Holotype ♀.

Guanacaste, Pailas Dos, PL12-6, 10.7637, -85.333, 853 meters, 16/i/2014, forest, Malaise trap. Depository: CNC.

Holotype voucher code. BIOUG28804-F01.

Paratypes.

Both Malaise-trapped. BIOUG28817-F07, BIOUG10014-B04. Depository: CNC.

Other material.

Specimens in the same BIN are from Belize (BMNHE897719), Chiapas Mexico (07TAPACH-01734), and Kentucky, USA (BCLDQ01649). The specimen from Chiapas has an image on BOLD that appears to be similar to the Costa Rican specimens and therefore it is likely the same species. The Belizean specimens do not have images but are presumably conspecific with the Costa Rican specimens. The Kentucky specimen does not have an image, and its identity is uncertain.

Etymology.

Aleiodes adrianaradulovae is named in honor of Adriana Radulov’s long-appreciated contributions to publicity for ACG, GDFCF, and now, BioAlfa.
