddish intersegmental rings; head calico-patterned; younger larva with distinct dark dorsal midstripe.</p> <p>Biology. Larvae have been documented feeding on Asplundia utilis (4), Carludovica costaricensis (3), and Cyclanthus bipartitus (6).</p> <p>Distribution. Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela, Colombia</p> <p>Remarks. Based on available barcode data, there is reason to suspect the existence of one or more cryptic sibling species near villosa. However, the combination of a limited number of available specimens, a lack of conspicuous geographic variation and variation among females in particular, and finally the absence of barcode or dissection data from the female holotype, preclude a thorough assessment or adequate description of a new species. Observed variation, even in male genitalia, among Costa Rican, Panamanian, Venezuelan, and Colombian specimens is not geographically consistent. Barcoded specimens from ACG include four specimens sharing a distinct haplotype but no observed morphological differences, listed above as a possible species near villosa under “anomalous specimens.” We have elected not to describe a new species since the application of a name to either haplotype cluster would be arbitrary in the absence of DNA barcode data from the female holotype, but have included figures among those of villosa.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/ED45EA6DFF8FFFA4FF58F941FF13D67F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Rejectaria villavicencia may be the largest named species of New World Herminiinae. Both villavicencia and villosa are sexually dimorphic, but villavicencia less pronouncedly; the paler tannish-brown coloration in the median field of the female FW is more diffuse in villavicencia than in villosa. Male villavicencia are slightly larger than male villosa with more elongate forewings, but the am and pm lines are wavy in both sexes of villavicencia, whereas the pm line in villosa is straight. The reniform spot in villavicencia is light brown, larger than that in villosa, and, in the male of villavicencia, more clearly divided and circumscribed with a black boundary. The am and st lines in villavicencia are discontinuous and less faint than in villosa, and the terminal line is a series of alternating black and orange-brown curved dashes; all lines reappear in the same configuration on the middle third of the HW, as in villosa. The male genitalia of villavicencia are distinct, with the costal sclerotization terminating less than midway along the costa as a thorn-like projection. The female genitalia, again most similar to those of villosa, share with that species a laterally produced deformation above the whorled appendix bursa; both share with magas and ritaashleyae the distinct band of signa but the number of serrate hemi-discs differs.</p> <p>Re-description. Head. (Figs 33–34, 41) Frons, vertex gray-brown; antennae setose-ciliate; male palpi (Fig. 33) sweeping over head, with eye-level notch at the acutely angled junction of 1st and 2nd segment; 2 nd segment broad at base and tapering as it arches over head; 3 rd segment approximately as long as 2 nd; female palpi (Fig. 34) incomplete on specimens examined but 2 nd segment arches gently upward. Thorax. Wings— (males, 30mm, n=5; female, 30mm, n=1[type]) Sexual dimorphism conspicuous, with paler tannish-brown coloration dominant but diffuse in median field of female FW; reniform spot tannish-orange, outlined in black; bands and coloration continue on hind wings. Legs— (Figs 33–34, 41) Male forefemoral tufts massive; legs more or less uniformly tannish-gray throughout; bands faint, if present.</p> <p>Abdomen. Gray-brown above, concolorous with ground color of uppersides of wings.</p> <p>Male genitalia. (Figs 49–50, 61–64) Uncus elongate, setose, sheepsfoot-shaped; costa rudimentary, sclerotized in basal ~third only, free terminus reduced to a small nub mid-way along the costa, bearing a small setal tuft; vinculum bluntly tapered; small phallic ridge present; vesica multi-lobate; microspines distributed on phallus at base of vesica, concentrated on subbasal lobe and more diffusely throughout lower vesica; localized sclerotization apically. Female genitalia. (Fig. 88, 96) Ductus bursae elongate with sclerotized bands along most of its length; corpus bursae deformed where it meets ductus, at base of whorled appendix bursae comparable to that of villosa and ritaashleyae; well-developed mid-ventral band of micro-spinules (Fig. 96) on corpus bursae, subparallel to long axis of corpus, punctuated by a series of 14 internal perpendicular ridges comparable to those in villosa, richardashleyi, ritaashleyae, and magas; secondary band of spinules present near junction with ductus bursae.</p> <p>Immature stages. (Figs 105, 107) Mature larvae purplish with reddish intersegmental rings; head and prothoracic shield dark brown; spiracles dark, conspicuous.</p> <p>Etymology. The specific epithet villavicencia refers to the type locality, Villavicencio, Colombia.</p> <p>Biology. Larvae have been documented feeding on Cyclanthus bipartitus (5) and Asplundia utilis (1).</p> <p>Distribution. Colombia, Costa Rica</p> <p>Remarks. This and the closely related villosa are the two largest species of New World Herminiinae of which we are aware. We acknowledge the possibility that the reared specimens of villavicencia from Costa Rica represent a distinct species from the Colombia holotype, but without the benefit of examining and multiple barcoded specimens, there is no evidence to support the description of a second species. Hence we treat the Costa Rican material as villavicencia pending the accumulation of more data.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/ED45EA6DFF88FFA6FF58FA05FD11D077	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Rejectaria paratrax has more uniformly dark brown FW coloration than atrax / splendida, due to the absence of frosting in the antemedial and postmedial fields, including the subapical patch. The presence of a white, entire am line in paratrax differentiates it from ritaashleyae from ritaashleyae. The male genitalia of paratrax are most similar to those of splendida, with the valval costa sclerotized along most of its length and terminating in a small thumb-like free projection at its terminus, but smaller and less robust in paratrax. The female genitalia of paratrax are distinct from others examined, particularly in the configuration of the ventral band of spines on the corpus bursae, similar to that in richardashleyi but with no secondary band, unlike richardashleyi.</p> <p>Description. Head. Frons, vertex, dark chocolate-brown; antennae setose-ciliate, clustered cilia more pronounced in male; male palpi (Fig. 29) predominantly dark brown with scattered white scales, overall shape squared, the 1 st and 2 nd segments forming right angles, 1 st segment turning upward at a 90˚ angle before meeting the 2 nd segment; 2 nd segment curving gently for most of its length before turning sharply backward, well above the head; everted hair pencils straw-colored; female palpi (Fig. 30) predominantly chocolate brown, palpi sweeping upward, 2 nd segment more than twice as long as either of the other two, third segment bladelike, vaguely hastate, white scales at base and tip.</p> <p>Thorax. Wings— (male, 19.5mm, n=2; female, 21mm, n=3) FW and HW dark brown, the most prominent markings the fine white am and pm lines and the small white median stigma; am line terminates before reaching costa; st line faint, appearing as a series of minute white dots; terminal line consisting of a series of widely spaced white dots on both FW and HW; as in related species, am line absent on HW and pm and st lines reappear in middle third of HW; HW slightly fainter, more dingy gray-brown than FW.</p> <p>Legs— (Figs 29, 30) Male forefemoral tuft present, brown with sparse white scaling; female legs Predominantly brown; leg segment and tarsal segments with a distinct ring of white scales.</p> <p>Abdomen. Dark brown above, concolorous with forewing uppersides.</p> <p>Male genitalia. (Fig. 52, 79–80) Uncus elongate, setose, sheepsfoot-shaped; costal margin of valva sclerotized throughout, free distally as a thumblike protruberance; outer margin with multiple small setal tufts; vinculum bluntly tapered; phallus with subbasal spicule field reduced; phallic ridge present; body of vesica flanked by sub-conical lobes; vesica highly differentiated with multiple lobes and diverticula, spinules distributed diffusely on large mediodistal lobe.</p> <p>Female genitalia. (Fig. 92, 101) Ductus bursae elongate, sclerotized bands along most of its length; ductus joins corpus bursae at oblique angle as in ritaashleyae; corpus bursae simple, eggplant-shaped, band of signa (Fig. 101) weakly developed as series of internal toothlike spines, as in richardashleyi, opposite the coiled appendix bursae.</p> <p>Immature stages. Unknown.</p> <p>Etymology. The specific epithet paratrax refers to this species similarity to atrax.</p> <p>Biology. Unknown.</p> <p>Distribution.

R. Jan. 1940, Dr. A. Alfaro, USNMENT01756203</p> <p>Diagnosis. Rejectaria ritaashleyae is readily identified by the combination of the sharp delineation of the uniformly chocolate brown basal and medial fields from the diffuse gray-brown terminal area, the absence of an am line, and the faint whitish st line. The male genitalia of this species are similar to those of villosa in that the costal terminus is free, but gently downcurved and not sinuous as in villosa. This is one of at least four species in which the corpus is transversed by an internal band of microspinules along which a series of serrate ridges runs perpendicular. There are 13 such ridges in ritaashleyae and 12–13 in magas, fewer than in the specimens examined of villavicencia (14) and villosa (17).</p> <p>Description. Head. Predominantly cocoa-brown; antennae setose-ciliate; male palpi (Fig. 37) sweep backward, partially encircling the eye closely, a notch between 1 st and 2 nd palpal segments visible at mid-eye-level similar to that in villavicencia and villosa; male palpus uniformly chocolate brown except for tan-colored hair pencil, when everted; female palpi (Fig. 38) cocoa-brown, curved in a semicircle, 3 rd segment fine, nearly as long as 2 nd, scaled dark gray and faintly edged with white at base and tip.</p> <p>Thorax. Wings— (males, 24.1mm, n=5; females, 23.7mm, n=5) Basal and medial fields uniformly chocolate brown with a minute gray medial stigma; basal and am lines barely visible as such; pm line sharp, with diffuse whitish-gray shading at the outer edge; st line faint, wavy, white; terminal line entire on both FW and HW, dark gray-brown inwardly, paler tannish-brown towards the fringe; pattern on HW recapitulates that on FW. Legs— (Figs 37–38) Predominantly cocoa-brown, intersegmental bands cream-colored; male forefemoral tuft present, brown towards base, otherwise gray; tannish hind-femoral tufts present.</p> <p>Abdomen. Gray-brown above, concolorous with HW upperside.</p> <p>Male genitalia. (Figs 51, 73–74) Uncus elongate, setose, sheepsfoot-shaped; costa free of valva for distal third of its length and gently curved, not sinuous; vinculum bluntly tapered; reduced phallic ridge present; vesica not highly differentiated, microspines largely confined to subbasal lobe; body of vesica flanked by sub-conical lobes comparable to those in splendida and paratrax, above; spinules concentrated on subbasal lobe, with localized apical sclerotization.</p> <p>Female genitalia. (Figs 89, 90, 98, 100) Ductus bursae elongate but with sclerotized bands reduced relative to other species treated here, extending less than half the length of the ductus itself; ductus joins corpus bursae at oblique angle as in paratrax; corpus bursae oblong; well-developed internal mid-ventral band of micro-spinules (Figs 98, 100) punctuated by a series of 13 perpendicular serrate ridges similar to those in villavicencia, villosa, and magas; as in magas, the band itself nearly perpendicular to long axis of the corpus, and less angled towards the apex of the corpus than in the other species; appendix bursae whorled, comparable to that of villavicencia and villosa.</p> <p>Immature stages. (Figs 110–114) Fifth instar larva smooth, uniformly shamrock- or emerald-green, with pale pinacula and a faint spiracular line; spiracles dark surrounded by pale ring; head calico-patterned fronto-laterally.</p> <p>Etymology. Rejectaria ritaashleyae is named in honor of Rita Ashley of Texas and Nicoya, Costa Rica, in recognition of her many years of support for Biodiversity Development and Inventory of Area of Conservacion Guanacaste and its recent expansion nationally as BioAlfa, an effort to support Costa Rica’s bioliteracy.</p> <p>Biology. Larvae have been documented feeding on Asplundia utilis (n = 19), Asplundia microphylla (n = 25), Cyclanthus bipartitus (2). Several parasitoids have been reared from ritaashleyae, including Euplectrus paulhansoni (Eulophidae) and an undescribed Diradops (“Wahl03OLD”; Ichneumonidae: Banchinae) from larvae feeding on A. microphylla (04-SRNP-34368 and 09-SRNP-32451, respectively), an undescribed Dusona (“INB099”) from larvae feeding on A. microphylla and A. utilis (05-SRNP-32624 and 06-SRNP-7891, respectively); and an undetermined Tachinidae. None of these have been recorded from other cyclanth-feeders.The parasitoid Zelomorpha paulgoldsteini (Braconidae: Agathidinae) was reared from R. ritaashleyae larvae on Asplundia utilis (4 records; 05-SRNP- 40147, 10-SRNP-68136, 10-SRNP-68138, 15-SRNP-45311), Asplundia microphylla (1 record; 13-SRNP-79938), Carludovica costaricensis (5 records: 02-SRNP-6055, 13-SRNP-45094, 13-SRNP-45097, 13-SRNP-45161, 13- SRNP-45284), and Cyclanthus bipartitus (1 record, 05-SRNP-23084). This parasitoid has also been reared from several related fern-feeding Herminiinae at ACG as well as from the fern-feeding noctuids Callopistria floridensis on Nephrolepis biserrata (Nephrolepidaceae; 11-SRNP-69208) and Blechnum occidentale (Blechnaceae; 13-SRNP- 3034), and Callopistria mexicana on Bolbitis portoricensis (Dryopteridaceae; 10-SRNP-21839).</p> <p>Distribution.

Rejectaria magas is most similar in appearance to R. richardashleyi sp. n., below, and to Bleptina albidiscalis. Rejectaria magas shares most of the wing pattern elements of R. richardashleyi but can be differentiated from both species by the paler tannish-brown (as opposed to dark brown) coloration, and can be further differentiated from richardashleyi by the lack of large hind-femoral tufts. The valva is similar to that of richardashleyi with sclerotization confined to the basal half of the costa and no free protrusion at the valva’s terminus, but with a minute protrusion at the terminus of the sclerotized basal part of the costa. The female genitalia share a distinctly configured band of signa with ritaashleyae, villavicencia, and villosa but with fewer (12–13) toothed discs than the latter two species.</p> <p>Supplement to original description. Head. Vertex and collar mixed with beige and cream-colored scales; antennae setose-ciliate; male palpi missing from specimen examined; female palpi (Fig. 39) with 2 nd segment nearly straight, 3 rd segment fine, ~half as long as 2 nd, closely scaled with beige at each end, with an uneven band of larger, gray scales in the middle.</p> <p>Thorax. Wings— (male, 20mm, n=1; female 18mm, n=2). Male costa distinctly tan, concolorous with collar, darker brown shading concentrated beneath costa towards base; FW and HW tannish brown overall, paler between pm and st lines; basal line absent; FW am line wavy, shaded brown outwardly, paler inward; pm line straight, inwardly a diffuse dark brown band, outwardly a more sharp, tannish brown line, angled inward near costa; subterminal band a series of brown dashes tipped outwardly pale; terminal line a series of fine black dashes. FW pattern recapitulated on HW. Legs— (Fig. 39) Male forefemoral tuft present; legs uniformly tannish brown, with bands faint, if present.</p> <p>Abdomen. Tannish-brown, concolorous with uppersides of wings</p> <p>Male genitalia. (Fig. 55,81–82) Uncus elongate, setose, sheepsfoot-shaped; costal margin sclerotized in basal half, entirely fused with valva except for minuscule terminal nubbin comparable to but smaller than that in villavicencia; outer margin of valva rounded; vinculum bluntly tapered; small phallic ridge present; vesica multilobate; microspines distributed on phallus at base of vesica, concentrated on subbasal lobe and more diffusely throughout lower vesica.</p> <p>Female genitalia. (Fig. 93, 99) Ductus bursae with broad sclerotization along most of its length; corpus bursae swollen near junction with ductus; appendix bursae partially coiled but not whorled as in villosa; corpus bursae with mid-ventral band of micro-spinules well-developed (Fig. 99), punctuated by a series of 12-13 internal perpendicular ridges as in villavicencia, villosa, richardashleyi, and ritaashleyae; faint secondary band includes faint internal ridges, appearing to echo primary band.</p> <p>Immature stages.

Rejectaria richardashleyi bears a number of strong similarities to both R. magas (see diagnosis above) and B. albidiscalis. It differs from both species in its large hind-femoral tufts; from albidiscalis in the broken HW submarginal band, which is more continuous in albidiscalis, and possibly in the configuration of the male palp, the second segment of which extends approximately to just beyond the patagium in richardashleyi, and to the center of the thorax in albidiscalis. Rejectaria richardashleyi is also similar to Strathocles magnipilosa but the latter species has vastly expanded hind femoral tufts and elongate forewings, each with a posteromedial hyaline patch. Rejectaria richardashleyi is outwardly distinguished from other Neotropical Herminiinae by the combination of the bold yellowish-tan am and pm lines on the forewing, their dark shading flanking the median field, and the small pale crescent lunule; additionally, in the male genitalia, the costa of the valva is completely fused to the valva, and sclerotized in its basal half; the vesica bears a conspicuously anvil-shaped subbasal lobe, similar to that in magas. The female genitalia lack the serrate semicircular ridges inside the bursa which are present in villosa, villavicencia, magas, and ritaashleyae.</p> <p>Description. Head. Frons, vertex dark chocolate-brown; antennae setose-ciliate; male palpi (Fig. 35) dark brown, orange scaling along inner edge of 2 nd segment, highly developed, sweeping back sharply over the head, but with no acute angles; female palpi (Fig. 36) cocoa-brown, curved in a semicircle, 3 rd segment fine, nearly as long as 2 nd, scaled dark gray and faintly edged with white at base and tip.</p> <p>Thorax. Wings— (males, 19mm, n=5; females, 18mm, n=5) Forewing dusky brown; basal line absent; am and pm lines both present and bicolorous, dark brown outwardly, paler inward; median stigma a small pale lunule; pm line sharp, inwardly a diffuse dark brown band, outwardly a more sharp, tannish brown line, angled slightly inward near costa; st line faint, pale, jagged; terminal line a series of black chevrons edged outwardly with tannish brown; HW concolorous with FW, basal and am lines absent, pm and st lines continuous with those of FW. Legs— (Figs 35, 36) Male with conspicuous tufts on all legs, hind-femoral tufts the most expansive; white bands present in female.</p> <p>Abdomen. Dark brown, concolorous with uppersides of wings.</p> <p>Male genitalia. (Figs 56, 83–84) Uncus elongate, setose, sheepsfoot-shaped, costal margin of valva sclerotized or partially sclerotized basally, without any part free, sclerotized in basal half, a small setal tuft at terminus of sclerotization; vinculum bluntly tapered; phallic ridge present; vesica multi-lobate, with thin sclerotized patch originating on phallus and bearing reduced patch of microspines; microspines on remainder of vesica concentrated primarily on two subbasal lobes, one anvil-shaped.</p> <p>Female genitalia. (Figs 94, 102) Ductus and corpus bursae more stout than in previous species; bursal band of signa (Fig. 102) weakly developed as series of rudimentary toothlike internal spines, less well developed than in paratrax, and opposite corkscrew-shaped appendix bursae, also shared by those species; a small patch and partial second band of toothlike spines closer to ductus; spinules distributed medioventrally in the vicinity of the belt.</p> <p>Immature stages. (Figs 115–117) Mature larva green with pale subdorsal and spiracular stripes; head green with four dark stripes; dorsal stripes yellowish; subdorsal and spiracular stripes white; intersegmental bands yellowish white.</p> <p>Etymology. Rejectaria richardashleyi is named in honor of Richard C.Ashley of Texas and Nicoya, Costa Rica, in recognition of his many years of support for Biodiversity Development and Inventory of Area of Conservacion Guanacaste and its recent expansion nationally as BioAlfa, an effort to support Costa Rica’s bioliteracy.</p> <p>Biology. Larvae documented feeding on Asplundia microphylla (n = 43), Asplundia utilis (n = 74), Carludovica costaricensis (n = 5), and Cyclanthus bipartitus (n=9). The parasitoid Zelomorpha paulgoldsteini (Braconidae: Agathidinae) was reared from R. richardashleyi larvae on Asplundia utilis (3 records: 10-SRNP-68136, 10-SRNP- 68138, 15-SRNP-45311); see parasitoid records under ritaashleyae, above.</p> <p>Distribution. Costa Rica</p> <p>Remarks. This species bears a number of similarities to both Bleptina albdidiscalis and Strathocles magnipilosa as well as Rejectaria magas, but in the absence of a phylogenetic analysis it is unclear whether these represent synapomorphies.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/ED45EA6DFF9DFFBAFF58F8B7FEACD6AA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
