Costa Rica, Dota (south of San José), 1'500 msm, 25.3.2013. ID? The long antennas are very strange.
Thanks and greetings
André

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.

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