Type material. Male holotype from Costa Rica, La Heredia, La Selva Biol. Sta., 13.iii.1987, D.M. Olson ( MCZ 71157 About MCZ ). Paratype: COSTA RICA: J, La Heredia, La Selva (near Puerto Viejo), IV. 1986, W. Eberhard ( MCZ 71139 About MCZ ) .

Etymology. The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality, La Heredia in Costa Rica.

Diagnosis. Males most resemble B. panamanus but are distinguished by the combination of the following combination characters: tibiae I with 4–5 ventral spines ( Fig. 2D View FIGURE 2 ); eyes on mound ( Fig. 2C View FIGURE 2 ); palpal bulb round and embolus tip strongly curved apically ( Fig. 3C–E View FIGURE 3 ). Whereas B. panamanus has two ventral spines on tibiae I ( Fig. 7D View FIGURE 7 ); eyes not on prominent mound ( Fig. 7C View FIGURE 7 ); palpal bulb thinner and tip sinuous ( Fig. 8C–E View FIGURE 8 ).

Coxae I–II without inner short stiff setae. Metatarsi I–II with half scopulae ( Fig. 2D View FIGURE 2 ); tarsi I–II with thick complete scopulae ( Fig. 2D View FIGURE 2 ); III–IV without scopulae.
