Diagnosis. Peridinetus coccineifrons is one of numerous species with red anterior and khaki posterior vestiture ( Fig. 46 View FIGURES 46 – 49 ). It differs from similarly colored species by having median ridges on the apical one-third of the elytral interstriae but none on the anterior portion of interstria 7. The studied specimens were 4.4–6.4 mm long (standard length 4.2–6.2 mm) and on average larger than the similar P. rufotorquatus .

Distribution. This species has been found in Costa Rica and Panama on both sides of Cordilleras.
