TYPE MATERIAL (EXAMINED): Orectoderus obliquus: LECTOTYPE: Male: [USA] Massachusetts (AMNH _ PBI 00068805) (USNM).
Orectoderus obliquus var. ferrugineous: HOLOTYPE: Female: USA: New York [Suffolk Co.] Bayshore, Long Island [40.725°N 73.24527°W] 5 m, 04 Jul 1915 – 07 Jul 1915, Chris. E. Olsen (AMNH _ PBI 00069138) (USNM). PARATYPE: Female: [USA] New York [Suffolk Co.] Bayshore, Long Island [40.725°N 73.24527°W, 5 m] 04 Jul 1915 – 07 Jul 1915, Chris. E. Olsen (00069139) (USNM). Knight (1923: 475) did not mention the year 1915 in his original description.
Orectoderus ruckesi: HOLOTYPE: Male: USA: Wyoming: Sublette Co.: Green River Lake, Wind River Mountains [42.70856°N 109.12818°W], 01 Aug 1935 – 09 Aug 1935, H. Ruckes (AMNH _ PBI 00069137) (USNM). In the original description of Knight (1968a: 318) the collecting date is recorded as “1–8 Aug, 1935,” on the original holotype label the date reads “ 1–9 Aug 1935.”
DIAGNOSIS: Hemelytra coloration slightly variable. Distinguished from all other species by body length (table 1), length of second antennal segment (table 1); general aspect of pronotum very shiny, and with fine, golden reclining setae (fig. 3); vesica in dorsolateral view strongly curved apically and basally (fig. 5); anterior process of leπ paramere round apically (fig. 6); female with distinct longer second antennal segment than all other species within Orectoderus (table 2), genitalia with sclerotized rings more round (fig. 12) and pronotum, in lateral view, almost flat (fig. 3).
REDESCRIPTION: Male: Total length 6.96–8.45, length apex clypeus-cuneus fracture 5.09– 5.96, width across pronotum 1.62–1.76. COLORATION: Clavus either completely brown or brown with pale narrow band along claval suture; corium either completely brown or brown with pale band along claval suture, usually not reaching to apex of clavus; cuneus either completely brown or brown with basal half pale. SURFACE AND VESTITURE: General aspect very shiny; pronotum and scutellum slightly rugose; pronotal setae golden, shiny, distinctly shorter than diameter of first antennal segment; dorsal surface clothed with golden, shiny setae.
STRUCTURE: Labium reaching to metacoxa. GENITALIA: Vesica, in dorsolateral view, strongly curved (fig. 5); anterior process of leπ paramere bearing distinct long seta on inner surface (fig. 6); right paramere slightly hook shaped apically (figs. 4E, 5).
Female: Total length 5.57–6.18, width across pronotum 0.66–0.80. COLORATION: Head, pronotum, mesoscutum, scutellum, and hemelytra orangish brown or dorsal surface completely black (fig. 3); first tergite black; second tergite with very narrow whitish band proxi- mally; all other tergites black. SURFACE AND VESTITURE: General aspect very shiny; pronotum clothed with fine, golden, shiny reclining setae. STRUCTURE: Calli of pronotum almost flat (fig. 3; lateral view); second antennal segment just slightly gradually inflated distally.
GENITALIA: Sclerotized rings of dorsal labiate plate large, ovoid and slightly pointed apically, with sclerotized spots distally (fig. 12); posterior wall with bifurcate interramal sclerites, almost straight medially (fig. 12).
HOSTS: Artemisia cana, Aster macrophylla (Asteraceae), Symphoricarpos occidentalis, S. oreophilus (Caprifoliaceae), Juniperus communis (Cupressaceae), Kalmia sp. (Ericaceae), Lupinus sp. (Fabaceae), Ribes sp. (Grossulariaceae), Comptonia asplenifolia, C. peregrina (Myricaceae), Cercocarpus montanus, Potentilla fruticosa, Rosa sp. (Rosaceae), Galium boreale (Rubiaceae), Salix sp. (Salicaceae).
DISTRIBUTION: Widely distributed throughout North America (map 3).
DISCUSSION: Uhler (1876) described Orectoderus obliquus based on several specimens from different localities without designating a holotype. The male specimen in the type collection of the USNM (AMNH_PBI 00068805) is designated here as lectotype, for stabilizing the nomenclature. Knight (1923) described O. obliquus var. ferrugineous based on a color variation of the distal part of the second antennal segment and of the globose portion of the abdomen. Comparing the holotype and paratype of O. obliquus var. ferrugineous with females of O. obliquus showed that the mentioned characters can be found in the same form among females of O. obliquus in general, and I am therefore treating O. obliquus var. ferrugineous as junior synonym of O. obliquus, new synonymy. Knight (1968a) described Orectoderus ruckesi based on a single male from Wyoming, mentioning that it is allied to O. obliquus. He distinguished this species from the latter by the nearly flat pronotum. Comparing the O. ruckesi specimen with a series of O. obliquus specimens showed that the pronotal shape and vestiture are essentially the same, and I am therefore treating the former as junior synonyms of the latter, new synonymy.
Among material from Michigan State University was a specimen of Orectoderus labeled as follows: “ Paratype O. nitidulus, det. Hussey, 1953.” Orectoderus nitidulus is an unpublished manuscript name; the specimen clearly is O. obliquus.
The vestiture of this species is characterized by several authors in different ways: Blatchley (1926) and Knight (1941) described the setae of the corium as yellowish hair/pubescent, whereas Kelton (1980) used the term short, black pubescence. In the original description by Uhler (1890) the hemelytra were described as vaguely pubescent.
McIver and Stonedahl (1987b) pointed out that males from east of and in the Rocky Mountains sometimes have completely black hemelytra and that possibly males from western populations have a white mark on the corium.
Knight (1941) mentioned that Orectoderus obliquus is usually associated with grasses and herbaceous plants; it occurs on the ground and is associated with ants. The work of McIver and Stonedahl (1987b) recorded for the first time the biology and the ant mimicry that is highly evolved within the genus Orectoderus. They also recorded the breeding host of obliquus, Penstemon procerus brachycanthus (Pennell) Cronq.
Orectoderus niger was desribed by Reuter (1912), and wrongly listed by Schouteden (1913) for Brazil.
