From
Martins (2014)
:
“species with large head, larger than thorax, without any tubercles on frons of males. Eyes entire. Upper ocular lobes as distant as four times their width. Antennas with eleven segments, longer than body at males and shorter at females; row of internal setae of variable density. Scape subcylindrical, as long as third segment half; apex of scape reaching approximatively anterior quarter of prothorax. Segment III not widened, with sparse setae on internal side, as long as segment IV. Segments V to XI of progressively decreasing length. Segment XI not modified.
Prothorax wider than long and with anterior and posterior width equal (excepted at
O. cephalotes
, wider anteriorly); sides without gibbosity. Pronotum regularly convex. Elytra without carina or with short carina disappearing after half length. Elytral apex rounded. Metafemora sublinear; apex ultrapassing anterior margin of first urosternite. Tarsal claws with internal teeth shorter than external one. Thoracic sterna and sides of urosternites covered with dense pilosity.”
Genus
Olivensa
is represented by three species in the northern part of South America:
O. cephalotes
(Pascoe, 1858)
from
Ecuador
,
Brazil
(
Pará
), and
French Guiana
;
O. megacephala
(
Bates, 1866
)
from
Bolivia
,
Ecuador
,
Brazil
(Amazonas), and
French Guiana
; and
O. mimula
Lane, 1865
, type-species, from
Colombia
and
Brazil
(Amazonas). We propose to add a fourth species, at this time only known from
French Guiana
.
