Pronotum: collar present; frontal angles rounded, not exposed; callar region densely pilose; humeral angles slightly exposed, subacute. Legs: femora ventrally armed with a single row of numerous small spines-like teeth; hind tibiae with inner dilation lanceolate, occupying 49 % of the total length of hind tibiae; outer dilation expanded, barely phylliform, with one shallow emargination, occupying 60 % of the total length of hind tibiae ( Fig. 18). Hemelytra: macropterous, extending beyond apex of last abdominal segment. Genital capsule: posteroventral edge with rounded median notch ( Fig. 21). Parameres. Fig. 25.  Female.Color and habitus similar to male holotype. Antennal segment IV dark brown with sub-basal dark yellow ring; connexival segments and abdominal segments VIII–IX black; posterior margin of abdominal sterna IV–V dark reddish brown to black. Structure.Hind tibiae with inner dilation lanceolate, occupying 64 % of the total length of hind tibiae; outer dilation expanded, with one shallow emargination, occupying 71 % of the total length of hind tibiae. Measurements.

Chemsak (UNAM).   Etymology.The specific epithet “mesoamericana” is an adjective, meaning Central America, and refers to the known geographic distribution of this species.   Distribution. Costa Rica.   Diagnosis.  Stenoeurilla mesoamericana sp. nov., shares these characters with  S. hansoni( Brailovsky & Barrera, 1997)and  S. herediana: anterior and posterior lobes of metathoracic peritreme yellow; antennal segment I pale castaneous-orange with basal joint black, and segments II and III pale castaneous-orange with apical joint dark brown to black.  Stenoeurilla mesoamericanais easily distinguished from the other two in having the pro-, meso-, and metasternum black; abdominal segments black with a yellow square on either side of the midline on segments III–VI ( Figs. 9, 13); anterior pronotal disk including the calli yellowish white and covered with white farinaceus area; posterior margin black with bluish green reflections; and antennal segment IV of male entirely dark brown (In female dark brown with sub-basal dark yellow ring). In  S. hansoniand  S. heredianathe pro-, meso-, and metasternum are yellow; the antennal segment IV dark brown with sub-basal yellow ring; the pronotal disk with callar region yellow without white farinose marks; and posterior margin dark castaneous-orange or dark yellowishorange without black and bluish green reflections. The three species are clearly distinguished by the color of dorsal and ventral abdominal segments ( Figs. 7–9, 11–13). 2234217507 [398,513,1936,1961] 1951-06-19 USNM O.
