Abstract

A new species of Peckia Robineau-Desvoidy is described from the coastal dry forest of Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica, viz., Peckia glyphis sp.n., and a key to the ten species of Peckia known from the area is provided. A lectotype is designated for Peckia pexata (Wulp, 1895) and intraspecific variation in male leg setosity and in the morphology of male terminalia are documented.
