Cobelura inornata sp. nov.

( Fig. 2 )

Description. Female. Integument pitchy, antennae and legs brownish yellow. Pubescence of the dorsal surface uniformly light gray, epipleura slightly yellowish; ventral surface covered with grayish pubescence.

Lower eye lobes 4 times height of genae; upper eye lobes well separated, distance between them 1.5 times width of upper lobe. Antennae surpassing elytral apices by about one antennomere, scape not dilated at apical extremity.

Prothorax unarmed; punctuation of pronotum restricted to one apical and one basal row of punctures. Prosternal process narrowed in middle, width equal to half that of procoxal cavity. Mesosternal process 2.0 times wider than a mesocoxal cavity. Scutellum broadly rounded behind, pitchy. Elytra subparallel from base to apex, extremities emarginate, outer angle projected in acute spine. Elytral surface with sparse punctures; covered with gray pubescence, except narrow yellow band at epipleura. Legs stout, femora moderately clavate. Metatarsomere I as long as II–III together.

Apex of urotergite V truncated; urosternite V narrowing to extremity, distal margin rounded.

Measurements (mm), female. Total length, 13.5; prothorax length, 1.8; prothorax width, 3.0; elytral length, 10.8; humeral width, 4.5.

Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the absence of ornamentation on the dorsal surface.

Type material. Holotype. Female, Costa Rica, Puntarenas: Monteverde , 4–9.I.1989, F. T. Hovore leg. ( CASC).

Comments. The uniform color of the integument and the unicolored pubescence of the dorsal surface allow us to recognize C. inornata sp. nov. ( Fig. 2 ).
