Type locality. Costa Rica, Alajuela Prov. Area de Conservacion Guanacaste, Sector Santa Rosa, Sendero Natural , 10.836 ° N, 85.613 ° W, 290 m. GoogleMaps

Diagnosis. The species may be differentiated from other members of the Astraptes fulgerator complex by the following combination of character states of the DNA barcode: 52T; 202A.

Holotype. Voucher 95-SRNP-8046 , deposited at the University of Pennsylvania.

Note: This species corresponds to the OTU ‘BYTTNER’ of Hebert et al. (2004).

Etymology. The name boreas , a masculine noun in apposition, is the personification of ‘the North Wind’. The species name alludes to the enthusiastic advocacy of DNA barcoding by Paul Hebert and his Canadian colleagues.
