Description. Male holotype. Length 2.4 mm, width 1.9 mm; body oval, somewhat rounded, elytron with side rounded, wider than pronotal base, widest at middle of elytra. Dorsal surface entirely shiny. Color yellowish red; head greenish black, apical ½ yellow ( Fig. 604 View Figures 591–607 ); pronotum greenish black, lateral 1/ 5 brown; elytron with apical 1/10 obscurely darkened, lateral reflexed border yellow ( Fig. 602 View Figures 591–607 ); antenna, mouthparts, epipleuron, legs yellow; abdomen yellow. Head punctures small, separated by a diameter or less; pronotal punctures as large as on head, separated by a diameter or less; elytral punctures larger than on pronotum, separated by less than twice a diameter; prosternal, mesosternal punctures large, separated by about a diameter; metasternal punctures as large as on mesosternum, separated by less than a diameter except more widely spaced medially; abdomen with punctures on ventrites 1–3 large, separated by less than twice a diameter, punctures on remaining ventrites smaller, separated by about a diameter. Head with frons not widened from vertex to clypeus, lateral margins parallel, 1.4 times width of eye measured at vertex; eye canthus short; apical maxillary palpomere short, widened from base to apex. Pronotum widest at middle, reflexed lateral margin wide, widest in anterior 1/3. Epipleuron nearly flat, wide in basal ½, as wide as pronotal hypomeron, with feeble depressions for reception of femoral apices. Prosternum slightly longer than wide, longer than mesosternum, base strongly arcuate medially, lateral carina slender, extended anterior to apex of procoxa. Postcoxal line on ventrite 1 long, slightly angulate, extended 2/3 distance to apex of ventrite ( Fig. 603 View Figures 591–607 ). Apex of ventrite 5 arcuate. Genitalia with slender phallobase, basal lobe longer than paramere, slender, narrowed from base to acute apex; paramere short, widest at middle, abruptly narrowed to abruptly rounded apex in apical ½, without marginal serrations ( Fig. 605, 606 View Figures 591–607 ); sipho long, robust ( Fig. 607 View Figures 591–607 ).

Type material. Holotype male; COSTA RICA: Heredia, Est. Biol. La Selva, 50–150m 10 o 26'N 84 o 01'W, Prov. ALAS, INBio–OET, FT/46/01–40, Eugena sp., 05 Enero 2000. ( USNM). GoogleMaps
Remarks. One of several species with dorsal coloration similar to P. chiriquensis . Prodilis maryann is distinguished from those species by a nearly total lack of dark coloration on the elytral apex. See key to species.
