Orthorapha View in CoL (s.s.) laeta Jacobi
Orthorapha laeta Jacobi, 1921: 23 .
Orthorapha cassidioides var. nigra Schmidt, 1931: 66 (new synonymy).
Diagnosis. Head and dorsum black; hind wings absent. Tip of head dark brown, or (in palest form) head entirely ferruginous, with median line of notum brown; metathorax and hind coxae orange, abdomen and hind legs dark brown. Tegmina broadly rounded at tip, usually boldly marked with orange on apical quarter of tegmina ( Fig. 33 View FIGURE 33 B) and sometimes with an orange band also across basal third, as in holotype ( Fig. 33 View FIGURE 33 A). Theca lamellate, sinuate in lateral aspect, apical half straight, slender, weakly tapered to rounded tip ( Fig. 4 View FIGURES 3 – 17 A). Length: male 5.7 mm, female 5.7–6.0 mm. Width across pronotum: 2.2–2.4 mm.
Type. Holotype of laeta , male, [ BRAZIL: Pará]—Obidos? [sic]; in SMFT. Holotype of nigra, male, BRAZIL: Rio de Janeiro —Itatiaya (in Académie Polonaise des Sciences, Institut Zoologique, Warszawa; not examined).
Additional material. Seven females from BRAZIL: Santa Catharina —Corupa, Rio Natal and Rio Vermelho, in AMNH and CNC.
Remarks. The orange-and-black pattern is variable ( Fig. 33 View FIGURE 33 A–B) in three short series. The small size (5 mm) and entirely black wings associate the male holotype of nigra with the dark variety of this species.
