Three new Colpoptera species are identified in Costa Rica, highlighting their genetic details and ecological context.
New species of Colpoptera, C. acinaces sp. nov., C. alacutus sp. nov. and C. falx sp. nov. (Colpopterinae: Colpopterini), are described from Heredia and Alajuela Provinces, Costa Rica, where they were collected during a survey of planthoppers associated with palms. Molecular data for the five-prime region of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene, 18S rRNA gene, and 28S rRNA gene are provided for available members of Colpopterini to support placement in Colpoptera.
