Diagnosis. Recognized by a transverse stripe between the eyes and pronotum with two rounded brown spots ( Fig. 7 ) and endosoma with long sclerite strongly tapered towards apex with microtrichia in basal and medial regions ( Fig. 43 ). Redescription. Male: (taken from the original description): Similar to female in color. GENITALIA: Parameres: Left paramere sickle-shape with basal sensory lobe almost straight; hypophysis gradually acuminate ( Fig. 30 ), right paramere as in Fig. 30 . Endosoma: long sclerite strongly tapering towards apex with microtrichia in basal and medial regions ( Fig. 43 ); ribbon like sclerite with short lobe or area beneath secondary gonopore covered by small microtrichia ( Fig. 43 ). Female: COLORATION : Brown, with black and brownish areas. Head: Dark brown, with paired transverse markings lateral to longitudinal sulcus and two black spots around of antennal scape; Eye, mandibular plate, maxillary plate and apex of buccula brown; labium brown with black apex; clypeus brown; antennal segments brown. Thorax: Pronotum dark brown; calli and lateral margins pale brown; longitudinal line pale on inner region, disc with two small rounded brown spots on humeral angles; collar pale; proepisternum dark brown with pale margin; scutellum brown with pale-yellow longitudinal line and black spots on margin. Hemelytra brown; ostiolar peritreme with margins pale brown, abdomen brownish. VESTITURE AND STRUCTURE : Head: Antennal pilosity shorter than diameter of segments; antennal segment I slightly shorter than width of head (Table 1) and twice width of II; segment II 3 times longer than I (Table 1). Pronotum: Anterior lobe abruptly narrowed, rugose-punctate with golden, sparse, erect pilosity. MEASUREMENTS: Table 1. Geographical distribution. Only known from its type locality Buenos Aires, Argentina ( Carvalho & Carpintero 1989 ) ( Fig. 106 ). Plant associations . Unknown. Discussion. Collaria manoloi is easily separated from the remaining species of Collaria by the brownish coloration of the body, transversal stripe between the eyes and pronotum with two brown rounded and small spots. C. guaraniana is similar in coloration ( Fig. 4 ), but this species is easily separated from C. manoloi by the bifurcated (Y-shaped) spot on head, antenna with long erect pilosity and hemelytra with distinctive dark brown coloration. Only one paratype was studied and the genitalia was not dissected. Examined material. Type material: Paratype : 1 ♀ ARGENTINA : Buenos Aires, Ezeiza, [ 34°51'15"S ; 58°31'29"W ], ii.1972 , J.&W. Ivie ( MNRJ ).
