Additional Cotithene globulicollis from La Selva & San Ramón

Dissection of Voss' male syntype of C. globulicollis indicates that I have additional conspecifics from La Selva and San Ramón (Costa Rica, Alajuela province). On the other hand, the larger individuals from Braulio Carrillo (Cotithene sp. nov. 2) have different aedeagal sclerites and therefore truly pertain to an undescribed species. The last barrier to start the species descriptions has now been removed.
