On Estoloides (Parestoloides) costaricensis Breuning, 1940 View in CoL

Breuning (1940) described E. (P.) costaricensis based on, at least, 1 male and 1 female. According to him, the holotype is from San José, Costa Rica (No mention if San José was the Province in CR, or a city, of which there are many in CR and more than one in the Province of CR) and was deposited at ZMHB. The sex and collecting site of the paratype, also deposited at the ZMHB, was not reported.

Bernd Jaeger (ZMHB) (personal communication) found 3 specimens in the ZMHB, but none with a type label. One of the specimens ( Figs 3–6 View FIGURES 1–12. 1 ), identified by Breuning, is from Piedras Negras, Costa Rica. Piedras Negras is in the Province of San José but since Breuning failed to indicate, Province or city for San José it is not possible to know if it is the holotype.

There is a female specimen, also from Costa Rica ( Figs. 37–39 View FIGURES 37–44. 37–41 ), deposited at NHMB and identified by Breuning as Parestoloides costaricensis . However, the pronotal sculpture is denser indicating this species is not the same as that deposited in the ZMHB.

There is also a specimen from Surrubres (300’), Costa Rica in the USNM that bears a type label and is determined by Breuning as Estola costaricensis Breuning ( Figs 7–8 View FIGURES 1–12. 1 ). It has the pronotum densely punctate, which differs from Estoloides costaricensis based on comments by Breuning (1940, 1974a) that Estoloides costaricensis has the pronotum less punctate than Estoloides perforata .
