  ABSTRACT: An investigation was carried out with the objective of determining the number of holotypes that should be present in the National Museum of Costa Rica, according to the literature. For this, a review was carried out of the scientific articles that described species from Costa Rica and indicated that they had deposited the holotypes in the National Institute of Biodiversity, whose collections have been under the administration of the National Museum since 2015, in addition to a physical review of the entire Hymenoptera collection to confirm the presence of each specimen. It was found that there should be 849 holotypes, of which 169 were not found. This leaves us with a final inventory of 684 holotypes representing 8 families, 29 subfamilies and 29 tribes, all of them in perfect condition.
