Diagnostic description.

T 1 very strongly narrowing towards posterior margin (T 1 width at anterior margin> 2.0 × width at posterior margin, and T 1 median length> 5.0 × width at posterior margin); T 2 smooth; ovipositor sheath almost as long as metatibia length (0.9 ×); tegula yellow; legs mostly pale colored (including pro- and mesocoxae entirely white-yellow, metacoxa with apical 0.3 yellow, metafemur and metatibia mostly yellow, and metatibial spurs yellow); body length: 2.23–2.38 mm; fore wing length: 2.35–2.65 mm; BIN BOLD: AAD 6850 , which is 5.93 % different from the nearest BIN in BOLD as of March 2022. No other described Dolichogenidea species in the Neotropics has T 1 so strongly narrowing towards posterior margin. D. ingredolsonae is relatively similar morphologically, but it has T 1 less strongly narrowing, shorter ovipositor sheath and different color of tegula.
