Abstract

Examination of the lectotype (here designated) reveals that Hagnagora anicata (Felder & Rogenhofer) does not occur in Costa Rica. Instead two new species are described, H. elianne sp. n. and H. unnia sp. n., and their distribution is discussed. The previous treatment of H. anicata as a single widespread species ranging from Jamaica and Mexico to Bolivia needs to be critically evaluated.
