The world catalogue (Evenhuis, 2006) quotes only Macrocera unica Fisher, 1939 for Costa Rica. According to the description (you can check @ online-keys.net) it's unlikely to be unica. Another genus that occurs in the Neotropics is Paramacrocera Tonnoir & Edwards, I couldn't find enough info quickly.
While others can't climb, using infinite pains, I, gravity turning to jest, Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes, Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best. |

Vockeroth's key to Central American Keroplatidae has no other genus of Macrocerinae than Macrocera. |
