( Figures 3 View FIGURES 1 – 12 , 15 View FIGURES 13 – 22 , 40–44 View FIGURES 40 – 49 , 50 View FIGURE 50 , Table 1)

Diagnosis. Recognized by the following set of features: head yellow ( Fig. 3 View FIGURES 1 – 12 ); antennal segment II dirty yellowish brown, with yellow apical one third ( Fig. 3 View FIGURES 1 – 12 ); pronotum and hemelytron entirely dark brown except for contrastingly yellow pronotal collar and yellow patch contiguous with medial part of pronotal collar ( Fig. 3 View FIGURES 1 – 12 ); endosoma with ML small, ovoid ( Fig. 40 View FIGURES 40 – 49 ); LS small, distinctly curved ( Fig. 40 View FIGURES 40 – 49 ); MS situated subapically, thin, almost entirely cylindrical, apex sharpened ( Fig. 40 View FIGURES 40 – 49 ); AS rounded, hood-like ( Fig. 40 View FIGURES 40 – 49 ).

C. cucullatus is most similar to C. costaricaensis , C. funebris , C. pilosus , and C. plectipennis in sharing hemelytron without any pale patches ( Figs. 3, 5, 9 View FIGURES 1 – 12 ). This new species together with C. costaricaensis , C. pilosus , and C. plectipennis shares endosoma with at least two sclerites and relatively long DSS ( Figs. 28 View FIGURES 23 – 32 , 62, 67 View FIGURES 62 – 71 ). With C. pilosus and C. plectipennis it shares the endosomal apical sclerite ( AS) ( Fig. 62, 67 View FIGURES 62 – 71 ). With C. funebris the present new species shares broad, yellow patch in the middle of pronotal collar ( Fig. 3, 5 View FIGURES 1 – 12 ). C. cucullatus is distinguished however, by the head coloration ( Fig. 3 View FIGURES 1 – 12 ) and the shape of the endosoma ( Fig. 40 View FIGURES 40 – 49 ).

Description. Male. COLORATION ( Figs. 3 View FIGURES 1 – 12 , 15 View FIGURES 13 – 22 ). Dorsum dark brown with blackish areas. Head. Vertex yellow; remainder of head somewhat darker, dirty yellowish brown; antennal segments I and II dirty yellowish brown except for contrastingly pale, yellow apical one third of segment II; segments III and IV fuscous; extreme apex of antennal segment IV yellow; labium mostly yellow with darkened, pale fuscous apical portion of segment III and entire segment IV. Thorax. Pronotum. Almost entirely dark brown; pronotal collar contrastingly yellow, dark brown laterally; surface between anterior parts of calli with yellow, rather small patch contiguous with pronotal collar. Thoracic pleura. Dark brown; scent gland efferent system contrastingly yellow. Hemelytron. Without any pale patches; membrane fuscous, with external half of major cell vein yellow. Legs. Coxae yellow; procoxa somewhat darkened apically; mesofemur yellow, broadly tinged with red laterally; metatibia and metatarsus dirty yellowish. Abdomen. Dark brownish. STRUCTURE, TEXTURE, AND VESTITURE ( Figs. 3 View FIGURES 1 – 12 , 15 View FIGURES 13 – 22 ). Head. Antennal segment I narrowed at basal one third, remainder of segment I cylindrical, covered with moderately dense, semirecumbent setae; antennal segment II thickened toward apex, basal half of segment II covered with setae similar to those present on segment I, apical half with setae denser; segments III and IV thin, covered with long, protruding setae; labium reaching middle of abdomen. Thorax. Pronotum. Covered with deep and dense punctation. Mesoscutum and scutellum. Scutellum moderately convex, smooth. Thoracic pleura. Covered with relatively dense setae; proepimeron distinctly punctate; remaining pleura smooth. Hemelytron. Row of punctures along vein R+M reaching half of corium; row of punctures along medial fracture reaching beyond half of corium; clavus with row of punctures almost reaching its apex.

Male genitalia. Aedeagus ( Fig. 40 View FIGURES 40 – 49 ). Endosoma with DSS longer than its length, distinctly curved medially, broadened apically; ML small, ovoid, situated near DSS; LS rather small, distinctly curved; MS situated subapically, nearly cylindrical, sharpened apically; AS relatively small, hood-like, covering apical one third of MS. Right paramere ( Figs. 41–42 View FIGURES 40 – 49 ). Paramere body: inner margin distinctly sinuate in lateral view; apical process: lateral view: straight with moderately sharpened extreme apex; dorsal view: rounded at extreme apex, medial process large, rounded, left lateral margin distinctly sinuate. Left paramere ( Figs. 43–44 View FIGURES 40 – 49 ). Paramere body: strongly broadened; apical process: lateral view: straight; dorsal view: dorsal margin distinctly curved; subapical incision distinct.

Measurements. Holotype ♂: Body. Length 3.4, width 1.5. Head. Length 0.53, width 0.85, interocular distance 0.35. Antenna. Length of segment I 0.4, II 1.1, III 0.55, IV 0.8. Labium. Length of segment I 0.3 (remaining segments immeasurable in the examined specimen). Pronotum. Length 0.8, width of anterior margin 0.65, length of lateral margin 0.65, width of posterior margin 1.35.

Female. Unknown.

Etymology. The specific name is taken from the Latin “cucullus” meaning hood and refers to the hood-like shape of the apical sclerite ( AS) of the endosoma.

Biology. Unknown.

Distribution. Costa Rica (Heredia) ( Fig. 50 View FIGURE 50 ).

Type material. Holotype ♂: COSTA RICA: Heredia: La Selva Field Sta. near Puerto Viejo, 21–28 March 1988; W. E. Steiner, J. M. Hill, J. M. Swearingen; J. M. Mitchell (USNM) ( Figs. 3 View FIGURES 1 – 12 , 15 View FIGURES 13 – 22 ).
