Ecliptoides vandenberghei Wappes & Santos-Silva, 2017: 13 .

Remarks. This species was described and remains known only from Nicaragua and Costa Rica ( Monné 2024a; Tavakilian & Chevillotte 2025). This species shows marked chromatic variation on the head, thorax, and abdomen. Only two other species of this genus are currently recorded from Central America: Ecliptoides monostigma (Bates, 1869) and E. pusillus (Gounelle, 1911) . It differs from both primarily by having longer elytra.
