The Tody Motmot (Hylomanes momotula) has a fragmented range throughout Central America. I present evidence from audio recordings for a new location for this species in Costa Rica. Individuals detected likely represent a previously undiscovered population in the foothills of the Caribbean Slope of the Tilarán Mountains. A small population of Tody Motmots could easily be overlooked in foothill forests drained by the Jamaical, San Lorencito, and San Lorenzo rivers, which are exclusively on private land.
