(Figs. 2, 17, 26, 63, 73, 83, 95)
Collaria capixaba Carvalho & Fontes, 1981: 14 [n.sp.]; Schuh 2002–2014 [catalog].
Diagnosis. Distinguished by Y-shaped black mark on head, hemelytra brownish to pale yellowish with characteristic spots (Fig. 2); endosoma with small sclerite extending distal to the secondary gonopore (Fig. 39) and long sclerite strongly tapered towards the apex (Fig. 39); posterior wall of female with rounded interramal lobes, dorsal structure covering half of the medial process, and medial process arrow-like (Fig. 95).
Redescription Male. COLORATION: Brown, with gray and black areas. Head: Brown; Y-shaped black mark extending from longitudinal sulcus to frons, and two black spots in neck. Eyes dark-brown, mandibular plate, maxillary plate, and apex of buccula, brown; labium brown with black apex. Clypeus with a black spot. Antennal segment I pale-yellow, segments II–IV brown. Thorax: Pronotum pale brown, calli and anterior lateral margins of pronotum dark brown and, two rounded black spots on humeral angles; collar pale; proepisternum brown; s cutellum brown with a pale yellowish longitudinal line. Hemelytra brown to pale yellow with a greater dark spot in apical half of clavus and irregular patches on corium; median region of embolium and external region of cuneus pale, internal and median region of cuneus, and hemelytral membrane, dark brown. Ostiolar peritreme with pale brown margins, abdomen with yellowish median spots, and a black spot at apex of pygophore. VESTITURE AND STRUCTURE: Head: Slightly broader than long; antenna with long erect pilosity, densely pilose, length shorter than segments thickness; segment I 1.2 times width of head, and approximately twice width of II; segment II 4 times longer than I (Table 1). Thorax: Pronotal anterior lobe abruptly narrowed with golden long sparse and erect pilosity. MEASUREMENTS: See Table 1. GENITALIA: Pygophore: Elongated with apex slightly rounded (Fig. 17).
Parameres: Left paramere sickle-shape with dorsal margin of basal sensory lobe clearly convex, and ventral margin of basal sensory lobe almost straight; hypophysis gradually acuminated; right paramere straight (Fig. 26). Endosoma: With small sclerite above secondary gonopore (Fig. 39); ribbon like sclerite with a short lobe or area beneath secondary gonopore covered with microtrichia (Fig. 39), long sclerite strongly tapered towards apex with microtrichia on basal and medial regions (Fig. 39).
Female: Similar to male in structure and coloration, but larger and more robust (Table 1) and with pale brown abdomen. MEASUREMENTS: Table 1. GENITALIA: First gonapophysis: With apical grooved region weakly sclerotized and broad, and sharpened apex (Fig. 63). Second gonapophysis: Apex triangular with one dorsal teeth (Fig. 73). Dorsal labiate plate with a large sclerite caudal to sclerotized rings (Fig. 83). Posterior wall with rounded interramal lobes and anterior angle of interramal lobes narrow, projected to blunt tip (Fig. 95). Dorsal structure covering half of medial process (Fig. 95). Medial process strongly sclerotized and arrow-like (Fig. 95).
Geographic distribution. Southeastern and southern Brazil (Fig. 106).
Plant associations. Grasses, without specific data (Carvalho & Fontes, 1981).
Discussion. Collaria capixaba is similar to C. guaraniana in general coloration, antennae and pubescence of legs. Collaria capixaba can be distinguished by the smaller size, head spots, male genitalia with a large sclerite above secondary gonopore, and the long sclerite with spicules on basal and median regions.
