Costarina san , new species ( Figures 268–278 )

TYPES: Male holotype, female allotype, and two male and two female paratypes from cloudforest litter taken at an elevation of 1800 m at km 117 on the Inter-American Highway , 19 km north of San Isidro , 9°28′N, 83°42′20″W, San José , Costa Rica (Feb. 15, 1998; R.

DIAGNOSIS: Males can be distinguished by the relatively large, rectangular proximal embolar prong and the wide, short, distally directed distal prong (figs. 268–273), females by the very small genital atrium and the rounded paramedian lobes on the posterior genitalic elements (figs. 277, 278).
