The purpose of this research is to diagnose and name 158 new species of Costa Rican Mesochorus Gravenhorst, 1829 (Ichneumonidae) from Área de Conservación Guanacaste [ACG] in northwestern Costa Rica, and to provide host records for 129 of these.

Species of Mesochorus are found worldwide and all species for which the biology is known are hyperparasitoids, primarily of the larvae of endoparasitic Braconidae and Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera), rarely Tachinidae (Diptera), and more rarely Hemiptera and Psocoptera. More than 900 species of Mesochorus have been described and these comprise about 80 % of all mesochorines (Yu et al., 2016). Members can be distinguished from all other Mesochorinae by the presence of a transverse carina ventral to the antennal sockets (this carina is absent in all other genera), though this carina may be very weak and restricted to a small area medially.

Araujo (2018) corrected the key to the world genera of Mesochorinae published in Araujo et al., (2018). Dasch (1974) treated what he considered to be 245 species of Neotropical Mesochorus, including species he described under Piestetron Dasch, 1974, Rhaibaspis Dasch, 1974, and Oncocotta Dasch, 1974. This is one of the largest revisions of any ichneumonoid taxon. Although a few of the species described by Dasch may be redescribed in this Costa Rican Mesochorus study we choose to ignore his species concepts, and therefore we do not attempt to coordinate with his names. There are four main reasons, which are expanded as follows. One: he described only a small fraction of the species that occur in Costa Rica. Two: his key does not work, leading the user to ambiguity. Three: it would take years to mimic his approach with the huge number of Costa Rican Mesochorus. Four: morphological differences are not sufficient to distinguish species of Mesochorus as demonstrated by their hosts and DNA barcodes.

One: Dasch (1974) treated a very small proportion of ACG Mesochorus species, therefore few synonyms will be generated in our current effort which does not attempt to match his names with Costa Rican specimens. The proportion of the total ACG Mesochorus species can be estimated by comparing the percentage of Malaise-trapped species with those reared by Janzen, Hallwachs and their team over 37 years (Fig. 1). 145 species were reared, and 37 species were captured in Malaise traps in the same forests. The overlap between these two collecting techniques is 12 species. Only 32.4 % (12/37) of the Malaise-trapped species were also reared. This suggests that the reared species represent only 32.4 % of the total number of ACG species of Mesochorus occurring in ACG. Extrapolating from this percentage (145/0.324) there are an estimated 447.5 species of Mesochorus in ACG. ACG has 65 % or less of the Costa Rican fauna and flora of the well-documented taxa, e.g., birds, angiosperms, mammals, butterflies. Under the assumption that Mesochorus diversity follows this pattern there are a predicted 688 (447.5/0.65) species of Mesochorus in Costa Rica.

Dasch (1974) included 15 species with holotypes from localities in Costa Rica. However, Dasch’s specimens are from all over Costa Rica and since the ACG contains only about 65 percent of the Costa Rican fauna, 65 % of Dasch’s 15 species (~ ten) are likely to occur in ACG. The probability of any of these ten species being in the current revision can be estimated as the predicted fraction of Mesochorus species occurring in Costa Rica that are also in the present treatment, which is 23 % (158/688). In other words, it is likely that we are generating two or three synonyms (0.23 x 10) of these Dasch species. Taxapad lists 30 species recorded from Costa Rica, most of which were identified by Dasch so the number of estimated synonyms created may be four to six. This would only be true if the species concepts of each of the species with holotypes outside the country did not contain multiple species, as is our (MS) experience with strictly morphological approaches to species delimitation.

Dasch did not include any species whose holotypes are from Nicaragua and only one from Panama. However, there were a few from Honduras and many from Mexico. Some of these may also be included in our revision, but we estimate that the total number of synonyms generated by the current manuscript will be less than ten, and these can only be resolved later by obtaining barcodes from Dasch’s holotypes or topotypic specimens that are identical morphologically.

Two: The Dasch (1974) key does not work. We ask the readers to carefully read the couplet from Dasch’s key in Fig. 2. Imagine the futility of trying to identify the 158 species of ACG Mesochorus species knowing that only ten of them are likely to be included in the key. Our (MS) experience trying to do this, is that most specimens fail the key at some point. They usually partially fit both parts of a couplet. Henry Townes (RIP) is the most prominent ichneumonologist of all time and founder of the American Entomological Institute. He knew that his species-level keys for large genera did not work for others, but he followed protocols/rules to validate his species assignments (personal communication to MS decades ago).

Fig. 2 Couplet 58 in the key to Neotropical Mesochorus (Dasch,1974). 

Many of the characters in Dasch’s key use jargon that only a few entomologists know. For example, few of the general population understand the terms postpetiole and frons (Fig. 3). The key is almost impossible for professional taxonomists, and it is in an alien language for the vast majority of potential users. This raises the question of for whom we are writing keys. Until recently, identification of all but the most flamboyant of insects was exclusively the job of taxonomists. They were forced to use keys such as Dasch’s or use direct comparisons with specimens scattered among the world’s museums. COI barcodes do the job so much more simply, quickly, and cheaply. Imagine if all of the estimated 688 species of Mesochorus were included in a morphological key. The key would likely be over 700 couplets long and impossible to work through, especially since many of the species would be represented by single specimens and morphological variation would be unknown.

Fig. 3 Couplet 83 in the key to Neotropical Mesochorus (Dasch,1974). 

We (MS) investigated the number of citations for Dasch (1974). According to a search in Google Scholar (October 19, 2021); this Mesochorus revision has 41 citations. The majority of the citations are geographical surveys that simply copy the distributional records that are in these papers and do not confirm any identifications. For example, Rodríguez-Berrío et al., (2009) surveyed the literature for all Ichnemonidae occurring in Peru and included a number of species cited as being present in Peru by Dasch (1974); the keys and descriptions were not employed. Only two citations were found (Janzen et al., 2003; González-Moreno & Bordera, 2012) that used the key to identify species, and both contain doubtful identifications due to the problems elucidated above. How can any reader have confidence that the identifications are correct? With barcodes associated with each species there would be far less doubt about these identifications.

With the advent of COI barcode libraries people no longer need to be taxonomic experts on the Ichneumonoidea. What were formerly clients of taxonomic services would be enabled to identify specimens themselves. COI barcodes do the job so much more simply. Why do so many persist on archaic morphological approaches for megadiverse genera such as Mesochorus, or, for that matter, simply the hundreds of thousands of small and cryptic tropical species of insects, irrespective of the species-richness of their genera?

Three: Mimicking Dasch’s approach, with all of its inherent weaknesses, for the species of Mesochorus treated here would take years, in contrast with the months it took by employing a primarily COI barcode approach. With approximately 1 % of Neotropical Ichneumonoidea described (Sharkey, Baker et al., 2021) there is a clear need for a faster approach for this taxon, and for other species-rich taxa.

Dasch did not include any species from Nicaragua and only one from Panama, however there were a few from Honduras and a number from Mexico. Some of these may also be included in our revision. Because Dasch’s key does not work we would have had to borrow all holotypes from Mesoamerica. Mexico itself has 68 described species of Mesochorus (Yu et al., 2016). In order to accomplish these comparisons, we would have to write our own morphological key to the 158 species and then make a minimum of 15 900 comparisons, i.e., compare 100 holotypes with the 158 new species. But there is more. We have a great deal of confidence in our species concepts due to COI data and, to a lesser degree, rearing data. Because of these data sources, we have accurately determined morphological variation within species. Thus, we would need to compare a sample of paratypes to all published holotypes as well. All of the above would take years of work for the sake of a few synonymies, nearly all of which may be resolved by barcoding the Dasch holotypes. Such a glacial approach greatly slows taxonomic progress, to say nothing of impeding the use of taxonomic inference by other sectors of society (e.g., Janzen et al., 2020).

Four: Unlike the agathidine braconids (Braconidae: Agathidinae) that we (MS) are accustomed to treating at the species level, sister-species of Mesochorus are sometimes remarkably alike morphologically. In the recent treatment of Costa Rican Alabagrus (Braconidae: Agathidinae) (Sharkey et al., 2018) there were three species that could not be differentiated morphologically and were included together in one couplet of the key. In the case of Mesochorus there are probably five or six species-pairs that cannot be differentiated morphologically by a hard-core taxonomist, and nearly all by lay persons. Without the degree of certainty that is associated with COI barcode data we would not feel comfortable using any of Dasch’s names. Most of the species treated here have associated biological data that includes host primary parasitoid, host caterpillar and host plant (see Supplemental file 1). If we treated one of the species described herein as belonging to one of Dasch’s species these biological data would be assigned to that species name. When and if someone has the desire, money, and authorization to barcode Dasch’s holotypes, it may be discovered that there are in fact two species and the reared species would have to be renamed. This would cause confusion since the biological data would forever be incorrectly associated with the Dasch species. Therefore, although we may create a few species to be synonymized, we feel that it is better to fail by splitting species rather than combining species under one questionable name.

Broad et al. (2018) summarized the biology of mesochorines, which roughly translates into the biology of Mesochorus. Their basic points are that species of Mesochorus are mostly koinobiont hyperparasitoids of endoparasitic Ichneumonoidea (Hymenoptera) and rarely Tachinidae (Diptera). They state that secondary hosts (hosts of their hosts) include larval Lepidoptera, Symphyta and Coleoptera. They also report nymphal and adult Hemiptera and Psocoptera as secondary hosts citing Waloff (1967) and Carlson (1979:703) respectively. Finally, they mention that ectoparasitic Ichneumonidae are also known to be parasitized citing Shaw (1993).

It is well documented that Mesochorus females deposit eggs directly into primary parasitoid larvae, e.g., Blunck (1944) and Yeargan and Braman (1989). We have numerous records in which more than 100 specimens were reared from a single caterpillar and for which none of the primary parasitoids survived. There are also rare cases in our rearings in which a very few primary parasitoids and other ichneumonid and chalcidoid hyperparasitoids eclose along with dozens or hundreds of specimens of Mesochorus. In cases where large numbers of Mesochorus emerge from one caterpillar, e.g., hundreds of specimens, the ovipositing Mesochorus may dump many eggs into the parasitized host to have the first instar larvae find the primary parasitoids. We state this simply on conjecture as we lack any direct evidence.

Of the 158 species treated here, 129 have host records. Two species have a tachinid larva as a primary host, nine species are exclusively on Ichneumonidae, 115 species are exclusively on Braconidae with a strong bias towards Microgastrinae, and nine species attack both ichneumonids and braconids. Most often multiple conspecific Mesochorus emerged from the host parasitoid cocoons from one caterpillar, one per cocoon, suggesting that many species select caterpillars attacked by gregarious primary parasitoids. All Ichneumonidae primary parasitoids that were attacked, resulted in the emergence from the caterpillar of a single primary parasitoid larvae that spun a cocoon, from which a single Mesochorus specimen emerged. This occurred even in the single event in which more than one ichneumonid primary parasitoid were in the host caterpillar (see data associated with Mesochorus unouno sp. nov.).

Mesochorus angustistigmatus (Dasch 1974) was reported to parasitize Microplitis espinachi Walker, 2003 and Microplitis figueresi Walker, 2003 from ACG-reared specimens (Janzen et al., 2003). It is difficult to ascertain the validity of the wasp species-level identification for this record because neither of the depositories was given, nor were there voucher codes for the specimens reared prior to barcoding. The holotype of M. angustistigmatus, is from Brazil and this would normally make the Costa Rican identification doubtful; however, both of the sphingid host caterpillars Erinnyis crameri (Schaus, 1898) and Erinnyis ello (Linnaeus, 1758) are widespread from the southern USA through Brazil. Two of our species were reared from these same Microplitis hosts, i.e., Mesochorus unocuatro and M. dosuno. Neither species fits the description of Mesochorus angustistigmatus given by Dasch (1974) or the redescription by Janzen et al. (2003).

Methods

Sharkey, Janzen et al. (2021) and Sharkey, Baker et al. (2021) present methods in great detail and these are summarized here. We started this revision by grouping our specimens into molecular unit trays based on their BIN placements (Ratnasingham & Hebert, 2013). One BIN (Barcode Index Number) = one molecular unit tray. The specimens in each tray were then investigated for general morphological consistency. This was followed by an inspection of a neighbor-joining (NJ) tree (not shown) that we generated on the BOLD (The Barcode of Life Data System) website (Ratnasingham & Hebert, 2007) using only those specimens with full or almost full barcodes, i.e., barcodes with more than 550 base pairs. We carefully examined the branching pattern of the specimens in each BIN. If there was any clumping or any outliers in the specimens within a BIN, we then looked at the rearing host data. We also looked at the morphology of the specimens, to see if they differed significantly and checked for concordance between these three data sources. In practice, all of these steps occur simultaneously with the NJ tree and the rearing database in hand. If these data sources were consistent with the hypothesis that any cluster of branches represents a separate species within the BIN, we considered this possibility based on the degree of difference in morphology, sequence divergence, and host use. We then built a new NJ tree that included shorter barcodes to place those specimens into species formulated in the previous step and to add new species that may not be represented by specimens with full barcodes (Supplemental Material 2 [SM2]). In this supplemental material we have highlighted the records of the holotypes in red. Finally, we looked at the morphology and host data of the nearest neighbors (if they were included in the manuscript) for each BIN that was less than 3 % (p-distance) divergent from that neighbor. This was done to try to ensure that we were not describing the same species twice. If the distance was greater than 3 %, we considered the COI difference sufficient to confirm separate species status. If these do not differ morphologically, we might consider them to be cases where a pair of BINs split a species. For each of the 27 species described here that have a nearest neighbor that is less than 3 % divergent we illustrated one or more morphological traits that can be used to distinguish them. In most of these cases convincing characters were found but in several cases the differences seemed trivial, but we (MS) decided to maintain species status. Species concepts are hypotheses, some strong and others weak. More collecting, rearing, and barcoding will enable us or others to test these hypotheses. In all cases in which the nearest neighbor is a species that is included in the manuscript we identified the neighbor and gave the p-distance. In cases where the nearest neighbor is not included in the manuscript no information is provided here but it is easily accessible from BOLD. These neighbors are undescribed and therefore it is not relevant at this time and for this publication whether or not they represent the same or a different species.

Some readers have had difficulty understanding how our consensus barcodes act as diagnostic characters. An analogy might help. Imagine a segmented organism similar to a millipede with variable numbers of legs on each segment. Each segment can be likened to a position on the COI barcode, and the number of legs on a segment is analogous to the base pair in a particular position on the COI barcode sequence. Morphologists will recognize that it would be possible to use a code like 0 1 4 3 2 to indicate the number of legs on each of the first five segments, with the understanding that the first number represents the number of legs on the first segment, the second number represents the number of legs on the second segment, etc. Two species of this imaginary genus could be differentiated as follows: Species A: 0 1 4 3 2. Species B: 0 1 5 3 2. Equally, the diagnosis could be more precise by stating only the differences, i.e., Species A: Four legs on segment three. Species B: Five legs on segment three. This latter approach was used by Meierotto et al. (2019), e.g., 72-75 GGGT, 163 G, 222-225 GGGG, 264 G. In either case the diagnostic will be little if ever used. To diagnose a species is to enable a user to identify it and this will be done by searching for matching and closely matching barcodes on BOLD.

Meier et al. (2021) criticized the minimalist approach, and a response to their criticisms was recently published (Sharkey et al., 2022). However, there is one criticism that we also address here. Meier et al., noted that a number of the species described in Sharkey, Janzen et al. (2021) had COI barcodes that coded for identical amino acids. Their conclusion was, ''These BINs have no known, functionally significant biological differences because the biology of these wasp ''species''is not at all affected by which triplet codons are used to code for identical proteins. Given that most biologists associate speciation with the origin of biologically meaningful differences, describing such BINs as species rests on the hope that the correlation between time of divergence and the origin of new species is strong enough that biologically meaningful differences will later be found. However, most biologists are rightfully skeptical of results based on correlations and we would argue that it would be healthy to adopt the same position here.''One could equally argue that the ratio between the lengths of the first and second flagellomeres (functions, if any, unknown), or most any other morphological character used to differentiate species, is simply the result of drift due to time of divergence. Nonetheless, to address this criticism, we produced a NJ tree based on barcode amino acids and identified all identical clusters that contained multiple species of Mesochorus. Just as with the nearest neighbors with divergences of less than 3 %, we include images that morphologically differentiate these species that the amino acids do not. Without exception, the proposed species that shared identical COI amino acids were different morphologically, and sometimes dramatically so (Fig. 4). In the case of Costa Rican species of Mesochorus, the BIN algorithm, as a measure of time of divergence, is a good estimator of species status.

Fig. 4 Images showing morphological differences between two species of Mesochorus whose slightly different COI barcodes generate identical amino acids, M. 127 (M. unodossiete) and M.139 (Mesochorus unotresnueve). Note the massive mandibles, relative to the width of the head, and smooth clypeus in M. 127 and compare with the normal mandible and punctate clypeus of M. 139.  

Here we include several standardized images of each holotype specimen and, if available, an image of a specimen of the opposite sex. We also include at the end of the publication a frontal image of the head of each species (SM3, Figs. S1-S27). The purpose of these images is to help users confirm the identifications that they arrived at using CO1 barcodes. Essentially, we expect that CO1 barcodes will be used to identify species; however, a check, for those fortunate enough to possess a quality microscope, will be to examine the images. The facial images at the end of this treatment are grouped because they offer perhaps the best diagnostic characters. The overall sculpture and color as well as the shape of the clypeus and mandibles may all be partly diagnostic. It is expected that, when someone barcodes a specimen of Mesochorus and has a hit on one of our species, they will examine these images to confirm their identification. This is a far better option than asking to borrow the holotype specimen which could be refused in many cases, e.g., taxonomists not affiliated with recognized institutions and those working in countries with unsecured postal services. In this revision the BINs all match the species concepts. With more intense sampling, a presumed ''species''may be found to be more than one, as sometimes is the case for COI barcodes. This is occasionally anticipated by 1 % or less difference between two clusters of barcodes within a BIN; these are also hints for a closer look at the ecology of the wasps, if such data are available.

The specific epithets for all the 158 new species here described correspond to various combinations of the Spanish numbers zero to nine, i.e., cero, uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho, and nueve.

Specimens and generic placements

All of the species described here were collected by rearing wild-caught host caterpillars in ACG in northwestern Costa Rica (Janzen & Hallwachs, 2016) or caught in Malaise traps in the same forests. Holotypes of all newly described species are deposited in the Canadian National Collection of Insects (CNC), Ottawa. Paratypes will be deposited in the Museo Nacional de Costa Rica in Santo Domingo de Heredia, and the Los Angeles County Museum as duplicates become available. All other specimens, including hundreds of paratypes in alcohol, will also be deposited at the CNC. Undescribed but yet different species, generally with only one damaged specimen per BIN, are also deposited in the CNC until they are described and augmented with newly collected conspecifics as they are collected by the ongoing inventory.

Some host species treated here are awaiting full identification and are given interim names. For example, Antaeotricha Janzen233 is identified to the genus Antaeotricha Zeller by classical morphology-based criteria and to Janzen233 by barcode and ecological information. However, no formal scientific species name will be available until a barcode-match is obtained with an existing holotype or until it is described as new, or interim matched morphologically with a described species by a taxonomic specialist. Equally, Antaeotricha radicalisEPR03 is also an interim name based on what the species looks like. However, the species interim epithet it is not a scientific name which is why it is not italicized. It temporarily retains the information that this species is recognized by similarity with its look-alike, A. radicalis, before barcoding the holotype and associating it with other ecological data. Finally, a name such as gelJanzen01 Janzen407 signifies a caterpillar in the family Gelechiidae for which even a generic name is not obtainable at present.

DNA extraction and sequencing

Molecular work was carried out at the Centre for Biodiversity Genomics (CBG) at the University of Guelph, using their standard protocols. A leg of each specimen was destructively sampled for DNA extraction using a glass fiber protocol (Ivanova et al., 2006). Extracted DNA was amplified for a 658-bp region near the 5’ terminus of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene using standard insect primers LepF1 (5’-ATTCAACCAATCATAAAGATATTGG-3’) and LepR1 (5’-TAAACTTCTGGATGTCCAAAAAATCA-3’) (Hebert et al., 2004). If initial amplification failed, additional amplifications were conducted following the established protocols using internal primer pairs: LepF1-C113R (130 bp) or LepF1-C_ANTMR1D (307 bp) and MLepF1-LepR1 (407 bp) to generate shorter overlapping sequences (Smith & Fisher, 2009). Amplified products were sequenced using Sanger technology, though the most recently barcoded were sequenced by SEQUEL II. Specimens that ''failed''barcoding are not included here unless otherwise indicated. When included, they are usually identified by unambiguous morphological and ecological information equally possessed by others from ACG in that species.

Barcode sequences presented in the species descriptions herein are a consensus of the barcode sequences of all included individuals, meaning base pairs that differ between conspecific specimens are replaced by IUPAC ambiguity codes, but individual-based barcodes for every specimen are permanently recorded and retained in BOLD, which is publicly available and maintained by the Centre for Biodiversity Genomics (CBG).

Voucher codes are presented here for all holotype specimens (and all other barcoded individuals) treated herein. All host caterpillars are individually vouchered to their individual records (yy-SRNP-xxxxx). Codes beginning with DHJPARxxxxxxx are for the parasitoid (or hyperparasitoid) specimens reared from the caterpillar; therefore, each wasp carries two voucher codes, one for the rearing (host) record and one for the wasp itself. A hyperparasitoid also carries the host caterpillar voucher code, but only the host caterpillar record retains the primary parasitoid data, if there are any. In other words, if there were survivors of the primary parasitoid as well as the hyperparasitoid, both records are in the total caterpillar voucher in the Janzen and Hallwachs database (http://janzen.sas.upenn.edu/caterpillars/database.lasso), updated copies of which are periodically deposited in the Lepidoptera division of the National Museum of Natural History in the Smithsonian Institution, and will eventually be publicly available not only through the University of Pennsylvania, but other web sites as well. Specimen voucher codes beginning with BIOUG are generated by the CBG and stored in BOLD (http://www.boldsystems.org), and most of the specimens obtained from ACG Malaise traps have this prefix. The DHJPAR and their associated SRNP codes can also be found on the BOLD database. The abundant collateral information obtainable from these two databases complements the species treatments. See Sharkey, Janzen et al. (2021) for a brief introduction to what to look for and how the two databases supplement the species treatments herein. Instructions on how to use BOLD to identify a specimen are given in Sharkey, Baker et al. (2021). GenBank and BOLD were both searched to ensure that none of the species described herein having matching barcodes with named species.

Included in supplementary documentation (Supplemental Material 1 [SM1]) is an excel spreadsheet with information on 814 Costa Rican Mesochorus specimens. The columns in the spreadsheet are as follows.

A. abb. (abbreviated) Species Name. A numerical representation of the species of Mesochorus, e.g., 1 = Mesochorus uno, 23 = Mesochorus dostres.

B. Species Name. The name of the species to which the specimen belongs, e.g., Mesochorus uno.

C. BOLD BIN. This is the BOLD (Barcode of Life Database) BIN code to which the specimen belonged in December 2021. BINs are described in Ratnasingham and Hebert (2013) and are not fixed entities. They can merge, split, and disappear, just as can classical unit trays, but more than 95 % remain static in our experience. The BIN code can be searched for on BOLD to find all records and should prove useful in the future as more Mesochorus specimens are added from Costa Rica and other Neotropical countries.

D. Hyper (Hyperparasitoid) Voucher. Mesochorus specimen voucher codes. These are of two types, DHJPAR and BIOUG. DHJPAR codes are voucher codes created for the Janzen database and almost all are reared (http://janzen.sas.upenn.edu/caterpillars/database.lasso). These can be entered in the aforementioned database, in the ''DHJPAR hyperparasite code''field, to obtain much of the same material that is in the current database, plus extra information such as images of host caterpillars and their adults, as explained in Sharkey, Janzen et al. (2021). Most specimens that were Malaise-trapped have BIOUG voucher codes. These are not currently available on the Janzen-Hallwachs database but are in BOLD. Both BIOUG and DHJPAR voucher codes also act as sample IDs on BOLD and can be used to search for associated information on BOLD (http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/MAS_Management_RecordSearch). Details of the type of information that can be found on BOLD are given in Sharkey, Janzen et al. (2021).

E. Sex. For all viewed specimens the sex is given, ''m''for male and ''f''for female.

F. Specimen Status. The categories include, ''holotype'', ''paratype'', ''EtOH''and ''not viewed''. EtOH refers to specimens that are still in vials and deposited in the Canadian National Collection. Not viewed, refers to specimens that are in BOLD but that have not yet crossed author Sharkey’s desk, since they go through the CBG processing before they arrive to Sharkey. Specimens that are ''not viewed''or ''EtOH''are not considered to be paratypes.

G-O. Country, Conservation Área, Province, Sector, Locality, Latitude, Longitude, Elevation (in meters), Collector.

P. Collection Tech. (Technique). There are two types of collecting techniques, rearing and Malaise trapping. The Malaise-trapped specimens are from ten different sites within ACG, representing the three major ecosystems (dry forest, cloud forest, rain forest) and various overlaps and intergrades among them.

Q. Hyper. (Hyperparasitoid) Eclos. (Eclosion) Date. This is in the counterintuitive format month/day/year and refers to the date on which a reared specimen eclosed (emerged from the host cocoon), rather than the date when the caterpillar containing the primary host parasitoid was collected, because emergence date represents when free-flying adults would likely be collected. For Malaise-trapped specimens this date refers to the date they were captured.

R. Cp. (Caterpillar) Collection Date. For reared Mesochorus specimens this refers to the date that the host caterpillar was collected. For Malaise-trapped specimens no entry is given because there is no caterpillar collection.

S. #(Number) Emerging. Multiple when more than one specimen emerged from the host caterpillar (but always one per wasp cocoon), single if one specimen emerged from the host caterpillar.

T. Caterpillar Voucher. These codes are for the Janzen-Hallwachs database rearing records. (http://janzen.sas.upenn.edu/caterpillars/database.lasso). These can be entered in the aforementioned database, in the ''VOUCHER CODE''field, to obtain much of the same material that is in the current database, plus extra information such as images of host caterpillars and their adults, as explained in Sharkey, Janzen et al. (2021) and, Sharkey, Baker et al. (2021)

U. Caterpillar Family. The family of the host caterpillar.

V. Caterpillar species. The species of the host caterpillar. (Names such as Nycterotis xylinoidesDHJ02 refer to an unnamed or unidentified species that is close to Nycterotis xylinoides). Names such as Antaeotricha Janzen221 are temporary placeholders for species that are not described or are not identifiable further than genus.)

W. Primary Parasitoid Species. The species of the host primary parasitoid (Names such as Alphomelon xestopygaDHJ05 refer to an unnamed or unidentified species of Microgastrinae that is close to Alphomelon xestopyga. Names such as Hypomicrogaster OVRGDHJ03 are temporary placeholders for species that are not described or are not identifiable further than genus and the interim species OVRGDH03.) There is no name if no primary parasitoids survived the hyperparasitoids, and the primary parasitoid cocoon was not identifiable by its morphology and host caterpillar (and therefore it has no barcode or BIN as well).

X. Primary Parasitoid Subfamily. The subfamily of the primary parasitoid.

Y. Primary Parasitoid Family. The family of the primary parasitoid.

Z. Primary Parasitoid Voucher. In approximately one third of the rearings, specimens of both Mesochorus and their primary parasitoids emerged. In these cases, the primary parasitoid was destroyed by the hyperparasitoid, but siblings survived. These vouchers refer to the siblings. The DHJPAR codes can be searched for on the Janzen-Hallwachs database under the ''DHJPAR parasite code''field and in BOLD they can be used as sample IDs.

AA. Food Plant Species. Names such as Orchidaceae 22039 are temporary identifiers for species that could not be fully identified.

AB. Food Plant Family. The family of the food plant.
