Dasymutilla guanacaste Manley & Pitts 2007: 56 View Cited Treatment . Holotype, ♂, Costa Rica, Guanacaste (UCDC, examined).

Diagnosis. MALE. This species can be separated from all the other males of the paradoxa group by the absence of a seta-filled pit on S2. Additional diagnostic features include the flat hypopygium, which lacks a medial longitudinal carina and the predominantly black mesosoma, legs, and T1.

FEMALE. Unknown.

Distribution. Mexico (Veracruz), Honduras, Costa Rica ( Manley & Pitts, 2007).

Material examined. Type material. Holotype, ♂, COSTA RICA, Guanacaste , Guanacaste NP, Volcan Cacao Sta., 13.IV.1995, L.S. Kimsey ( UCDC) . Paratypes, COSTA RICA: Alajuela, Bijagua , VI.1990, F.D.

Bohart & W. Hanson (1♂, EMUS) ; Guanacaste , 3 km SE Rio Naranjo , F.D. Parker: 21-31.VII.1992 (1♂, EMUS) ; 1-9.X.1992 (1♂, EMUS); 20.V.1993 (1♂, EMUS); San Jose, San Isidro General , II.1993 (1♂, EMUS) . Other material. COSTA RICA: Alajuela, Bijagua , 20 km S Ulapa, F.D. Parker: 5-18.III.1991 (1♂, FSCA) ; 3.VI.1991 (1♂, FSCA).

Remarks. This species is relatively common in Central America and has been collected in nearly all of Costa Rica’s states. This species is similar in coloration, distribution, and morphology to D. sleipniri , differing only in the absence of a seta-filled pit on S2.
