Collaria oculata

description: Collaria oculata (Reuter, 1876)
(Figs. 11, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11)
Trachelomiris oculatus Reuter, 1876: 61[n.sp.];
Collaria oculata Carvalho, 1959: 285 [catalog]; Schuh 2002–2014 [catalog].
Diagnosis. Recognized by the brown general coloration (Fig. 11), embolium wider than the thickness of antennal segment I; endosoma with long sclerite strongly tapered towards the apex (Fig. 46), medial left sclerite semicircular (Fig. 46), and ventral right sclerite elliptical (Fig. 54).
Redescription. Male: COLORATION: Brown, with yellow and black areas. Head: Brown with paired transverse markings lateral to longitudinal sulcus, and two black longitudinal patches around eyes and neck; eye yellow; mandibular plate black; maxillary plate and apex of buccula, brown; labium brown with black apex; clypeus brown; antennal segments brown; segment I yellow, apical portion of segments III and IV, black. Thorax: Pronotum dark brown, with longitudinal pale line reaching disc; calli and lateral margins dark brown; inner region of calli pale brown; two rounded black spots on humeral angles; collar brownish; proepisternum black with reddish line on margin; scutellum brown with pale longitudinal line and two pale spots on basal angles and apex. Hemelytra brown; clavus dark brown; median region and corium with brown patches; embolium and internal region of cuneus pale; internal margin of cuneus and hemelytral membrane brown; ostiolar peritreme with pale brown margins, median region of abdomen with brownish spots and black spot at apex of pygophore. VESTITURE AND STRUCTURE: Head: Antenna with short erect pilosity shorter than thickness of segments; antennal segment I, 1.2 times width of head (Table 1), two times width of II; segment II 2.5 times longer than I (Table 1). Thorax: Pronotum with anterior lobe abruptly narrowed with golden long sparse and erect pilosity. MEASUREMENTS: See Table 1. GENITALIA: Pygophore: Elongated, apex slightly rounded (Fig. 21), with left projected lateroposterior margin (Fig. 21). Parameres: Left paramere sickle-shaped with dorsal margin of basal sensory lobe almost straight and ventral margin of basal sensory lobe clearly convex; hypophysis gradually acuminate to apex from 1/3 of apex (Fig. 33), right paramere as in Fig. 33. Endosoma: With long sclerite strongly tapered towards apex with microtrichia in basal region (Fig. 46), medial left sclerite semicircular with microtrichia on surface (Fig. 46); ribbon like sclerite with a short lobe or area beneath secondary gonopore covered with microtrichia (Fig. 46), ventral right sclerite elliptical with trichia on surface (Fig. 54).
Female: Similar to male in color, but slightly longer. MEASUREMENTS: Table 1. GENITALIA: First gonapophysis: With broad apical grooved region (Fig. 67). Second gonapophysis: As in Fig. 77. Dorsal labiate plate with small sclerite caudal to sclerotized rings (Fig. 89). Posterior wall with rounded interramal lobes (Fig. 101). Dorsal structure small and medial process arrow like shaped (Fig.101).
Geographic distribution. Eastern region of Canada, central region of United States and Mexico (Fig. 108) (Schwartz 2008).
Plant associations. Panicum huachuacae (Poaceae) (Carvalho & Fontes 1981).
Discussion. Collaria oculata differs of C. mieilleurii by having the antennal segments with short erect pilosity and the hemelytra with distinctive coloration, embolium wider than the thickness of antennal segment I, and genitalia of male and female. We did not examine the type series of C. oculata, but Dr. G. Lindberg kindly sent us photographs of a male specimen which is deposited at the Naturhistoriska riksmuseet (Swedish Museum of Natural History) (NHRS), and bears labels with Reuter’s handwriting.
