Abstract
The genus Nielsonia was established by Young (1977) and included four new s pecies: praestigia, pretensa, scissa and rostris. In this paper we describe three new species from Costa Rica: serrata, unica, and pucketti, the latte r also present in Honduras and Panama. A revised key to all known species, based on male genitalia, is also presented. The genus ranges from Honduras (new northern record) to Ecuador.
