Lophotettix zumbadoi Barranco, 2010 (22) (Museo de Insectos de la Universidad Central de Costa Rica) [general description], female holotype; Type locality: “Central America, Costa Rica, Reserva Biológica Alberto Manuel Brenes, San Ramón, Alajuela ”.

Additional information in description (Female Holotype, Fig. 6): Facial carina and conspicuous frontal costa bifurcation visible; infrascapular area narrow, femur robust and with small lappets throughout dorsal and external margins.

Comparative notes. The most recently described species L. zumbadoi shares with L. brevicristatus the rounded shape of pronotum and can be easily differentiated by the direction of pronotum which in L. zumbadoi has the median carina crest directed backwards and L. brevicristatus has the median carina crest directed forwards (Fig. 7). L. alticristatus, L. hancocki and L. unicristatus have a crest directed forwards and can also be distinguished from L. zumbadoi and L. brevicristatus by the almost subquadrate shape of the pronotum crest (Fig. 7).
