Orasema reburra
n. sp.
urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:2E0FE42B-5AFA-4772-A21F-81BAA2852D3B (
Figs 26–29
)
Diagnosis.
Most of body, including petiole but not eyes, with long setae (
Figs 26, 28
). Petiole slightly expanded laterally near midlength, with one or two dorsal longitudinal carinae (
Fig. 29
).
Orasema reburra
is the only known species with a dark brown metacoxa (
Figs 26, 29
). Distinguished from
O. caesariata
, the only other species with long setae, by absence of setae from the eye, and by the more rounded head in frontal view (
Fig. 27
).
Female.
Length,
3.4–4.2 mm
. Head and mesosoma metallic blue to purple; pedicel and anellus pale brown, flagellum dark brown; coxae dark brown, metatrochanters yellow; petiole dark metallic purple to black, gaster dark brown to black.

Orasema reburra
. 26–28, holotype female (UCRCENT00316397): 26, habitus, lateral; 27, head, anterior; 28, mesosoma, dorsal. 29, paratype female (UCRCENT00092181): petiole, dorsal.
Head
subtriangular, 1.4× as long as broad (
Fig. 27
). Face with very shallow longitudinal groove between torulus and eye but lacking surrounding depression; scrobal depression with median carina bordered laterally by broad foveate furrow. Eye bare. Labrum with 9–11 digits. Palpal formula 2-2. Pedicel as broad as F2; flagellum 1.5–1.7× height of head; F2 2.5× as long as broad, F2 1.1× as long as F3.
Mesosoma
(
Fig. 28
) with mesoscutum coarsely areolate-rugose and densely setose, lateral lobe with irregular transverse carinae and finely sculptured area near center. Axilla areolate-rugose; mesoscutellar disc coarsely areolate-rugose, slightly longer than broad, broadly separated from transscutal articulation basally by deep fovea; frenum areolate-rugose. Propodeal disc coarsely areolate-rugose, median carina lacking; callus smooth, with a few long setae. Metafemur with semi-erect long setae, setae denser and decumbent apically. Fore wing 2.3–2.6× as long as broad; stigmal vein 2.0–2.5× as long as broad, perpendicular to anterior margin.
Metasoma
with petiole 1.3–1.4× as long as metacoxa, 2.5–2.6× as long as broad, laterally expanded near midlength, smooth, with 1 or 2 dorsal longitudinal carinae (
Fig. 29
). Hypopygium with few minute setae apically. Ovipositor not visible in available specimens.
Male.
