( Figs 48–51 , 57 , 85 ) Diagnosis. Frons with upper-median part with a single pointed “horn” ( Fig. 48 ); vertex with a complete median groove and with a groove delimiting posterior part of ocellar triangle ( Fig. 51 ); scutellum with a deep and distinct median groove in anterior 2/3 ( Fig. 49 ); propodeum with a median carina in anterior ½ ( Fig. 50 ); hind coxa conspicuously hairy on posterior surface; petiole 1.4X as long as wide and reticulate with small meshes, hence dull ( Fig. 50 ); first gastral tergite shiny and large, covering 2/3 length of gaster. Similar to C. leios and C. petiolatum , but differing from both in having a single horn medially on the upper part of frons. Description. FEMALE. Length 1.4–1.6 mm. Scape white, remaining antenna dark brown. Frons metallic dark purple. Vertex metallic greenish-blue. Mesoscutum metallic greenish-blue. Scutellum with smooth anterior part metallic greenish-blue, reticulate posterior part metallic dark purple. Propodeum metallic greenish-blue. Coxae dark and metallic; femora, tibiae and tarsi white. Wings hyaline. Petiole metallic dark purple. Gaster with first tergite metallic greenish-blue in anterior ¾, and posterior ¼ and remaining tergites metallic dark purple. Antenna as in Fig. 85 . Frons smooth and shiny ( Fig. 48 ); upper-median part with a pointed “horn”; lower part of frons close to mouth opening drawn out, and with mandibles pointing downwards; frontal suture incomplete, terminating at a distance equal to diameter of torulus from each eye margin; antennal scrobes uniting on frontal suture; tentorial pits missing ( Fig. 48 ). Vertex smooth and shiny ( Fig. 51 ), with a complete median groove between occipital margin and anterior ocellus. FIGURES 48–51. Cornugon unicornis sp. nov. , female. 48. Head frontal. 49.

Scutellum with anterior 2/3 smooth and shiny with distinct median groove, posterior 1/3 with raised, strong reticulation ( Fig. 49 ); anteromedian part protruding into posteromedian mesoscutum and with a quadrangular pit in front of protrusion. Dorsellum hidden under scutellum, not visible in dorsal view ( Fig. 49 ). Propodeum smooth and shiny, with a median carina in anterior ½ and with complete plicae ( Fig. 50 ). FIGURES 58–63.

Holotype female ( INBio ) labelled " Costa Rica , Heredia, Santo Domingo , INBio-Parque, iii.2002 , J.S. Noyes & J.A. Azofeifa". Paratypes . 2Ƥ on cards. COSTA RICA . Heredia : with same label data as holotype ( BMNH , MIUCR ). Etymology. Named referring to the single hornlike protrusion on median frons, from the Latin unus = one, and cornu = horn. Distribution.
