Abstract

We describe five new species in the genus Vibrissina Rondani from Area de Conservación Guanacaste (ACG). All species were reared from wild-caught sawfly larvae (Hymenoptera: Symphyta: Argidae and Tenthredinidae). We provide a morphological description of each species together with information on life history, molecular data, and photographic documentation.<br> Five new species of Vibrissina Rondani: Vibrissina randycurtisisp. n., V. randyjonesisp. n., V. robertwellsisp. n., V. danmartinisp. n., V. hallwachsorumsp. n.
