Scaphytopius caprensis Arias-Paco & Godoy 2025, sp. nov.

Scaphytopius caprensis Arias-Paco & Godoy, sp. nov. (Figs. 2A–H, 9C, 10C, 11F, 12F, 13F) Description. Length of male 4.09–4.63 mm, female 4.15–4.23 mm. General appearance dark brown with white spots. Crown 2.4 x longer than basal width between eyes, brown with dark brown longitudinal band in center, widening toward apex; small white band at apex (Fig. 2A). Face dark brown, almost black; apex of frontoclypeus with two transverse white bands forming inverted V; 4–5 short pale transverse lines on sides of frontoclypeus (Fig. 2C). Forewings brown with multiple irregular dark brown spots; with numerous white spots widely distributed (usually between 18–20), with 11 veinlets; veins red (Fig. 2B). Legs dark brown with black spots on tibiae. Male genitalia. Pygofer in lateral view with long, thin, spine-like projection at apex, of similar length to rest of pygofer (Figs. 2D, 9C); with some macrosetae on dorsal part. Subgenital plate triangular, wider at base than apex, much longer than wide; with row of approximately 6–8 macrosetae on outer margin and multiple punctures widely distributed (Fig. 10C). Connective V-shaped. Style in ventral view with apophysis short, thin, and rounded at apex; space between preapical lobe and apophysis L-shaped (Fig. 2F). Paraphyses absent. Aedeagus in ventral view with tubular preatrium that widens before shaft (Fig. 2G), of similar length to shaft; in lateral view, dorsal apodeme straight, shorter than shaft; shaft tubular and curved dorsally toward apex; with two spines at apex that curve ventrally around their own axis (Fig. 2E). Gonopore apical (Fig. 2H). Female. External appearance similar to male. Sternite VII slightly longer than wide, longer than sternite VI; posterior margin becoming narrower toward apex; with a slight notch in middle (Fig. 14O). Pygofer with multiple macrosetae at apex. In lateral view first valvulae curved, with pointed apex; second valvulae dorsally curved in lateral view, with small denticles extending almost from midlength and reaching to apex. Before beginning of denticles the valvulae is misaligned, with shape of a slight step (Fig. 14P); valvulae united at midlength, in lateral view with more sclerotized area that is perceived as slight spot in center, much wider than long. Diagnosis. Wings with red veins (Fig. 2B). Pygofer in lateral view with long, thin, spine-like projection at apex, of similar length to rest of pygofer (Fig. 2D). Aedeagus apex with spines that curve ventrally around their own axis (Fig. 2E). Distribution. Costa Rica. Biology. Unknown. Etymology. In reference to the genus Capra (goat), due to the shape of the spines of the aedeagus, which resemble goat horns. Material examined. Holotype. ♂.
