Dorothee panguanensis n. sp.

( Figs 1 – 18 )

Material examined. Holotype female PERU, Huánuco, Yuyapichis, Panguana , 9º37’S – 74º56’W, 220m 21.IX.– 04.X.2004 leg. K. SCHÖNITZER.

Description. Head. Antenna with 27 flagellomeres ( Fig. 10 ), basal flagellomere 1.2 × as long as second flagellomere, second flagellomere 1.1 × as long as third flagellomere; lateral ocellus 1.5 × distant from the eye ( Fig. 12 ); upper part of face with a small protuberance medially, sculpture smooth ( Fig. 11 ); maxillary palps with 5 pal- momeres, labial palps with 4 palpomeres; occipital carina slightly raised behind eyes ( Fig. 12 ), rather straight and apparently not reaching hypostomal carina, which connects independently (directly) to the base of the mandible ( Fig. 9 ).

Mesosoma. Fore wing with postnervulus intercepted in its lower 0.4 ( Figs 5 & 6 ), vein 2m-cu slightly recurved and with one medial bulla (0.25 × of the length of 2m-cu) ( Figs 5 & 6 ), areolet trapezoidal (2rs-m shorter than 3rsm) ( Figs 5 & 6 ); hind wing with nervellus intercepted in its lower 0.30 ( Figs 7 & 8 ), vein AA present and almost reaching wing margin ( Figs 7 & 8 ), vein CU reaching wing margin ( Figs 7 & 8 ), vein AP sinuous, paralell to margin of the wing ( Figs 7 & 8 ); mesopleurum with carina epicnemial ventrally distinct, dorsally weaker, surpassing lower corner of pronotum ( Fig. 2 ); sternaulus weak and reaching 0.65 of mesopleurum ( Fig. 2 ); speculum with episternal scrobe (pit), 2.2 × from the mesopleural furrow ( Fig. 2 ); posterior transverse carina of the mesosternum mostly absent in front of coxa, centrally represented by short vestige; scutellum without lateral carina and moderately convex in profile; propodeum without longitudinal carinae (i.e. pleural carina, lateral longitudinal carina and lateromedian longitudinal carina absent) ( Figs 2 & 4 ), and with spiracle slender (elliptic) ( Figs 2 & 4 ); metapleurum lacking yuxtacoxal carina, and with submetapleural carina forming a moderate lobe ( Fig. 2 ); fore tibia with one tibial spur and 3 spines in front of it, mid and hind tibia with two tibial spurs about the same length; fourth tarsomere of fore leg slightly divided.

Metasoma. First tergite 2.3 × as long as posteriorly broad ( Fig. 15 ), spiracle close to the 0.4 apical of the tergite ( Fig.14 ) and lacking all longitudinal carinae (i.e. ventro, dorsolateral and mediodorsal carinae absent) ( Figs 13 – 15 ); tergite II 1.1 × as long as posteriorly broad ( Figs 13 & 15 ).

Coloration. Mostly orange species ( Figs 1 – 4 ); antenna ( Figs 1 , 3 & 10 ) with first 4 flagellomeres black, 5–15 whitish, 16 – 27 black; head ( Figs 9, 11 & 12 ) mostly yellowish with tips of mandible, occiput, area of temple close to occiput (i.e. bordering occipital carina) and vertex (centrally) black; labial palps brownish ( Fig. 9 ), maxillary palps yellowish ( Fig. 9 ); genal flange brownish ( Fig. 9 ); fore and mid legs with tarsomeres 3 – 5 brownish ( Figs 1 & 3 ), mid and hind tibial spurs brownish ( Fig. 3 ); hind legs with tibia and tarsi yellowish ( Figs 1 & 3 ); wings yellowish hyaline, pterostigma black ( Figs 5 & 7 ); ovipositor sheaths black ( Figs 13, 14 & 17 ).

Etymology: The species name refers to the type locality, Panguana biological research station, in the Peruvian Amazon rainforest.

Distribution record: Amazonia, Peru ( Fig. 18 )
