(Figs. 5, 28, 41, 85, 97)
Collaria husseyi Carvalho, 1955: 223 [n.sp.]; Carvalho 1959: 284 [catalog]; Schuh 2002–2014 [catalog]. Collaria explicata Carvalho, 1945: 180 [Misidentification, descr.]
Diagnosis. Recognized by the coloration pattern of the head (Fig. 5), antenna with abundant long erect pilosity, spots on hemelytra; endosoma with large sclerite emanating from distal margin of secondary gonopore (Fig. 28) and long sclerite with trichia along entire surface (Fig. 28).
Redescription. Male. COLORATION: Brown with dark brown areas. Head: Yellowish with paired transverse markings laterally to longitudinal sulcus and two black spots on neck; eye black; mandibular plate, maxillary plate, and apex of buccula, yellow; labium yellowish with black apex; clypeus yellow; antennal segments brow. Thorax Pronotum brown, calli and antero-lateral margins black, inner region of calli pale brown; two rounded black spots on humeral angles; collar pale; proepisternum black with pale yellow line on margin; scutellum brown with pale yellow longitudinal line and two pale spots on basal angles. Hemelytra brown with dark brown spot on clavus; pale irregular patches on corium, median region, embolium, and external region of cuneus; internal and median margins of cuneus, and membrane light-brown; ostiolar peritreme with pale brownish margins, abdomen with reddish median spots, and black spot at apex of pygophore. VESTITURE AND STRUCTURE: Head: Antenna with long erect pilosity longer than thickness of antennal segments; segment I approximately as long as width of head (Table 1), twice width of II; segment II, 4 times longer than I (Table 1). Thorax: Pronotum with anterior lobe abruptly narrowed; long, sparse, erect golden pilosity. MEASUREMENTS: See Table 1. GENITALIA: Parameres: Left paramere sickle-shape, right paramere straight (Fig. 28). Endosoma: With large sclerite above on secondary gonopore (Fig. 41); ribbon like sclerite with short lobe beneath secondary gonopore covered with microtrichia (Fig. 41), long sclerite short with spines on surface (Fig. 41).
Female: Similar to male in color and size. MEASUREMENTS: Table 1. GENITALIA: Dorsal labiate as in Fig. 85. Posterior wall with sub quadrate interramal lobes (Fig.85). Dorsal structure covering half of medial process (Fig. 85). Medial process strongly sclerotized and arrow-like (Fig. 85).
Geographic distribution. This species was described from southeastern Brazil (Carvalho & Fontes 1981), and it is newly recorded from southern Brazil (Fig. 106).
Plant associations. Grasses without specific data (Carvalho & Fontes 1981).
Discussion. Collaria husseyi is similar to C. oleosa based on the yellow pale coloration, with dark brown areas, and antenna and legs with abundant long erect pilosity, but differs in having the segment II of antenna 4 times longer than segment I and by the male genitalia with posterior sclerite elongated with short spicules.
