Collaria columbiensis Carvalho, 1984: 12 (syn. by Ferreira et al. 2013).
Diagnosis. Recognized by the brown general coloration with black and pale areas, pale V-shaped spot behind sulcus (Fig. 13); distal sclerite of endosoma with a row of about six thick spines (Fig. 48), and posterior wall of female with triangular interramal lobes with short projection in lateroapical margin (Fig. 103).
Redescription. Male: COLORATION: Brown with black and pale areas. Head: Black with transversal Vshaped pale spot posterior to longitudinal sulcus, two pale patches between eyes and two black lateral spots in neck; eye brown; mandibular plate, maxillary plate and apex of buccula, black; labium brown with black apex; clypeus black with pale spot at base; antennal segments brown to black with segment I pale brown. Thorax: Pronotum dark brown; calli and lateral margins black; inner region of calli pale; two black rounded spots on humeral angles; collar and longitudinal line of pronotum pale; proepisternum black with a yellow line in margin; scutellum black with pale longitudinal line. Hemelytra, clavus, corium (internal region), and membrane dark brown; embolium and external region of cuneus, pale; ostiolar peritreme margins pale; abdomen yellowish with a black spot at apex of pygophore. VESTITURE AND STRUCTURE: Head: Antenna with short pilosity, antennal segment I 1.2 times width of head (Table 1), two times width of II; segment II 3 times longer than I (Table 1). Thorax: Pronotum with anterior lobe abruptly narrowed and golden sparse and erect pilosity. MEASUREMENTS: Table 1. GENITALIA: Pygophore: Elongated, apex slightly rounded (Fig. 23). Parameres: Left paramere sickleshape, medial basal sensory lobe clearly convex and ventral margin of basal sensory lobe almost straight, right paramere as Fig. 35. Endosoma: ribbon like sclerite with short lobe or area beneath secondary gonopore covered with microtrichia (Fig. 47), distal sclerite with a row-shaped of about six thick spines (Fig. 47).
Female: Similar to male in color, but slightly longer. MEASUREMENTS: Table 1. GENITALIA: First gonapophysis: With broad apical grooved region (Fig. 69). Second gonapophysis: As in Fig. 79. Dorsal labiate plate with small sclerite caudal to sclerotized rings (Fig. 91). Posterior wall with triangular interramal lobes with short projection in lateroapical margin (Fig. 103). Dorsal structure, covering half of interramal lobes and I-shaped medial process (Fig. 103).
Geographic distribution. Recorded from South America (Colombia, Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina) (Fig. 106) (Carvalho & Fontes 1981).
Plant associations. Poaceae: Echinocloa colonum, Eleusine indica, Digitaria sanguinalis, Panicum maximum, Pennisetum clandestinum (Martínez & Barreto 1998).
Discussion. Collaria scenica is easily distinguished from C. oleosa by the brownish general coloration; head with V-shaped pale spot, distal sclerite row-shaped in male and posterior wall with triangular interramal lobes with short projection in lateroapical margin of female. The type of C. scenica was not examined, but we examined the photographs of a syntype deposited at the Naturhistoriska riksmuseet (Swedish Museum of Natural History) (NHRS), and bears labels with Stål’s handwriting.
