Holotype ♀ COSTA RICA, Puntarenas, Estación Agujas, LS 526550_ 276750, 300m, 10.iv-10.v.2001, malaise trap, J. Azofeifa ( NHMUK) .

Azofeifa ; 1♀ COSTA RICA, Puntarenas , Golfito , Parque Nacional Corcovado, Estación Agujas, Cerro Quebraditos, LS 521400_ 274300, 782m, ix.2000, malaise trap, J. Azofeifa ; 1♀ COSTA RICA, Puntarenas , Reserva Forestal Golfo Dulce, 300m N. Estación Agujas, LS 276750_ 526550, 300m, 20.xii.-20.i 2002, malaise trap, J. Azofeifa ; 2♀ labelled ”89-JAA” but without further information (“JAA” is an abbreviation for J.A. Azofeifa ( Tonio ), one of the parataxonomists at INBio, so the material is with all probability from Costa Rica and from the Osa Peninsula where Tonio was stationed, and where the other type specimens were collected, but more information has not been possible to retrieve) .

Etymology. From the Latin capillosus = hairy, referring to the hairy midlobe of mesoscutum and mesoscutellum.
