Diagnosis
. Recognized among species of
Ommatides
by males submacropterous with small membrane not reaching tip of abdomen; dorsal lobe of 1st labial segment with apex rounded and with many (~22) short, stout setae; 4th labial segment without armature; abdominal spiracle
8 set
upon membranous tubercle of tergum 8 process. Most similar to
O. pristis
sp. nov.
in the lack of armature on the 4
th
labial segment, but distinguished by being submacropterous, and by the state of spiracle 8.
Description
.
Male
: submacropterous with short membrane not reaching tip of abdomen, length:
1.67 mm
; body ovoid.
COLORATION
: wings and pronotum dark brown; vertex of head yellow; body brown; legs yellow (
Fig. 1
).
SURFACE AND VESTITURE
: dorsal lobe of expanded 1st labial segment with many (~22) short, stout setae; 4th labial segment without armature; forefemur without anterior spicules; 2nd tarsomere of hind leg with 2 stout setae anteroventrally.
STRUCTURE
. HEAD: disc decurrent anteriorly; 1st labial segment strongly expanded dorsally, apex rounded; 2nd labial segment elongate; 3rd labial segment short; 4th labial segment slightly longer than 3rd and unarmed (
Fig. 5
). THORAX: ratio of pronotal collar length to pronotum length 0.29; collar depressed below rest of pronotum (
Fig. 1
); posterolateral margin of pronotum somewhat broadly and shallowly concave; postnotum unknown; ratio of height of forefemur to length of forefemur 0.25; tarsal formula 3-3-3; ratio of length of hind tibia to width of pronotum 1.33; venation of submacropterous forewing as in
Fig. 7
; tc nearly rectangular; dc shaped like a long parallelogram; An1 meeting Cu. ABDOMEN AND GENITALIA: as in genus description (
Fig. 9 A,B
), with abdominal spiracle 8 membranous and separated from sclerotized tergum 8 process (
Fig. 6
).
Female
: unknown.
Etymology
. Patronym derived from the type locality, Pillcopata, of the
holotype
and only known specimen.
Distribution.
Only known from the
type
locality in the foothills of the Andes in Pillcopata,
