Zadbimyia carolinae sp. n. Fig. 14 A–C Diagnosis. A combination of genital characters is specific to Z. carolinae as follows: the gonocoxites have a shallow, broadly rounded emargination (Fig. 14 A); the ejaculatory apodeme ends in a membranous cap (Fig. 14 C); and the paramere processes are multi-pointed (Fig. 14 C). See Z. marcoi for another species with multi-pointed paramere processes (Fig. 15 B). Other male characters. Body length 1.8 mm. Head. Eye strongly narrowed ventrally, eye bridge 10–11 ommatidia long dorsally. Scape twice as long as pedicel. With 20 flagellomeres. Fourth flagellomere (Fig. 14 B): neck as long as node, with microtrichia basally. Maxillary protuberance prolonged. Palpus 3-segmented. Terminalia. Gonocoxites (Fig. 14 A): ventral emargination densely setose, membranous at base. Gonostylus curved on apical half, excavated dorsomedially, narrowly rounded apically (Fig. 14 A). Ejaculatory apodeme longer than parameres (Fig. 14 C). Parameres subtrapezoid, with wide apodemes, apicomedial portion twice as long as wide (Fig. 14 C). Etymology. This species is named after Carolina Avila, an INBio-trained parataxonomist whose various duties within ZADBI include the management of both the project’s laboratory and database. Holotype.
