Four new species of the genus Ochrotrichia Mosely, are described from Costa Rica and the male genitalia figured (Ochrotrichia avicula new species, Ochrotrichia conformalis new species, Ochrotrichia jolandae new species, and Ochrotrichia quasi new species). Twenty-five species are recorded from Costa Rica, 8 for the first time [O. aldama (Mosely), O. arranca (Mosely), O. assita Bueno-Soria & Holzenthal, O. caimita Flint, O. glabra Bueno-Soria & Santiago-Fragoso, O. hondurenia Bueno-Soria & Santiago-Fragoso, O. panamensis Flint, and O. tagala Flint] and new distributional records are listed.
