Abstract
A new species of the four-spined goby genus Evermannia is described from the intertidal zone at two localities on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. Observations are included on the ecology and behavior of the species. Proportional and meristic data for Costa Rican specimens of Evermannia zosterura and E. panamensis are provided for the first time.References
