Abstract
Euglyphis jessiehillae Montero, new species, is described from Costa Rican rain forest. Photographs of the adult, larva and cocoon, as well as male and female genitalia, are provided. In addition to its description and natural history, we include a checklist for the described members of the genus Euglyphis known from Costa Rica.References
