Diagnostic description.

F 2 length 2.5 × F 14 length; hind legs tarsal claws with single spine; T 1 and T 2 heavily sculptured with strong longitudinal striae; T 1 length <1.5 × T 1 width at posterior margin; T 2 more transverse, its width at posterior margin> 3.0 × its central length; T 2 with smooth spot centrally near posterior margin; ovipositor sheath 1.0–1.1 × metatibia length; pterostigma mostly brown, at most with small pale spot on proximal 0.1–0.2; metacoxa almost entirely dark brown (very small yellow spot on posterior 0.1); metatibial spurs entirely yellow; metatarsus mostly brown; body length: 2.70–2.90 mm; fore wing length: 2.90–2.95 mm. The sculpture of T 2, color of pterostigma, metacoxa, metatibia, metatibial spurs, the length of F 15 and the tarsal claws with a single spine separate D. tiboshartae from all other species with heavily sculptured T 1 and T 2, T 1 comparatively broad and T 2 rectangular and yellow metatibia. The only species closely similar morphologically is D. ninamasisae which has different color of metatarsus, different T 2 shape, slightly larger body size and slightly longer ovipositor sheath.

Etymology.

Named in honor of Mrs. Tishisia Boshart of San Jose and Guanacaste, Costa Rica, in recognition of her persistent and diligent care and management of her household and family with Mr. Alejandro Masis, the Director of Area de Conservación Guanacaste (ACG), and her consistently high-quality recognition posters for honorees with patronyms of new species from ACG.
