Redescriptions of the Carabodidae species Carabodella calcarata and Hardybodes penicillatus were completed together with redefinition and comparison of the genera under investigation. Complementary study of H. penicillatus and H. flabellatus resulted in recognition of the same structures observed in H. mirabilis (type species of Hardybodes), while observations of Carabodella calcarata (type species of Carabodella) highlighted the substantial differences compared to Hardybodes and other genera of the Carabodidae family. We concluded that Carabodella and Hardybodes are separate genera with easily distinguishable features. The particular characteristics of leg III in C. calcarata suggests a unique leg folding process compared to other genera in the family.

Costacarabodes turrialbai gen. nov., sp. nov. and Tuberocepheus kompsosis sp. nov. from Costa Rica are described using optical and scanning electron microscopy. Costacarabodes turrialbai gen. nov., sp. nov. is a new genus with particular characteristics: prodorsum with elevated interlamellar process divided by a deep depression; interlamellar, lamellar, and rostral setae very different in shape and size; eight pairs of notogastral setae; notogaster incompletely surrounded by circumgastric depression interrupting posterior notogastral zone; pedotectum I as normal extending lamina; pedotectum II reduced or absent; tutorium small, aligned dentitions present in inferior zone; epimeral zone with depressions; conspicuous longitudinal medial epimeral depression, demarcated by semicircular cuticular thickening; epimeral formulae 1-1-3-3; epimeral setae 3b, 3c parallel to each other; articulation of genu-tibia III and IV each with dorsal socket.T. kompsosis sp. nov. is differentiated from T. longus by pusticulate microsculture on ventral zone, humeral apophysis; lateral lamellar zone and epimeral zone; reticulate-foveate microsculpture on area of posterior prodorsal depression; punctate microsculpture on subcapitular zone; simple, setae with small dentitions: notogastral, rostral, interlamellar setae; simples basally inflated a sub-capitular setae; elevated interlamellar process with depressed central area, defining two triangular to polyhedral structures; polyhedral notogastral anterior depression well defined, with posterolateral cuticular ridges; three central notogastral promontories, of which two round to ovoid, and one semicircular; with lateral pairs of promontories (first pair large, oval; second pair medium sized, ovoid). Lateral prodorsum with anterior tutorial depression, well-developed posterior tutorial depression; anal plate with rounded depression anterior to sharp tip. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:4555F169-871C-4921-8710-A3DF8EF32AEE ARTICLE HISTORY
