Manota corcovado Jaschhof & Hippa, 2005

Studied material.

COSTA RICA. 1 male, San Isidro de las Peñas Blancas, Texas A&M Soltis Center, Sweeping, 420 m, 10°23'00"N, 84°36'58"W, 13-18.viii.2010, D. Ament col. (on slide, MNCR).

Remarks.

The terminalia of the specimen studied here slightly differs from those figured by Jaschhof and Hippa (2005: fig. 16): three internal megasetae on the gonocoxa subapically (= position IV by Jaschhof and Hippa 2005) are more smoothly outlined, the gonostylus is slightly wider and the apical re-curved seta on gonostylus is pointed instead of being blunt. These differences are here considered to be within intraspecific variation or are differently exposed due to different position at the slide-mounting. The large posterolateral lobes of the gonocoxa, the number and arrangement of megasetae at ventromedial margin of the gonocoxa, the shape of juxtagonostylar megasetae and sternite 9 are identical to the specimens of the original description of M. corcovado . The species was earlier known only from Costa Rica ( Jaschhof and Hippa 2005).
