Scaphytopius cientosetenta Arias-Paco & Godoy, sp. nov.

(Figs. 2I–O, 9D, 10D, 11G, 12G, 13G)

Description. Length of male 3.95–4.05 mm. General appearance light brown. Crown 1.8 x longer than basal width between eyes, pale brown with thin longitudinal black line in center, extending from base to 2/3 of crown length; two longitudinal orange-brown spots at apex of crown and two spots of same color between eyes (Fig. 2I). Face entirely orange-brown; apex of frontoclypeus with two pale transverse bands forming inverted V; with 2 short pale transverse lines toward sides of frontoclypeus (Fig. 2K). Forewings light brown with short longitudinal dark brown spots widely distributed; discal cell with dark brown longitudinal spot; in apical area with few faint round white spots (fewer than 6) (Fig. 2J), with 8 veinlets; veins dark brown. Legs pale with black bands on tibiae and tarsi.

Male genitalia. Pygofer in lateral view triangular with rounded apex; multiple macrosetae at apex (Fig. 9D). Subgenital plate triangular, wider at base than apex, without macrosetae (Fig. 10D). Connective U-shaped. Style in ventral view with apophysis long, robust, and rounded at apex; with very narrow space between preapical lobe and apophysis (Fig. 2L). Paraphyses fused at base, diverging early, long and thin with pointed apex (Fig. 2L), in lateral view strongly curved downward (Fig. 2N). Aedeagus in lateral view very short, L-shaped; preatrium absent; dorsal apodeme shorter than shaft, straight and wide (Fig. 2M); shaft straight and tubular, with very small notch before reaching apex, and slightly pointed apex (Fig. 2M). In apical view, shaft strongly tubular, with broad and evident gonopore (Fig. 2O), that opens in cone-like shape at apex (Fig. 2M). Gonopore apical.

Diagnosis. This species is easily distinguished from S. dilatus, by the following features: Space between style preapical lobe and apophysis relatively narrow (Fig. 2L); dorsal apodeme of aedeagus shorter than shaft (Fig. 2M); shaft without small dorsal preapical tooth (Fig. 2M).

Distribution. Costa Rica.

Biology. Collected from Vitex cooperi ( Lamiaceae), Tapirira guianensis ( Anacardiaceae), Virola koschnyi ( Myristicaceae), Goethalsia meiantha ( Malvaceae), Carapa guianensis ( Meliaceae).
