(Lindig), deposited in BM(NH), examined. 
Pardosa fastosa: Petrunkevitch 1911:570. Roewer 1954:186. 
Pardosa fastuosa: Bonnet 1958:3367 (incorrect subsequent spelling). 
Pardosa uncatula F. Pickard-Cambridge, 1902:319, Figs. 27, 28 (pi. 30). Lectotype 
male from La Palma, Costa Rica (Tristan), deposited in BM(NH), examined 
and here designated. Three paralectotype males and six paralectotype females 
from the type locality, with same data as lectotype, deposited in BM(NH) and 
here designated. One male and two females from original syntype series, 
collected at the type locality and with same data as lectotype, described herein as 
P. mayana new species. Banks 1909:219. Gertsch 1934:20 (part; proposed 
synonymy of uncatula with pauxilla, later disclaimed by Gertsch and Wallace 
(1935)). Roewer 1954:190 (part). Bonnet 1958:3427 (part). NEW SYNONYM. 
Male. Total length 5.26 ±0.39 mm; carapace 2.73 ±0.22 mm long 
and 2.09 ±0.17 mm wide (20 specimens). Carapace with orange 
yellow median and submarginal areas, and with paired dark 
longitudinal bands flanking median area; lateral margins dark. 
Sternum black, with pale mesal band anteriorly. Chelicerae dark 
orange, with black lines; retromargin with 3 teeth. Legs yellow 
orange; femora I and II dark at base; tibia and tarsus I with lateral 
fringe of long setae. Abdomen black, with dull yellow heart mark; 
venter yellow, reticulated with black. Terminal apophysis stout, 
toothlike, connected to mesal swelling by acute angle (ventral view); 
median apophysis with distal process strongly hooked at tip (Fig. 
9); conductor thin, fluted at tip, lacking knoblike process at tip (Fig. 
12 ). 
Female. Total length 5.57 ±0.54 mm; carapace 2.70 ±0.23 mm 
long and 2.11 ±0.20 mm wide (20 specimens). General color and 
structure essentially as in male, but leg I lacking fringe and black 
pigment, and pale median area of abdominal dorsum extended 
posteriad as series of chevrons. Median septum with posterior part 
approximately rectangular (Fig. 52); copulatory tubes stout, diverg- 
ing (Fig. 53). 
Diagnosis. Males of P. fastosa most resemble those of P. sagei, P. 
desolatula, and P. mayana, but differ in having the terminal 
apophysis connected to the swelling lying mesal to that apophysis by 
an acute angle rather than by a curve, and by the strongly hooked 
tip of the median apophysis. Females of fastosa are anatomically 
indistinguishable from those of sagei, desolatula, and mayana, but 
most specimens examined were accompanied by males, or origi- 
nated in localities from which no males of the other species were 
known.
