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 B) and sometimes with an orange band also across basal third, as in holotype ( Fig. 33 A). Theca lamellate, sinuate in lateral aspect, apical half straight, slender, weakly tapered to rounded tip ( Fig. 4 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 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.
