Peridinetus notabilis Prena , sp. n. ( Fig. 13, 14 ) Peridinetus rugipes . Faust [manuscript name]. Peridinetus sp. 7. Marquis (1991: 181) . Diagnosis. Because of the relatively wide pronotum and slightly protruding humeri, P. notabilis has a conspicuous ovate shape ( Fig. 13 ) that is shared in the study area only by P. p i c t u s ( Fig. 15 ). The yellow elytral mark is separated in the middle and transverse, but continuous and subspherical in P. pictus . Description. Total length 4.8–6.1 mm , standard length 4.6–5.8 mm . Integument black; vestiture of elongate setae dense, yellow in large macula on pronotal flank and in elytral fascia, black elsewhere ( Fig. 13 ). Rostrum 0.93–1.10 × length of pronotum, anteantennal portion 0.45–0.50 (male) and 0.49–0.55 × (female) length of rostrum. Pronotum 0.71–0.74 × longer than wide, greatest width near base, then gradually rounded and tubulate in front; disk finely punctate, indistinctly costate. Elytra 1.39–1.43 × longer than wide, humeri 1.18–1.25 × wider than pronotum, sides curved gently; striae subtle, interstriae not ridged, preapical callus inconspicuous; tarsal claws subconnate, male protarsi laterally with long setae. Distribution. This species has been found on the Caribbean side of the Cordillera Central in Costa Rica . Plant association.
