Abstract

Two species of cynipids (Hym., Cynipidae, Cynipini) previously known from Panama are recorded for the first time in Costa Rica: Bassettia caulicola Medianero & Nieves-Aldrey, 2010 and Neuroterus elvisi Medianero & Nieves-Aldrey, 2017. The plant host of both species is discussed and it is confirmed that B. caulicola corresponds to a sexual form, the male of which is described here.
