This is a difficult species to distinguish from other species. Many of the characters that are used in the key are variable within this species, e.g., (RS+M)a vein of fore wing varies from complete, to almost complete with a small break at midlength, to mostly absent; scutellar depression varies from smooth, lacking longitudinal carinae, to with weak longitudinal carinae; median areola of metanotum smooth to moderately rugose; and the median tergite of the first metasomal segment may be with or without a pair of lateral longitudinal carinae. The coloration of all included specimens is pale yellowish orange with black head, pronotum, and most leg segments. The occiput has tubercles and it is excavated. The hind tibia has many apical spines (18–22). Otherwise, most characters are variable and specimens must be taken through the key.</p> <p>Notes: In the second author’s revision (Briceño 2003), members of this species would mostly key to S. diazi, and two paratypes of S. diazi are included in the type series of S. longinoi. See discussion under S. diazi. The fact that S. longinoi is here split from the concept of S. diazi renders S. diazi rather uniform and easy to diagnose. S. longinoi is rather heterogeneous. Though the coloration of the included specimens is rather uniform, many characters, that are otherwise reliable to distinguish species of Sesioctonus, are variable within the species, as it is here delimited. There are also distributional anomalies that cast doubt on the validity of the species. Though most specimens have been collected in lowland areas, there are three paratypes captured at 1,450 meters in Costa Rica. No other species of Sesioctonus has such a wide altitudinal range. Though we doubt that all of the specimens in the type series constitute one species we have not been able to find any reliable suite of characters to make a better estimate. This is likely a rapidly evolving lineage with weak morphological indications of species status. More data are needed to arrive at a satisfactory answer, if there is one.</p> <p>Description.</p> <p>♀. Length. Length of body, excluding ovipositor, 7.3–8.0 mm.</p> <p>Head.
