Description Head: frontal bristles not extending beyond level of pedicel; eyes haired; facial margin not visible in profile; vibrissa arising at level of facial margin; first flagellomere almost reaching facial margin; arista slightly pubescent; facial ridge devoid of bristles; ocellar bristles weak to absent; inner vertical bristles elongate, parallel, in some cases indistiguishable from upper frontal bristles; outer orbitals weak to absent in males, but strong in females; females with two pairs of proclinate orbital bristles. Thorax: chaetotaxy as follows: postsutural supra-alar bristles 3 (2 in U. pannosasp. nov.); acrostichal bristles 2:3; dorsocentral bristles 3:3 (4 in U. venusta); postpronotal bristles 4 or 5; two strong scutellar marginal bristles (except 3 in U. brevicauda); apical scutellar bristles long and decussate; 2-3 katepisternal bristles; propleuron bare; wings smoky gray, in some species with brown markings or bicolored: yellow at base and brownish-black distally; calypters broad, of yellow-amber color, haired marginally; legs black; claws and pulvilli elongate in males. Abdomen: narrowed and elongate, at least twice as long as wide; frequently acutely produced dorsally into a tail-like process; mid-dorsal depression on ST1+2 reaching hind margin of syntergite; T3, T4 and sometimes ST1+2 with one to three pairs of discal bristles; all tergites with marginals. In females, abdomen usually not as elongate as males and with a rounded posterior end.
Diagnosis Uramyais easily distinguished by the following combination of traits: densely haired eyes; facial carina absent; facial ridge bare; parafacial bare (sometimes with a few black setulae in females); ocellar bristles weak to absent; prosternum bare; postpronotum with 4-5 bristles; 3 postsutural supra-alar bristles (2 in U. pannosa); 3 large postsutural dorsocentral bristles (4 in U. venusta); metathoracic spiracle fringed with plumose hairs of about equal size along anterior and posterior edges, leaving a V-shaped mid-dorsal opening; scutellum with 3-4 pairs of strong marginal scutellar bristles (1 pair of basal scutellar bristles, 1-2 pairs of lateral bristles, and 1 pair of subapical bristles), excluding a pair of strong, crossed apicals; vein M sharply angled at bend; abdomen subcylindrical (in males often with T5 dorsally produced into a tail-like structure), with 1-2 pairs of median discal bristles on tergites 3 and 4.
Distribution Nearctic and Neotropical (not known from Chile and southern Argentina)
Ecology According to Arnaud (1978) Uramyaspecies parasitize lepidopteran larvae in the families Limacodidae, Arctiidae, Megalopygidaeand Lasiocampidae. Current data from ACG inventoried larvae confirm this, adding records from the family Dalceridae. Uramyapuparia are asymmetrical as seen in Fig. 2 ( Uramya infractasp. nov.).
