Hygronemobius ottei Santos, Cadena-Castañeda & Tavares nom. nov.

Nemobius elegans Otte, 2006: 308 . Holotype: male, COSTA RICA, Heredia, Sarapiquí, 16 km SSE of La Virgen. Depository: National Biodiversity Institute, Costa Rica (INBio).

Nemobius elegans: Barranco, Gilgado & Ortuño, 2013: 215.

Hygronemobius elegans: Desutter-Grandcolas & Hugel, 2016: 323. New combination.

Comments. Otte (2006), in his contribution to the crickets of La Selva, Costa Rica, described Nemobius elegans Otte, 2006 . Later, Desutter-Grandcolas & Hugel (2016) transferred this species to the genus Hygronemobius, resulting in a new combination: Hygronemobius elegans (Otte, 2006) .

With this taxonomic change, Hygronemobius elegans (Otte, 2006) became a junior homonym of Hygronemobius elegans Desutter-Grandcolas, 1993 (from the Peruvian Amazon). Consequently, a new name is required for the species described from Costa Rica by Otte (2006).

Here, we propose Hygronemobius ottei nom. nov. as the replacement name for H. elegans (Otte, 2006) . This new name is dedicated to the original author of the species, Daniel Otte.
