Diagnosis.

The bicolored pronotum with the discal macula reaching the posterior margin places this species with L. hansoni and L. pugliesae . It can be distinguished from L. hansoni by the presence of stemmata on the pro- and mesocoxae (also present in L. pugliesae and L. cidaoi ). It is very similar to L. pugliesae but is more widespread and common than that high elevation species. The male genitalia must be consulted to be sure of the identification. In L. parvula , the median lobe is subparallel with a truncate apex and the parameres are broadly rounded (Figure 35). In L. pugliesae the median lobe is constricted just past the apex of the parameres and rounded at the apex (Figure 36) and the parameres are narrowly rounded.

Redescription.

General dorsal coloration dark brown, pronotum and antennomeres XI yellow, pronotum bearing longitudinal black stripe (Figure 9). Antennae subserrate; antennomeres IV–XI dorsoventrally flattened (Figure 19); scape subconical, antennomeres II and III short, subequal in length, approx. 1/4 length of I; antennomere IV elongate, approx. 1/3 longer than I; antennomeres V–X gradually decreasing in length; antennomere XI elongate. Mandibles elongate. Labrum wider than long. Maxillary palpomere I short, approx. 1/3 length of II, which is cylindrical, palpomere III approx. half length of II, IV elongate, subequal in length of II, acuminated, densely setose. Labial palp 3-segmented, palpomere I and II subequal in length, palpomere III elongate and cylindrical, acuminated, densely setose. Pronotum trapezoidal, anterolateral angles rounded, with posterolateral angles and pronounced and acute, divergent, with weakly visible longitudinal carina in anterior portion of pronotum, bifurcate posteriorly forming weakly visible areola (Figure 11). Prosternum V-shaped; posterior margin rounded; laterally reaching hypomeron (Figure 25).

Elytra 7.5 –10× longer than pronotum (Figs 2, 3); costae I, II, and III more visible. Humeral region rounded (Figs 2, 3). Legs slender, elongate (Fig. 27). Pro- and mesocoxae bearing stemmata. Aedeagus with median lobe uniform, slender, 1.4 × longer than parameres; parameres 1.5 × longer than phallobase; phallobase rounded posteriorly (Figure 36).

Length (pronotum + elytra): 3.2-3.5 mm. Width (across humeri): 0.8-1.0 mm.

Distribution.

Costa Rica and Panama (Figure 37).

Type locality.

Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui.

Remarks.

Lycinella parvula was put in synonymy with L. opaca by Kleine (1933). L. parvula was reinstated as a valid species by Bocáková 2003.
