Diagnostic description.

T 1 length medially ~ 3.0 × its width at posterior margin; T 2 more or less trapezoidal in shape; T 2 mostly smooth but with some sculpture around margins; tegula and humeral complex yellow; pro- and mesocoxae yellow-white or yellow; metacoxa mostly yellow with dark brown spot on anterior 0.3; metafemur mostly yellow (thin brown area dorsally on apical 0.2–0.3); metatibia brown to dark brown; body length 2.35–2.65 mm; fore wing length: 2.65–3.03 mm. Among all species with T 2 mostly to entirely smooth and pro- and mesocoxae pale, D. annlisterudae can be distinguished by T 1 shape, T 2 shape and sculpture, and color of tegula, humeral complex and coxae, mesofemur and metatibia.

Distribution.

Costa Rica.

Biology.

No host data available.

DNA barcoding data.

BINs BOLD: AAB 5549 (52 sequences, 45 barcode compliant), and BOLD: ACF 0272 (16 sequences, 9 barcode compliant).

Etymology.

Named after Anne Listerud, neighbor to DHJ and WH in Philadelphia, who has helped the inventory in many ways.

Notes.

Specimens of BIN BOLD: AAB 5549 have stigma centrally whitish, T 2 slightly less sculptured (almost entirely smooth), and F 15 comparatively shorter (its length ~ 0.5 length of F 16); whereas the three specimens of BIN BOLD: ACF 0272 have entirely brown stigma, T 2 slightly more sculptured (only centrally smooth), and F 15 comparatively longer (its length ~ 0.7 length of F 16). However, those differences are very subtle and only three females of each BIN were available for study. They were collected by Malaise traps in the same locality ( 1 km apart from each other) and there is no host data for any of them. Because their DNA barcodes are 98.72 % similar (1.28 % bp different) we here consider them to represent the same species.
