Abstract:

The genus Diadocidia Ruthe is shown for the first time to be present in Costa Rica. Three species were found: Diadocidia nigripalpis Edwards, hitherto known to occur in the south of Brazil, and two new species, hybrida and similis. While nigripalpis is confirmed to belong to the subgenus Adidocidia Lastovka & Matile, both hybrida and similis cannot be classified on a subgeneric level, since their morphology includes features typical of both Diadocidia s. str. and Adidocidia. A key is provided to the Costa Rican species of Diadocidia.
