Overview
Ametadoria mauriciogurdiani is a species of tachinid fly described by Fleming and Wood in 2015. The species was identified from specimens collected in the Area de Conservación Guanacaste (ACG) in Costa Rica [2]. The formal description of this species is supported by a combination of morphological, life history, and molecular data [2].
Ecology and Life History
Like other species within the genus Ametadoria described in the same study, A. mauriciogurdiani has been reared from wild-caught caterpillars. Specifically, these hosts belong to the families Zygaenidae and Lacturidae [2].
Visual Description
Morphological observations of Ametadoria mauriciogurdiani are documented in the literature [2]. While digital records exist for this species in the TreeOfLife-200M dataset [1], specific morphological traits could not be independently verified from the available image source due to access restrictions.
