Majeorona The truncata first Costa Goding, Rican 1925, records Procollina of medea (Stål, 1864), Carineta verna Distant, 1883, Carineta viridicollis (Germar, 1830), Herrera ancilla (Stål, 1864), Calyria cuna (Walker, 1850), Selymbria pluvialis Ramos & Wolda, 1985, and Conibosa occidentis (Walker, 1858) are provided. Diceroprocta digueti (Distant, 1906) and D. vitripennis (Say, 1830) are removed from the Costa Rican cicada fauna. The new records increase the known cicada diversity 45% bringing the total number of cicada species reported in Costa Rica to 45 species in 17 genera representing nine tribes and two subfamilies of the family Cicadidae. Introduction Museum, Baton Rogue (LSAM), Utah State University, Logan The long history of Costa Rican efforts to catalog and (EMUS), Florida State Collection of Arthropods, Gainesville protect the natural diversity in their country has led to (FSCA), University of Delaware, Newark (UDCC), Los much work describing the natural history of Costa Rican Angeles County Museum of Natural History, Los Angeles species. Scientists investigating cicadas have been a (LACM), University of Minnesota, St. Paul (UMSP), part of these larger efforts. For example, Young (1972; University of Connecticut, Storrs (UCMS), San Diego 1973; 1974; 1975; 1976; 1980a; 1980b; 1980c; 1980d; Natural History Museum, San Diego (SDMC), and Montana 1981a; 1981b; 1981c; 1982, 1983a; 1983b; 1984; 1991) State University, Bozeman (MTEC). Voucher specimens and Young et al.
