Type material: Holotype: ♀, Palo Verde, Bagaces [10°31’N, 85°15’W], Guanacaste, Costa Rica, 16−22 January 1978, W. Eberhard leg. ( MCZ 61557).
Etymology. The specific name is a noun in apposition and refers to the type locality.
Diagnosis. Females of C. bagaces sp. nov. resemble those of C. catarinas sp. nov. by the epigyne with median septum with lateral projections resembling a pair of ears (Figs 23, 25: msp). They are easily distinguished by the median septum with strong median indentation, reaching almost half the septum length, and by the posterior margin surpassing the epigastric furrow by almost half the septum length (Fig. 23). Males are unknown.
Description. Female: Prosoma orange, slightly darker at eye area, along fovea and thoracic striae. Chelicerae slightly darker than prosoma. Legs and pedipalps orange. Sternum pale orange with slightly darker margins. Labium and endites pale orange, distally cream colored. Opisthosoma pale yellow, sparsely mottled with brown spots. Total length 15.5. Prosoma: 5.4 long, 5.8 wide. Opisthosoma: 9.5 long, 6.4 wide. Eyes: diameters: 0.40, 0.34, 0.26, 0.30; interdistances: 0.40, 0.20, 0.50, 0.60, 0.36, 0.30. Legs (2143): I: 27.3 (7.6, 3.0, 7.2, 7.5, 2.0); II: 30.1 (8.5, 3.1, 8.1, 8.3, 2.1); III: 20.0 (6.2, 2.5, 5.0, 4.8, 1.5); IV: 23.9 (7.2, 2.8, 6.0, 6.4, 1.5). Epigyne: epigynal field semi-circled, wider than long. Median septum slightly wider than long (Fig. 23). Vulva: copulatory ducts as long as or slightly longer than spermathecae. Spermathecae small and irregular-shaped. Basal part of fertilization ducts slender, no more than one-third copulatory duct width, relatively straight, distal part laterad (Fig. 24).
Male: Unknown.
Distribution. Only known from the type locality in the state of Guanacaste, Costa Rica (Map 1).
