Zuata ohausi (Jacobi) View in CoL , redefined.
Tomaspis ohausi Jacobi, 1908: 215 View in CoL (to Zuata: Fennah, 1968 View in CoL ). Tomaspisinella luteomaculata Lallemand, 1949: 117 View in CoL , syn.nov.
Remarks. The female type of Z. luteomaculata is somewhat darker than the male type of Z. ohausi , and comes from Peru rather than Ecuador, but their size (male 8.5 mm, female 9 mm) and coloration are consistent with normal sexual dimorphism (e.g., in the similarly colored Z. hysginon from Colombia), and their countries of origin are adjacent.
Zuata obrienorum sp. nov.
Etymology. obrienorum (patronym), named in honor of the collectors.
Diagnosis. Each tegmen bears 2 pale spots.
Description. Black with yellow band across anterior half of pronotum and 2 ivory spots on tegmen, basal one across clavus and adjacent corium, distal one across bases of anteapical cells ( Fig. 13 View FIGURES 12 – 13 D). Male pygofer short, with obliquely truncate tip and vertical posterior margin ( Fig. 43 View FIGURES 36 – 45 A); subgenital plates rapidly tapered, ending in tiny spine directed ventrad, separated nearly to base by narrow slit ( Fig. 43 View FIGURES 36 – 45 D); style long, bulbous at midlength, tip narrow and straight; theca recurved with 5 small preapical spines, a strongly curved one just before tip on caudal surface, pair of straight, divergent spines on anterior surface and below these a pair of parallel, retrorse spines with inturned tips. Length: male 5.7 mm, female 6.0 mm, width across eyes 1.6–1.7 mm, across pronotum 1.6–1.7 mm; length of eye 0.5 mm, of side margins of pronotum 0.6 mm.
Type. Holotype male, PANAMA, Cerro Campana , 29 July 1995 (C.W. & L.B, O’Brien) # 725,148 in ILNHS . Paratype, 1 female, same data but #725,147.
Remarks. I take great pleasure in naming this little beetle-like Hemipteran for the husband and wife team (Coleopterist and Hemipterist) who collected these insects and have done so much for entomology over the years.
