( Figs. 54–56 )

Daidalotarsonemus ginae Rezende et al., 2015b: 469 . Diagnosis. Female: Gnathosoma : Palpal length about 1/4 length of gnathosoma. Dorsum: Weakly Reticulate ornamentation on prodorsum, tergites C and D. Tergite C with three central transverse rows of well-defined cells, grouped between setae c1, and same number of cells per row (four). Tergite D with cells between setae d. Setae v1, c2 and h unmodified in shape. Setae v1 shorter than sc2 (~ 30 and ~ 55, respectively). Setae c2 around two times longer than h (~ 22 and ~ 11, respectively). Setae sc2, c1, d, e and f leaf-shaped. Setae sc2 linear-lanceolate in shape, longer than any other pair of setae (~ 55). Setae c1 around two times longer than c2 (~ 45) and inserted near midlength of tergite C. Setae d and f identical and shape (ensiform with two lateral veins), width (~ 5), but different in length (~ 45 and ~ 40, respectively). Setae e elliptical in shape, shorter than d, f and h (~ 12). Setae f ~8 distant from each other, on rounded tubercles. Venter: Tegula truncate. Apodemes distinct, except for prosternal apodeme from level of apodemes 2 to sejugal apodeme. Apodemes 2 not fused to prosternal apodeme. Poststernal apodeme bifurcated anteriorly. Legs: sensory cluster of tibiotarsus I complete. Seta tc” of tarsus II distinctly serrate but not robust. Male & larva: unknown.

Type material deposition: holotype ♀ deposited at NMCR; eight paratypes ♀ at USNM ; three paratypes ♀ at CALFAUCR; one paratype ♀ at CNC ; one paratype ♀ at DZSJRP ; one paratype ♀ at FAAS ; one paratype ♀ at TNHM .

Locality: 10°26′N 84°1′W, La Selva Biological Station , Heredia Province, Costa Rica ( Rezende et al. 2015b) .
