Description

Male (Fig. 4a, b, c). Head (Fig. 4c): frontal vitta dark black, narrowed apically to slightly less than the width of the ocellar triangle, fronto-orbital plate as wide as frontal vitta; ocellar bristles well developed, proclinate, half as long as arista; frontal bristles extending below level of arista by width of two bristles; small black setulae intermingled with frontal bristles all along the parafrontal, extending to level of upper margin of pedicel; antenna black; arista black and bare, minutely pubescent at its base and bare at its tip; proclinate orbital bristles absent; parafrontal mostly silver except for gold tinge along the margin of the frontal vitta, surrounding frontal bristles; parafacial silver; palpus yellow and haired at its tip; gena 1/10 height of head. Thorax (Fig. 4a, b): grayish-gold when viewed dorsally, with four longitudinal dark gray vittae; scutellum bearing silver tomentosity over its entirety, this tomentosity shifting in color to velvety black when viewed dorsally (extending to underside of scutellum). Legs black; anteroventral surface of hind femur bearing 5-6 long erect bristles of irregular length and irregularly spaced, anterodorsal surface of hind tibia with regularly spaced comb of bristles 3X as long as tibia is wide; anteroventral surface of hind tibia lacking tightly adpressed, short, regularly spaced hairs but with 5-6 long bristles of irregular length and erratic spacing. Wing (Fig. 4a): pale smoky yellowish in color; calypters dark amber yellow translucent, haired along their margins. Abdomen (Fig. 4a): ground color of abdomen dark brown, almost black, dorsally, appearing dark velvety black medially, with bright silver, gold tinged tomentose bands covering up to 1/3 of tg 3, 4, and 5, these bands changing to silver and wrapping around to the underside of the abdomen; bands appearing broken dorsocentrally; only tergites 3, 4 and 5 possess median marginal bristles. Ventrolateral surface concolorous; sex patches present on ventral surface of tg 4 and tg 5. Terminalia (Figs 5c, 6c, 7c): sternite 5 with deep wide U-shaped median cleft, forming two rounded outer lobes, these covered in dense tomentum; lobes of sternite 5 bearing 5 long bristles marginally, the longest approximately 2X as long as other bristles present on sternite 5. Cerci almost flat when viewed laterally, but with a distinct angular bend approximately halfway, creating a very slight forward angle on the anterior half; cerci narrow and finger-like in dorsal view, not fused medially, maintaining an almost equidistant separation along their entire length; cerci covered in long setulae dorsally, tapering at around 4/5 of their length, with only the apex bare. Surstylus short and truncate, approximately 2/3 as long as cerci; surstylus rounded and sub-triangular with a slight hook to the tip when viewed laterally; lateral surface of surstylus slightly haired, inferior margin apically with 3-5 stout bristles, confined to anterior apex, these bristles being much stouter and thicker than any others present on the genitalia. Epandrium, when viewed laterally, not extending backwards, 2/3 length of cerci. Phallus short and stout, approximately same length as cerci. Postgonite 1/3 as long as phalloapodeme and with a strong forward curve.

Female (Fig. 4d, e, f). Head (Fig. 4f): frontal vitta dark black, narrowed apically to less than the width of the ocellar triangle, fronto-orbital plate as wide as frontal vitta; frontal bristles not reaching below level of pedicel; 2 proclinate orbital bristles present; parafrontal with gold over more than half its surface, extending down to lower proclinate orbital bristle, gold color then tapering to just along facial margin down to the lowest frontal bristle, sparsely populated with minute setulae over its entire surface; parafacial silver; palpi orange and haired. Thorax (Fig. 4d, e): golden when viewed dorsally with four longitudinal gray vittae, these only slightly visible post-suturally, appearing broken at thoracic suture; four post-sutural dorsocentral bristles; scutellum bearing gold tomentosity distally, and black proximal to the mesothorax. Legs and wings as in males. Abdomen (Fig. 4d): abdominal tergites dark velvety black medially, with a bright brassy band covering 2/3 or more of tergal surface, these bands changing to silver as they wrap around to the underside of the abdomen. Tergites 3, 4 and 5 possessing median marginal bristles, syntergite 1+2 without such bristles.

Diagnosis

Fronto-orbital plate with gold tomentum, prominent along margin of the frontal vitta and surrounding the frontal bristles; parafacial silver; calypters entirely dark amber yellow translucent; anterodorsal surface of hind tibia with a regularly spaced comb of bristles 3X as long as tibia is wide; abdominal tergites with black ground color bearing bright silver tomentose bands covering up to 1/3 of tergal surface; syntergite 1+2 lacking median marginal bristles; ventrolateral surface of syntergite 1+2, tg 3, and tg 4 concolorous with black ground color of dorsal surface. Epandrium, when viewed laterally, not extending backwards, 2/3 length of cerci. Phallus short and stout, approximately same length as cerci. Postgonite 1/3 as long as phalloapodeme with a strong forward curve. Ametadoria mauriciogurdiani is distinguished from A. fuliginipennis , which is also black in overall ground color, by the following traits: tergal tomentosity in A. fuliginipennis is reduced on tg 3 relative to A. mauriciogurdiani and increased to over half of tergal surface on tg 4 and tg 5; abdominal tomentosity in A. fuliginipennis is of a bright golden color in comparison with the more silver tone in A. mauriciogurdiani .

Etymology

Ametadoria mauriciogurdiani is named in recognition of Mauricio Gurdián Chamorro for his contributions to the accounting team for Area de Conservación Guanacaste, the forest this fly lives in.

Distribution

Costa Rica, ACG, Prov. Guanacaste and Alajuela, rain forest and dry forest, 123-675 m elevation.

Ecology

Host: Ametadoria mauriciogurdiani was reared from at least six species of unidentified Zygaenidae feeding on Dilleniaceae and Marcgraviaceae .
