Holotype ♀.

Alajuela, Sector Rincon Rain Forest, Quebrada Escondida, 10.89928, -85.27486, 420 meters, caterpillar collection date: 19/vii/2011, wasp emergence date: 29/vii/2011, one of two wasps that emerged from the same host caterpillar. Depository: CNC.

Host data. Sometimes gregarious parasitoid of Desmia octomaculalis ( Crambidae ) feeding on Notoplura uliginosa ( Rubiaceae ).

Caterpillar and holotype voucher codes. 11-SRNP-43374, DHJPAR0055451.

Paratypes.

Hosts = Desmia ploralis , Desmia octomaculalis . 1 specimen same data as holotype, and DHJPAR0041689, DHJPAR0051039, DHJPAR0054838, DHJPAR0064146, DHJPAR0064159, DHJPAR0051039, DHJPAR0038269, DHJPAR0038357, DHJPAR0064159 (four specimens do not show in the BOLDBIN because they have relatively short barcodes, but by their host caterpillars and tight clustering in the NJ tree, they are unambiguously Hormius jorgecarvajali ). Depository: CNC.

Etymology.

Hormius jorgecarvajali is named in honor of Jorge Carvajal, the decades-long logistics facilitator for INBio and now, BioAlfa in its temporary residence in the INBio facilities.
