The specific epithet, zumbado, is used as a noun in apposition based on the family name of the collector of many interesting Agra specimens, ex­parataxonomist, and now INBio Inventory chief, Manuel A. Zumbado of San Antonio de Belén, Heredia, Costa Rica. Notes. This species features all the external attributes of typical purpurea group members, however, I have classified it in its own subgroup because of the shorter stylomere 2 and the broad­ax shape of the aedeagal apex.Published as part of Erwin, Terry L., 2002, The Beetle Family Carabidae of Costa Rica: Twenty­nine new species of Agra Fabricius 1801 (Coleoptera: Carabidae, Lebiini, Agrina), pp. 1-68 in Zootaxa 119 on pages 63-64, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.16280
