Abstract
BRAILOVSKY, Harry and BARRERA, Ernesto. Taxonomy and distribution of the genus Leptoscelis in Costa Rica (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Coreidae: Leptoscelini). Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2012, vol.83, n.1, pp.57-62. ISSN 2007-8706.
The genus Leptoscelis Laporte (Coreidae: Leptoscelini) from Costa Rica is revised. One new species, L. conspicuus, is described and compared with L. quadrisignatus (Distant) and L. tricolor Westwood. Leptoscelis bisbimaculata Breddin is synonymized with L. quadrisignatus. Leptoscelis tricolor is recorded for the first time from Costa Rica. New distribution records are presented. Habitus illustrations and drawings of parameres are provided. A key to the known Costarican species is presented.
