Pronotal collar green with castaneous mark across anterior or lateral part of pronotal collar. Pronotum covered with short silvery pile. Mesonotum green, fuscous submedian and lateral sigillae mottled with green, lateral mark extend to posterior margin, disc posterior to submedian sigillae fuscous except for green mark medial to piceous scutal depression. Marks expanded to almost completely fuscous dorsum or reduced to linear fascia or spots on anterior or posterior of sigillae in paratypes. Cruciform elevation green, tawny medially, with lateral ochraceous anterior arms, wing groove green. Metanotum green, with fuscous anterolateral spot. Long, dense silvery pile on mesonotum, very dense on lateral margin giving the appearance of a silvery fascia, between arms of cruciform elevation, and in wing groove, shorter silvery pile on dorsolateral disc. Ventral thoracic segments green except fuscous basisternum 2 and basisternum 3, with fuscous spot on episternum 2, anterior and posterior episternum 3, with white pubescence and long silvery pile.

Wings: Fore wings and hind wings hyaline with eight and six apical cells, respectively. Venation green except greenish-tawny costa, tawny cubitus posterior + anal vein 1 and anal vein 2 + 3 with piceous posterior margin, tawny cubitus anterior along basal cell, castaneous arculus, piceous spot at node, some green areas become tawny in some paratypes. Basal cell clouded. Radial and radiomedial crossveins not parallel. Pterostigma present. Infuscation on distal wing veins connecting to infuscation on ambient vein producing L-shaped marks, on proximal radius anterior 2 connecting across radial crossvein, on radiomedial crossvein, on median crossvein, and on mediocubital crossvein which connects to mark on distal cubitus anterior 1, cubitus anterior 2, spot at node, on nodal line on median vein, and median vein 3 + 4, infuscation reduced in some paratypes. Basal membrane of fore wing white at base becoming dark gray distally and posteriorly. Venation of hind wing tawny except green radius anterior and median veins. Anal cell 3 and anal cell 2 along anal vein 3 dark gray, anal cell 1 and 2 along anal vein 2 gray. Light infuscation on apex of wing margin.

Legs: Legs green with fuscous spots on lateral base of coxa, fuscous fascia on medial anterior coxa, anterior and medial trochanters, femora striped with light fuscous, and distal tibiae becoming castaneous. Fore femora proximal spine light fuscous, thin, elongate and adpressed against femur, secondary spine triangular fuscous, small, upright, fuscous apical spine, green in some paratypes. Tarsi castaneous, darker distally, tarsal claws with piceous tips, tibial spurs and comb castaneous with piceous tip.

Operculum: Male operculum with lateral margin parallel to long body axis, smoothly rounded posterolateral margin, curved posterior margin, reaching to anterior of sternite II, green with transverse fuscous mark across base, covered with white pubescence. Medial margin rounded, extending to middle of hind coxa. Meracanthus pointed, green with fuscous base, reaching to middle of operculum, with sparse white pubescence. Female operculum similarly shaped and colored to male but medial margin only reaches to middle of meracanthus, reaching to middle of sternite II. Female meracanthus almost as long as operculum, similar coloration and pubescence to male. Opercula with long silvery pile radiating from edge.

Abdomen. Abdomen castaneous with tawny dorsal midline, decreasing in size in posterior tergites, tawny anterior dorsolateral tergite, with green hind margins, lateral tergite 1 and tergite 2 on medial timbal cavity fuscous, covered with piceous pile along dorsal midline and angling across dorsolateral regions of tergites 3–7, dorsolateral tergite 2, and on lateral tergites 3–4, long silvery pile on lateral tergites 1–2, anterior dorsolateral and posterolateral tergite 3, posterior dorsolateral and posterolateral tergite 4, dorsolateral tergite 5, dorsolateral and posterolateral tergites 6–7, and dorsolateral tergite 8, silvery pile appears as two chevrons across dorsal abdomen. Timbal cover recurved, greenish exposing timbal, short silvery pile radiating from timbal cover. Timbal with three long and one intercalary ribs, dark spot on timbal plate. Female abdominal segment 9 castaneous dorsally, large fuscous fasciae on dorsolateral surfaces that bifurcates at posterior terminus with the lateral branch terminating on posterior margin, castaneous ventrolaterally, tawny ventrally and anterodorsally, caudal beak piceous, with dense, long, golden pile, very dense on posteroventral angle. Posterior margin of abdominal segment 9 sinuate. Sternites and epipleurites castaneous except piceous sternite I, anterior and anterolateral sternite II and medial sternite III, male sternites III–VII translucent, sternite VIII U-shaped radiating long silvery pile. Female sternite VII with sinuate posterior margin and medial notch, castaneous spot laterally, notch and medial posterior margin marked with fuscous in some paratypes. Spiracles white.

Genitalia: Male pygofer dark tawny with castaneous mark on lateral base and surrounding dorsal beak, covered with short silvery pile, with rounded distal shoulder angled medially, dorsal beak roughly triangular, piceous with silvery pile dorsally. Pygofer basal lobe indistinct, pygofer upper lobes ochraceous, elongated with medial bend at two-thirds its length, adpressed to pygofer with rounded terminus. Anal styles castaneous, anal tube tawny. Median uncus lobe tawny, approximately triangular, surrounded by lateral uncus lobes. Lateral uncus lobes tawny, wrapping around sides of median uncus lobe and meeting along midline posterior to median uncus lobe, recurved laterally forming a semicircle in lateral view with rounded terminus forming a notch on posterior midline, basal lateral uncus lobes rounded forming a support around base of aedeagus. Aedeagus tubular, dark castaneous.

Female gonapophysis VIII green, gonapophysis IX dark castaneous. Gonocoxite X piceous extending past dorsal beak with radiating golden pile. Anal styles piceous.

Measurements (mm). N = 10 males or 10 females, mean (range). Length of body: male 20.91 (18.3–23.0), female 18.52 (17.4–20.0); length of fore wing: male 28.39 (26.0–31.1), female 28.31 (26.8–29.6); width of fore wing: male 9.11 (8.1–9.9), female 8.95 (8.5–9.7); length of head: male 2.69 (2.4–2.8), female 2.73 (2.6–2.9); width of head including eyes: male 6.29 (5.7–6.8), female 6.17 (5.8–6.6); width of pronotum including suprahumeral plates: male 7.82 (6.9–8.7), female 7.75 (7.4–8.1); width of mesonotum: male 6.11 (5.5–6.6), female 6.12 (5.9– 6.6).

Diagnosis. Procollina parva n. sp. can be distinguished from all other species of Procollina as it is the only known species to have a head as wide as or wider than the mesonotum.

Distribution. The species is known only from the type series collected in Costa Rica. The species has a widespread distribution within Costa Rica having been collected in Alajuela, Cartago, Guanacanaste, Heredia, Puntarenas, and San Jose Provinces.
