Bolivar brasiliensis Nunes sp. nov. Figs 1 A–F. Diagnosis. Bolivar brasiliensis sp. nov. is morphologically similar to B. risaraldensis. These two species are distinguished from the remaining members of Bolivar by having a poorly defined propodeal areola, only slightly distinct basally, and propodeum strongly areolate-rugose on apical third. However, the new species can be distinguished from B. risaraldensis by having a body mostly brown to dark brown (with a yellow-dark brown colour pattern in B. risaraldensis), precoxal sulcus running along basal 0.8–0.9 of mesopleuron (about 0.7 in B. risaraldensis), and males usually with an evident protruding lateral area above the pronotal groove. Description. Female. Body length: 4.5 mm. Colour: head brown to dark brown; face and area surrounding eyes light brown; scape and pedicel brown, with a lateral dark brown stripe. Flagellomeres light brown at the base, turning dark brown to apex, preapical eight (right flagellum), nine (left flagellum) flagellomeres white, apical two brown. Pronotum brown dorsolaterally, light brown to yellow ventrally; propleuron light brown to yellow; mesoscutum, propodeum and first metasomal tergite black; mesopleuron black to dark brown dorsally, light brown ventrally; venter of mesosoma light brown to yellow. Wings slightly dusky; veins and stigma brown; tegula light yellow. Legs light brown to yellow. Fore and middle coxae white, hind coxa dorsally yellow to brown, middle and hind femora brown. Third to fifth metasomal tergites brown, second and sixth light brown, remainder dark brown. Ovipositor brown, strongly sclerotized at apex; ovipositor sheaths light brown. Head: vertex and frons finely striate with granulate microscultpure; face slightly transversally striate; temple and gena smooth; clypeus smooth to slightly granulate. Eye 1.2 × higher than wide.

The new records of B. ecuadorensis extend the geographic distribution of the species about 3000 km to the east. This species is now known to occur along the Amazonian region, from Sucumbios, Ecuador, to the east of Par��, Brazil (Fig. 2). Bolivar ecuadorensis is morphologically very similar to B. helmuthi, which also was described from the Amazonian region, in southeast Colombia. These two species were found to have a considerable genetic distance for the Barcoding locus (11.8 %) (Zald��var-River��n et al. 2013). However, the only consistent morphological differences between these two species are the colour of the first metasomal tergite (dark brown to black in B. ecuadorensis, entirely yellow in B. helmuthi) and the sculpture of the second metasomal tergite (entirely sculptured in B. ecuadorensis, only basally in B. helmuthi) (Zald��var-River��n et al. 2013). The specimens from the Amazonian region mentioned above were assigned to B. ecuadorensis based on the presence of a yellow mesosoma and a second metasomal tergite entirely sculptured. However, these specimens have the first metasomal tergite mostly brown. Further morphological and molecular studies will therefore clarify whether B. ecuadorensis and B. helmuthi are conspecific., Published as part of Nunes, Juliano Fiorelini, Penteado-Dias, Angelica Maria, Souza-Gadelha, Sian De & Zald��var-River��n, Alejandro, 2016, A NEW SPECIES OF Bolivar Zald��var-River��n et Rodr��guez-Jim��nez (BRACONIDAE, DORYCTINAE) FROM BRAZIL, WITH NEW RECORDS OF THE AMAZONIAN B. ecuadorensis Zald��var-River��n et L��pez-Estrada, pp. 245-250 in Zootaxa 4109 (2) on pages 249-250, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4109.2.9, http://zenodo.org/record/261537
