Telebasis rojinegra sp. nov. was recorded from ponds at La Selva Biological Station and three other sites in the Caribbean lowlands of Costa Rica. The new species appears closely related to T. boomsmae Garrison, 1994 recorded from Mexico, Belize and Costa Rica, T. collopistes Calvert, 1902 ranging from Mexico to Honduras, and T. garrisoni Bick Bick, 1995 from South America, but differs in having straighter and more elongate paraprocts and a half black pattern on the rear of the head. The female mesostigmal plates are also distinct from the above species. Telebasis rojinegra was active on the water primarily during afternoon hours.
新物种黑红Telebasis（Telebasis rojinegra sp. nov.）是在拉塞尔瓦生物站的池塘以及哥斯达黎加加勒比低地的其他三个地点发现的。该新物种似乎与1994年在墨西哥、伯利兹和哥斯达黎加记录的布氏Telebasis（T. boomsmae Garrison）、分布于从墨西哥到洪都拉斯的科氏Telebasis（T. collopistes Calvert，1902）以及来自南美洲的加氏Telebasis（T. garrisoni Bick Bick，1995）密切相关，但不同之处在于其肛侧突更直且更长，以及头部后部有半黑色图案。雌性中气门板也与上述物种不同。黑红Telebasis主要在下午时段活跃于水面。
