Costarina mooreorum , new species ( Figures 395–405)

TYPES: Male holotype and female allotype from humus taken in a cacao/cordia/banana parcel on the farm of Alberto Moore at Hone Creek, Limón, Costa Rica (Oct. 21–23, 2005; C. Víquez), deposited in INBIO (1918, PBI_ OON 27689 ) .

ETYMOLOGY: T he specific name is a patronym in honor of the Moore family, in recognition of their long-term support of a cacao spider project.

DIAGNOSIS: Males resemble those of C. nara (cf. figs. 177–187) and C. pity (cf. figs. 373– 383) but have a narrower tip on the distal embolar prong (figs. 395–400); females have fully fused ventral scuta and a long genital atrium with a sinuous posterior margin and sinuous posterior genitalic elements (figs. 404, 405).

MALE (PBI_ OON 27689 , figs. 395–400): Total length 1.95. Endite ventral process relatively short, wide; dorsal process with hooked, medially directed tip. Femur II p0-0-1, r0-1-0; metatarsus I v2-2-2. Embolus proximal prong narrow, tip directed dorsally; distal prong sinuous, with relatively narrow tip (N = 9).

FEMALE (PBI_ OON 27689 , figs. 401–405): Total length 2.02. Spination typical. Genital atrium relatively long, posterior margin sinuous (N = 4).
