Treatment

Costarina quepos View in CoL , new species ( Figures 199–209 View FIGURES 199–209 )

TYPES: Male holotype, female allotype, and one female and two male paratypes from a mini-Winkler sample taken in the Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio, Quepos, Puntarenas, Costa Rica (May 24–31, 2010; M. Solis), deposited in INBIO (PBI_OON 51271) .

DIAGNOSIS: Males of this dark-bodied species can easily be recognized by the rounded retrolateral portion of the distal embolar prong, which has a long, narrow prolateral tip (figs. 199–204), females by the angular anterior margin of the genital atrium (figs. 208, 209).

MALE (PBI_OON 51271, figs. 199–204): Total length 1.65. Endite ventral process relatively small, apically narrow; dorsal process long, distally arched. Femur I r0-1-0. Embolus proximal prong narrow; distal prong with rounded retrolateral portion and long, narrow prolateral prolongation (N = 3).

FEMALE (PBI_OON 51271, figs. 205–209): Total length 1.92. Tibia I v4-4- 1p. Genital atrium with angular, recurved anterior margin (N = 3).

DISTRIBUTION: Central Puntarenas.
