Etymology.
The specific epithet refers to the country of occurrence,
Costa Rica
.
Diagnosis.
This species differs from other congeners by the following combination of characters: pronotum and elytra different in color; pronotum with dark reddish brown longitudinal maculation at middle, possessing two vague lateral markings on each side of the maculation; antennal segment XI with one oval antennal sensilla; pro- and mesotarsal segments II and III of males moderately dilated; apical margin of tegmen truncate, shallowly emarginate at middle in ventral view; median lobe subparallel-sided at basal 1/3, then moderately converging anteriorly in ventral view; median lobe in ventral view subparallel-sided at basal 1/3, then moderately converging anteriorly; apical margin of median lobe widely rounded in ventral view; apex of long, slender gonocoxites deeply incised, somewhat swollen at apices.
Similar Species.
This new species is similar to
C. maculatus
, in having one antennal sensilla and similar shape of body maculation and male genitalia, but can be distinguished by the following combination of characters: abdominal tergite VII and venter without maculation, apex of ovipositor more deeply incised and swollen apically. It is also similar to
C
.
monticola
, in having similar body maculation and shape of male genitalia, but can be distinguished by the following combination of characters: antennal segment XI with one oval antennal sensilla; gonocoxites somewhat swollen at apices.
Description.
Length 1.92–2.32 (2.10) mm, width 1.47–1.80 (1.65) mm, depth 0.93–1.10 (1.00) mm (
n
= 5).
Male.
Body (
Fig. 1J
) oval; dorsal disc of head and antennal club dark brown except apical areas of head and club paler; antennal segments I–VIII and venter reddish yellow; pronotum reddish yellow, with dark brown longitudinal maculation at midline, possessing 2 vague lateral markings; scutellum and elytra reddish brown.
Head:
Dorsal disc possessing sparse, minute punctures; interspaces reticulate. Labrum feebly notched at middle. Antenna (
Fig. 7C
) with club long and large, ACL/ASI-VIII = 0.74 (
n
= 1); antennal segment XI with an oval antennal sensilla; approximate ratio of each segment (
n
= 1) 3.13: 2.10: 2.05: 1.57: 1.71: 1.15: 1.13: 1.00: 3.23: 2.86: 4.21.
Pronotum:
2.99–3.48 (3.28) times as wide as long (
n
= 5); disc possessing sparse, minute punctures; interspaces reticulate.
Scutellum:
Disc possessing few minute punctures; interspaces reticulate.
Elytra:
0.98–1.06 (1.02) times as long as wide (
n
= 5), 3.61–4.44 (4.00) times as long as pronotum (
n
= 5), widest at basal 1/3; each elytron with 9 regular rows of deep, large punctures; interstices without punctures or with few minute punctures.
Venter:
Prosternum feebly convex along midline. Metaventrite strongly convex. Abdominal sternite III without subcoxal lines.
Legs:
Slender; pro- and mesotarsal segments I to III moderately dilated; tarsal claws simple.
Genitalia:
Tegmen (
Fig. 7A
) constricted at middle, then moderately convergent apically in ventral view; TL/TW = 1.71 (
n
= 1); apical and lateral margins of tegmen strongly undulating in ventral view; apical margin of tegmen truncate, shallowly emarginate at middle in ventral view; median lobe (
Fig. 7B
) subparallelsided at basal 1/3, then moderately converging anteriorly in ventral view; apical margin of median lobe widely rounded; sclerites of internal sac as in
Fig. 7B
.
Female.
Pro- and mesotarsal segments I–III more weakly dilated than those of males. Ovipositor (
Fig. 7D
) with long, slender gonocoxites deeply incised at apex and slightly swollen.
