Rasahus costaricensis
Coscarón
& Maldonado, 1988
Coscarón & Maldonado (1988)
described this species from
Costa Rica
, but did not explicitly describe the color pattern, providing only a gray habitus drawing. Therefore, a color figure of an adult and a nymph is provided here (
Figs. 51
,
52
). From the specimens examined here it is evident that some variation in color intensity can occur, as some can be paler or darker. The specimens listed below are a new record from
Colombia
and also from continental South
America
. This species seems to be distributed widely in this country.
