( MPEG).   Comments.This species is similar to  Apenesia kelsielaby having the head wider than long; the mandible with one tooth; the notaulus complete; the mesoscutum-mesoscutellar suture weakly arched, wide and deep; the hypopygium with flap and posterior margin concave. However,  A. julielahas the metapostnotum irregularly strigate and the metapostnotal median carina present, whereas  A. kelsielahas the metapostnotum almost all polished, being only strigate anteriorly and the metapostnotal median carina absent.   Distribution.Neotropical ( Costa Rica, Brazil). 2556156947 1984-10-04 INPA Bert Klein Brazil Reserva Amazonas Manaus 26 27 1 1 holotype 2556157048 [433,1087,1448,1475] VI Punctarenas & Golfito Costa Rica COSTA RICA 26 27 1 1 paratype 2556156984 [1090,1432,1448,1475] AEIC J.
