In this study, pinned insect specimens derived from Malaise traps in Costa Rica were identified using a collaborative process, resulting in a significant addition to our understanding of the range of a rare Neotropical ant genus. The specimens were imaged and the COI barcode region of mitochondrial DNA was sequenced. The images and sequence data were shared in an open access database. Public exposure from such a digitally based approach to biodiversity analysis allowed us to collaboratively uncover the first known Costa Rican occurrence of the subterranean ant genus Acanthostichus, filling in a heretofore confusing hole in its geographic range.
