During a visit to Costa llica in the year 1910 I was able to spend about ten days in the comparatively little-known peninsula of Nicoya. The trend of the peninsula is north-west to south-east, and it is separated from the mainland by the Gulf of Nicoya, a shallow arm of the Pacific Ocean, which opens to the sea on the south-east.

Abstract Ipomoea quamoclit is a fast-growing vine, native to Mexico and Central America, and widely cultivated and introduced to many countries as an ornamental for its attractive foliage and bright flowers. It has escaped from cultivation to become naturalized and invasive in a variety of habitats, where it competes with native vine species and behaves as an agricultural weed. It is listed as invasive in Australia, Papua New Guinea, India, the United States, Brazil, the Galapagos Islands, Costa Rica, Cuba, the Maldives, the Seychelles and many islands in the Pacific Ocean.

Introduction: The pelagic sea snake, “Serpiente Marina,” Hydrophis Platurus, shows a wide-range distribution in the Indo-Pacific Ocean, reaching the Pacific coast of the Americas. Although the snake bite accidents caused by sea snakes are rare, Costa Rica occasionally presents large quantities of sea snakes stranded in the shore, mainly during the dry season. Discussion: A 12-years-old boy was bitten in Playas del Coco, Sardinal, Guanacaste province, Costa Rica, and almost immediately started to develop pain and paresthesia. A coagulation time test was performed, although its importance is not relevant to the treatment of snakebite accidents caused by sea snakes, mainly due to its neurotoxic characteristics. Conclusion: Although there is no antivenom available to treat snakebite accidents from the pelagic seasnake, its treatment is frequently misinterpreted, incurring in clinical tests that are not necessary and putting aside the tests that have more relevance to the potential clinical symptoms of the snake bite.

Euphausiids have been well studied in several regions of the Pacific Ocean; however, there is lessinformation regarding euphausiids in Costa Rican waters. We analyzed euphausiid specimens collected aroundIsla del Coco National Park during 2011 and 2012. A total of 130 specimens were analyzed and 13 euphausiidspecies were identified, belonging to four genera and one family. An annotated list of species is presented,with photographs and details for their identification. All species found represent new records for waters aroundIsla del Coco in the Costa Rican Pacific. The most frequent species were Euphausia diomedeae, Euphausiadistinguenda, Nematoscelis gracilis and Stylocheiron affine. Rev. Biol. Trop. 64 (Suppl. 1): S221-S230. Epub2016 Febrary 01.
