Quantitative collecting efforts over the last several decades in Costa Rica have resulted in many new species of insects. The Arthropods of La Selva projects included collecting from a typical lowland Neotropical forest and up an altitudinal transect, and has provided many valuable samples of insects, spiders and mites potentially new to science. We describe 18 new species in the bark beetle genusScolytodesFerrari, 1867, 14 of which were collected during this project:S.angulusJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.sufflatusJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.squamatifronsJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.comosusJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.spatulatusJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.seriatusJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.profundusJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.catinusJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.fimbriatusJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.sulcifronsJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.planifronsJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.porosusJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.mundusJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.callosusJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.parvipilusJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.plenusJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.,S.nigerJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov., andS.simplexJordal & Kirkendall,sp. nov.One species,ScolytodesminutissimusSchedl, 1952, is redescribed to match the holotype. We give new Costa Rica records forS.costabilisWood, 1974, which is the correct name forS.obesusWood, 1975 (syn. nov.). We report Costa Rica as a new country record for six species:ScolytodesclusiacolensWood, 1967,S.crinalisWood, 1978,S.culcitatus(Blandford, 1897),S.libidusWood, 1978,S.reticulatus(Wood, 1961), andS.spadix(Blackman, 1943). From a closely related genus, we provide the first record for Central America (and only the second collection) ofPycnarthrumfulgidumWood, 1977.

Central American Species

A revision of the Central American species of the genus Brachiacantha was undertaken to update the knowledge of the Central American species of the genus. Material of several collections was reviewed, using original descriptions and keys, and comparing with the type material. Twenty-five species of the genus Brachiacantha were found in Central American material, including nine new species: B. nubes Nestor-Arriola, Toledo-Hernández and Solís, sp. nov., B. dentata Nestor-Arriola, Toledo-Hernández and Solís, sp. nov., B. isthmena Nestor-Arriola, Toledo-Hernández and Solís, sp. nov., B. aurantiapleura Nestor-Arriola, Solís and Toledo-Hernández, sp. nov., B. invertita Nestor-Arriola, Toledo-Hernández and Solís, sp. nov., B. papiliona Nestor-Arriola, Toledo-Hernández and Solís, sp. nov., B. tica Nestor-Arriola, Toledo-Hernández and Solís, sp. nov., B. hexaspina González, Větrovec and Nestor-Arriola, sp. nov., and B. mimica Nestor-Arriola and Toledo-Hernández, sp. nov. Nomenclatural changes include Brachiacantha gorhami (Weise), comb. nov., B. guatemalensis (Gorham), comb. nov., and Brachiacantha duodecimguttata Leng, syn. nov. for B. lepida Mulsant. The male genitalia of the species B. fenestrata Gorhan, B. octostigma Mulsant, B. aperta Weise, and B. cachensis Gorhan are described and illustrated for the first time. New records include B. indubitabilis Crotch and B. bipartita Mulsant (Costa Rica and Guatemala), B. gorhami (Weise) (El Salvador), and B. cachensis Gorham (Panamá). A key to the species is included.

The genus Monstera (Araceae) has a history of problematic taxonomy due to the large number of existing names, their incorrect application, and prevalence of incomplete herbarium specimens. Recent field exploration and study of herbarium collections has led to the discovery of several new species of Monstera, especially in Central America. Here we describe Monstera anomala and M. integrifolia, two new species from Panama and Costa Rica with entire, non-fenestrate mature leaves.

Two New Species

Two new species are described in the Desmopachria convexa species group in the Neotropical genus Desmopachria Babington: D. mancosp. nov. (Guyana), and D. mortimersp. nov. (Costa Rica). Two subgroups, the D. convexa-convexa and the D. convexa-signata groups are defined. Desmopachria convexa-convexa species are from North and Central America and have a subapical articulable lobe on the male lateral lobe that is large and elongate and extends well beyond the slender, oblique apex of the lateral lobe. Desmopachria convexa-signata species are from South America and have a subapical articulable lobe on the male lateral lobe that is small and discrete and does not extend beyond the truncate apex of the lateral lobe. The male genitalia of all recognized species in the D. convexa group are redrawn from the literature. New species are illustrated from specimens and described species have morphological features redrawn from published illustrations.
