The Ozophora of Panama, with Descriptions 
of Thirteen New Species 
(Hemiptera, Lygaeidae) 


JAMES A. SLATER! 


ABSTRACT 


The Ozophora fauna of Panama is analyzed. 
Twenty-one species are discussed of which 13 are 
described as new (attagenis, baliocoris, brunnea, 
englemani, festiva, maculosa, notabilis, parva, ro- 


busta, scutellata, singularis, versicolor and villosa). 
A key is included to all species. Eight species are 
illustrated by dorsal views and 17 by anatomical 
details, chiefly of the male genitalia. 


INTRODUCTION 


The Neotropical Ozophora fauna is very 
rich and contains many undescribed species. 
Panama, lying as it does at the crossroads of 
South and Central America, has a particu- 
larly large number of species. Panama has 
also been collected more extensively than has 
any other area of comparable size and di- 
versity in the Neotropics. 

Because of the complexity of the taxon and 
the inadequacy of material from South 
America, a complete revision of the genus 
Ozophora will not be finished for some time. 
This paper is presented to make known a 
considerable number of previously unde- 
scribed species and to provide a means of 
readily identifying Panamanian specimens. It 
should be of more general use as it includes 
most of the species known to occur in Central 


America and many of the more common and 
widely distributed ones from northern South 
America. 

The phylogeny of the genus has not been 
analyzed and the distributions of most species 
will remain only partially known. Neverthe- 
less, the extensive collecting in Panama par- 
ticularly in recent years. by Drs. Engleman 
and Wolda makes it possible to make a few 
observations on the Ozophora fauna. 

Of the 21 species of the genus now known 
from Panama nine (43%) also occur in Cen- 
tral America, five (24%) are known only from 
Panama and one (5%) occurs in Panama and 
South America. Of those that are found in 
Central and South America as well as in Pan- 
ama most appear to occur only in northern 
South America. One can hypothesize from

this that the majority of species of Ozophora 
in Panama may have been derived from Cen- 
tral America. 

Nothing of significance can be said of the 
five species known only from Panama as none 
are known from more than a few specimens. 

Perhaps the most striking feature of the 
Panamanian fauna is its evident segregation 
into essentially lowland and montane ele- 
ments. Such species as festiva, notabilis, ver- 
sicolor, and singularis appear to be essentially 
montane in the Chiriquis. Some are not ex- 
clusively so as versicolor has been collected 
in the Canal Zone and Darién, and singularis 
in the Canal Zone. Ozophora attagenis is 
known only from Cerro Campana (as is mac- 
ulata) in Panama. By contrast baliocoris, 
atropicta, englemani, consanguinea, conca- 
va, parapicta, brunnea, and scutellata are 
known either exclusively from or chiefly from 
the lowlands. | 

Very little is known about the biology or 
even the habitats of Panamanian Ozophora. 
The great majority of specimens studied have 
been taken at lights. Such species as para- 
picta, atropicta, and consanguinea are known 
to feed on fallen seeds of Ficus spp.

macula at the apex of the corium, broad dark 
rays on the pronotum, relatively inconspic- 
uous basal white ring on the fourth antennal 
segment and the conspicuous bands and spots 
on the femora are all quite distinct features. 
This species appears to me to be most closely 
related to O. baliocoris despite the presence 
of an abdominal stridulitrum in baliocoris 
(see discussion below). In addition to the lack 
of any indication of a stridulitrum in atta- 
genis it may be readily separated from balio- 
coris by the lack of pale scutellar spots, lack 
of a pale median vitta on the posterior pro- 
notal lobe, irrorate membrane and the much 
shorter, less contrasting pale annulus on the 
fourth antennal segment. 


Ozophora baliocoris, new species

DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by the lunate strid- 
ulitrum on the abdominal sterna, carinate lat- 
eral margins of the posterior pronotal lobe 
and pale median stripe on the posterior pro- 
notal lobe and the scutellum. 

DESCRIPTION: Head, anterior pronotal lobe 
(including lateral margins), three irregular 
looplike rays on posterior pronotal lobe, 
ground color of scutellum dark red brown to 
chocolate brown becoming paler on tylus.

side of midline. A narrow pale median lon- 
gitudinal stripe running almost entire length 
of pronotum but terminating well before pos- 
terior margin. Posterior pronotal lobe with a 
large yellow spot on either side of midline 
immediately behind transverse impression; 
posterior margin scalloped yellow and diag- 
onal yellow streaks present posteriorly mid- 
way between meson and margin. (Posterior 
lobe essentially composed of three large dark 
vittae with pale areas between). Scutellum 
with a pale median stripe except on proximal 
fourth, a light testaceous spot present on either 
side of midline near middle, apex white. 
Hemelytra chiefly pale testaceous, clavus al- 
most entirely so, corium with dark brown 
areas as follows: around pale elliptical spot 
at inner corial angles; a large macula at apex 
of corium (but with extreme apex pale) and 
a narrow dark macula along lateral margins 
at level of distal end of claval commissure.

17). Posterior pronotal margin slightly sin- 
uate, posterior pronotal lobe moderately 
raised above calli of anterior lobe. Length 
pronotum 1.10, width 1.68. Length scutel- 
lum 0.94, width 0.90. Hemelytra with lateral 
corial margins conventionally concave at level

There is very little variation in the type 
series. In several specimens the pale median 
pronotal stripe is absent or obsolete on the 
anterior lobe, the entire lobe being a dark red 
or chocolate brown. 

This is a remarkable species and illustrates 
strikingly some of the difficulties of estab- 
lishing relationships in Western Hemisphere 
Ozophorini. The lunate abdominal striduli- 
trum is the defining character for Scudder’s 
Lygofuscanellus, yet the species otherwise is 
similar to several species of Ozophora with- 
out a stridulitrum. I must conclude that the 
stridulitrum has evolved independently sev- 
eral times in the Ozophorini as it has in the 
Myodochini (Harrington, 1980). Ozophora 
baliocoris also has a sharp carinate margin 
laterally on the posterior pronotal lobe, a 
character that has in the past been used to 
recognize Peggichisme Kirkaldy as a distinct 
genus. 

Actually in size, shape, general habitus, 
spotted legs, variegated markings, and dark 
coloration of the third antennal segment this 
species closely resembles attagenis which 
lacks a stridulitrum. The membrane of at- 
tagenis is distinctly irrorate, whereas the col- 
or is uniformly dark with white veins and 
white apex in baliocoris. The lack of pale pro- 
notal and scutellar stripes and pale spots on 


SLATER: OZOPHORA 7 


the scutellum of attagenis is distinctive. The 
latter has the spotting and mottling on the 
hemelytra in a quite distinct pattern in which 
the reddish brown apical spot is bordered by 
dark brown. In the present species the apical 
corial macula is uniformly chocolate brown 
with a white apex. The lateral margins of the 
posterior pronotal lobe are noticeably more 
acute in baliocoris. The “‘notched”’ humeral 
angles (fig. 17) are not present in attagenis. 


Ozophora englemani, new species 
Figures 6, 14, 16, 18 


DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by the pale hem- 
elytra, distinctly notched humeral pronotal 
angles, and dark chocolate brown third an- 
tennal segments. 

DESCRIPTION: Head, anterior pronotal lobe 
(including lateral margins), five more or less 
distinct stripes on posterior pronotal lobe (in- 
cluding meson), and scutellum uniformly dark 
red brown. Pronotal collar testaceous. Ele- 
vated laevigate areas of scutellum lighter red- 
dish brown, scutellum white only at extreme 
apex. Hemelytra predominantly pale testa- 
ceous suffused with light brown as follows: 
along claval commissure, a small spot im- 
mediately within radial vein at level of apex 
of scutellum, apical corial macula, corium 
and narrow lateral marking along corial mar- 
gins, immediately posterior to level of distal 
end of claval commissure. Membrane chiefly 
fumose to dark brown with a broad pale tes- 
taceous apex; veins pale proximally. Head 
and thorax below uniformly red-brown, ab- 
domen a brighter reddish brown. Legs nearly 
uniformly pale testaceous. Antennal seg- 
ments one and two uniformly pale testaceous; 
segment three becoming dark brown on distal 
one-half to two-thirds; basal one-third to one- 
half of segment four white, strongly contrast- 
ing with dark distal portion. Dorsal surface 
lacking upstanding hairs. 

Head slightly declivent anteriorly; tylus ex- 
tending anteriorly only to proximal third of 
first antennal segment. Eyes large, covering 
most of lateral head surface. Length head 0.72, 
width 0.86, interocular space 0.36. Pronotum 
with complete transverse impression, lateral 
margins deeply sinuate, humeral angles dis- 
tinctly “‘notched”’ (figs. 16, 18) and acutely 
angled, posterior margin straight. Length

This is a common species at lights in the 
Canal Zone area, but has not been taken in 
the Panamanian highlands. Despite its abun- 
dance in Panama I have seen only a single 
specimen from any other area (Surinam). 

Ozophora englemani is readily recogniz- 
able by its pale hemelytral coloration, 
‘**notched”’ subspinose pronotal humeral an- 
gles, completely dark anterior pronotal lobe, 
dark central stripe on the posterior lobe, 
darkened third antennal segment and ex- 
tremely short metathoracic scent gland au- 
ricle. The ‘“notched’’ pronotal angles and 
darkened third antennal segment suggests re- 
lationship to baliocoris. 

There is surprisingly little variation in the 
long paratype series. The third antennal seg- 
ment is occasionally almost entirely pale, the 
humeral “‘notch”’ is sometimes reduced (but 
always present) and a few specimens have a 
complete, although inconspicuous, trans- 
verse fascia across the hemelytra. 

Dedicated to Dr. Dodge Engleman of Coco 
Solo Hospital, Panama for his important 
contributions to Panamanian hemipterology 
and for his hospitality.

Ozophora festiva is a handsome, brightly 
colored species. It is readily recognizable by 
its usually nearly uniformly pale yellow pos- 
terior pronotal lobe. This pale posterior lobe 
is at most infuscated near the posterior mar- 
gin. Sometimes there is a diffuse dark area 
near the posterior margin mesally as well as 
near the humeral angles. The anterior lobe is 
a strongly contrasting reddish brown with 
yellow calloused lateral margins. 

The paramere is distinctive. It differs from 
other species chiefly by the very broad strong- 
ly arched major tooth (fig. 3). 

Ozophora festiva appears to be most closely 
related to atropicta agreeing with the latter 
in having a pale posterior pronotal lobe, a 
short head with relatively large eyes, similar 
male genitalia and a dark anterior pronotal 
lobe with strongly contrasting pale calloused 
lateral margins. 

Although festiva has an extensive distri- 
bution, from Mexico through Central Amer- 
ica and northern South America to Trinidad, 
in Panama it has thus far been taken only in 
the Chiriqui Mountains.

PARATYPES: 229, same data as holotype ex- 
cept 13.X1.1973 and 29.X1.1973. In J. A. 
Slater collection. 

The paratypes do not differ in any appre- 
ciable way from the holotype other than in 
having a small dark brown spot near each 
humeral angle. 

This very distinctive species resembles 
scutellata, new species in size, possession of 
a completely pale laevigate posterior half of 
the scutellum, very slender forefemora, scent 
gland auricle shape, dark central macula on 
the posterior pronotal lobe and dark third 
antennal segment. However, the conspicu- 
ously hirsute dorsal surface and single fore- 
femoral spine readily distinguish it. Ozo- 
phora scutellata also has a very much longer 
first antennal segment and the hemelytra have 
a strongly contrasting dark and light color 
pattern in contrast to the almost uniformly 
pale hemelytra of maculosa. 

Ozophora maculosa appears to be a scarce 
species in Panama for, despite the abundance 
of light trap material available for study, it 
is known only from the type locality. 


Ozophora villosa, new species 


DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by its small size, 
hirsute dorsal surface and large dark trans- 
verse fascia across the hemelytra. 

DESCRIPTION: Head, anterior pronotal lobe 
(except pale yellow anterior collar), basal one- 
half and mesal area of distal half of scutellum 
bright reddish brown. Ground color of re- 
mainder of dorsal surface bright yellow 
marked with light to nearly chocolate brown 
as follows: narrow median stripe through 
posterior pronotal lobe; macula on humeral 
angles; an irregular spot on clavus adjacent 
to apex of scutellum; a small spot on corium 
at approximately same level lying just within 
radius; an irregular, mesally broadening, dark 
brown transverse fascia across central area of 
corium; a broad subapical corial macula and 
ground color of membrane (veins of mem- 
brane in part pale yellow). Apex of scutellum 
white. Legs and antennae yellow with distal 
ends of third antennal segments, a subdistal 
band on middle and hind femora, proximal 
and distal bands on tibiae and third tarsal 
segments brown. Pleural and ventral surfaces 
of head and thorax dark reddish brown. Ab-

Although described from a single specimen 
this species appears to be quite different from 
any of the species of Ozophora that has elon- 
gate upstanding hairs on the dorsal surface 
of the body. 

In size it most closely resembles maculosa 
new species from which it may be distin- 
guished by the characters given in the pre- 
ceding key.

This small species is quite distinctive and 
easily recognized by the dark first antennal 
segment, the completely dark chocolate brown 
third antennal segment and the unusual scu- 
tellar markings wherein the usual diagonal 
pale striping is confluent mesally to form a 
large calloused ““Y.” 

In several of the paratypes the second an- 
tennal segment is completely pale yellow and 
the central stripe on the posterior pronotal 
lobe is completely dark and widened poste- 
riorly as it is in maculosa. There are three 
forefemoral spines present in several speci- 
mens. Frequently the sublateral pronotal 
stripes meet the humeral spot posteriorly.

NO. 2765 


This species is very closely related to caroli 
Slater and Baranowski which thus far is 
known only from southern Florida. The two 
species agree in most details of structure and 
color. Ozophora notabilis may be most readi- 
ly distinguished from caroli by its relatively 
much longer fourth antennal segment. In no- 
tabilis this segment is considerably more than 
three times the interocular space, whereas in 
caroli it is less than three times the interoc- 
ular space. 

In the Ashlock collection are two males and 
a female from Cerro Campana (8.V.1973, P. 
D. Ashlock) which have the body surface dull 
rather than subshining, lack dark distal col- 
oration on the second antennal segment and 
have the posterior pronotal lobe extensively 
dark reddish brown. These specimens may 
ultimately prove to represent a distinct species 
but are provisionally placed with notabilis for 
the present. 


Ozophora brunnea, new species 
Figures 5, 13 


DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by its nearly uni- 
formly chocolate brown coloration, very short 
but evident dorsal pubescence and bizarre 
down curved finger-like projection on the 
paramere. 

DESCRIPTION: Body relatively robust. Gen- 
eral coloration chiefly dark chocolate to dull 
brown, pale areas very much obscured al- 
though general Ozophora pattern (such as that 
described for notabilis and festiva) is dis- 
cernible. Head, anterior pronotal lobe (ex- 
cluding testaceous anterior collar but includ- 
ing lateral margins) uniformly dark chocolate 
brown. Posterior pronotal lobe dark, five 
darker rays present but obscurely differen- 
tiated from remainder of disc surface, meson 
pale. Apex of scutellum white. Hemelytra with 
paler areas infuscated except along lateral 
corial margins, a subdistal spot scarcely at- 
taining radial vein and extreme apex of cori- 
um. Membrane completely dark gray with 
exception of basal portions of three outer 
veins. Head and thoracic sterna and pleura 
dark red-brown nearly black. Abdomen 
brighter red-brown. Legs including last tarsal 
segment uniformly bright yellow. Femora 
with an obscure subdistal band. First anten- 
nal segment reddish brown, second and third 


1983 


segments testaceous with distal ends dark 
brown, fourth segment with a broad con- 
spicuous proximal white annulus, remainder 
of segment dark chocolate brown. Dorsal sur- 
face with a number of very short upright hairs 
present (easily overlooked). Abdomen mesal- 
ly with numerous elongate hairs present. 

Head slightly declivent anteriorly, eyes set 
somewhat away from anterolateral pronotal 
margins. Length head 0.84, width 1.02, in- 
terocular space 0.42. Pronotum sinuate lat- 
erally; transverse impression complete, but 
shallow mesally; posterior margin slightly 
sinuate not notably concave; humeral angles 
rounded. Length pronotum 1.22, width 1.74. 
Scutellum slightly excavated mesally at base 
with a low proximally dividing carina. Length 
scutellum 1.04, width 0.92. Hemelytra with 
lateral corial margins slightly concave. Length 
claval commissure 0.86. Midline distance 
apex clavus-apex corium 1.42. Midline dis- 
tance apex corium-apex membrane 1.10. 
Metathoracic scent gland auricle short, 
straight, not curved posteriorly. Forefemora 
elongate, slender, scarcely incrassate, armed 
below on distal third with two sharp spines 
followed proximally by four or five hairlike 
spines. Labium extending well between or 
slightly exceeding mesocoxae. Length labial 
segments I 0.86, II 0.78, HI 0.56, IV 0.42. 
Antennae terete. Length antennal segments I 
0.82, IT 1.76, II 1.48, IV 1.82. Total length 
6.08. 

Paramere bizarre, with a broad shaft; very 
elongate finger-like down curved inner pro- 
jection; inner “tooth” bluntly finger-like and 
bent at nearly right angles to transverse width 
of paramere. Basal attachment area produced 
upward from surface of paramere as a broad 


flap (fig. 5). Sperm reservoir with cup egg- . 


shaped, wings broad on inner surface, mark- 
edly tapering distally, strongly recurved up- 
ward on outer margin and recurved at tip.

This appears to be a rather common species 
in the Canal Zone of Panama. It is readily 
separable from most other species of Panama 
Ozophora by the dark coloration. It does have 
upstanding dorsal pubescence but the hairs 
are very short and inconspicuous and appar- 
ently easily abraded and thus can be readily 
overlooked. The paramere is quite unique. 

Ozophora robusta 1s a similarly colored and 
probably closely related species, but it is less 
elongate than brunnea and has longer and 
more densely placed dorsal pubescence than 
does brunnea. Ozophora brunnea may also 
readily be separated from robusta by the much 
longer first antennal segments. In brunnea the 
first antennal segment is more than one and 
three-fourths times as long as the interocular 
width, whereas in robusta it is less than one 
and one-half times as long. 


Ozophora robusta, new species 
Figure 21 


DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by the stout body, 
dark brown coloration, short, dense, dorsal 
pubescence and relatively short first antennal 
segment. 

DESCRIPTION: Body stout, broad, robust. 
General coloration as in /festiva. Clothed 
above with elongate upstanding testaceous 
hairs. Dorsal surface appearing “‘powdery” or 
subpruinose apparently due to a thick mat- 
ting of extremely minute short hairs.

This must be a very rare species as despite 
the large number of specimens received from 
Panama these are the only specimens of ro- 
busta seen. This species is probably closely 
related to brunnea from which it may be sep- 
arated by the relatively short first antennal 
segment and other characters as discussed 
under the latter.

This is a very distinctive species externally 
as well as in the unusual modification of the 
male phallus. The dark coloration on some 
specimens is so extensive as to reduce the 
light markings to a series of small orange spots. 
The pruinose surface is quite different from 
most other species of Ozophora. 

One of the “Biologia” specimens has a la- 
bel “Davilana concava Dist.” probably in 
Uhler’s handwriting. 


Ozophora pallescens (Distant) 
Davila pallescens Distant, 1893, p. 395. 


Ozophora pallescens was originally de- 
scribed from Panama from a series taken at 
Volcan de Chiriqui 2000-6000 feet and from 
Caldera. The lectotype male (fixed by Scud- 
der 1967) is labeled “Volcan de Chiriqui 
2000-3000 feet Champion.” It has subse- 
quently been reported from Florida, Mexico 
and numerous islands of the West Indies. We 
have not seen authentic material from Mex- 
ico and all of the West Indian and Florida 
records pertain to other species (Baranowski 
and Slater in press). The species does occur 
in other countries in both Central and South 
America. 

(See discussion under Ozophora parva for 
distinguishing characteristics.)

DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by the very small 
size, lack of dorsal pubescence, presence of 
only two fore femoral spines, and bilobed 
projections on the inner tooth of the para- 
mere. 


SLATER: OZOPHORA 23 


DESCRIPTION: Body small, elongate. Head, 
anterior pronotal lobe (including lateral mar- 
gins) and five prominent rays on posterior 
lobe (including meson), pleural and ventral

red-brown maculae in pattern as in notabilis 
and versicolor. Membrane gray-brown with 
strongly contrasting pale yellow veins; distal 
end without a prominent white macula. Legs 
including third tarsal segments uniformly pale 
yellow. First antennal segment bright reddish 
brown; second, distal one-third of third and 
fourth segments dark chocolate brown; prox-

ytra with lateral corial margins convention- 
ally slightly sinuate. Length claval commis- 
sure 0.68. Midline distance apex clavus-apex 
corium 1.10. Midline distance apex corium- 
apex membrane 0.94. Metathoracic scent 
gland auricle short, straight, not curving pos- 
teriorly. Forefemora slender, armed below

distinctive particularly by the modification 
of the inner “tooth” into a broad bilobed 
projection. The narrow small blade is also 
quite distinctive. 

The size and presence of only two forefem- 
oral spines indicates that this a member of 
the pallescens complex. From pallescens it 
may be distinguished by the remarkable par- 
amere. Externally pallescens has the median 
area of the posterior pronotal lobe pale, a pair 
of divergent oblique yellow stripes on the scu- 
tellum, a largely pale yellow membrane and 
it lacks a conspicuous transverse dark fascia 
across the corium.

and O’Donnell 
Figure 24 


Ozophora maculata Slater and O’Donnell, 1979, 
p. 167. 


This species was originally described from 
Mexico, Guatemala and Arizona. 

The elongate strongly posteriorly curving 
metathoracic scent gland auricle is diagnos- 
tic. In both the Panamanian specimens listed 
below the inner apical corial angle has a large 
pale spot present. The Slater and O’Donnell 
(1979) illustration shows this area completely

dark and then states this latter condition is 
most common. I have also examined a very 
dark specimen from Honduras.

This is a widespread member of the /ati- 
cephala complex. It was originally described 
from Mexico, Honduras, Venezuela, Peru, 
Bolivia, and Panama. The Panamanian rec- 
ord was based on a single female from Rovira 
(Chiriqui Province).

lection. 

The Slater and O’Donnell (1979) key and 
discussion is somewhat misleading in em- 
phasizing the dark median longitudinal stripe 
on the posterior pronotal lobe. Although it is 
true that such a stripe is present in many 
specimens, it is also frequently obsolete, often 
absent. The size, lack of a prominent proxi- 
mal pale annulus on the fourth antennal seg- 
ment, short metathoracic scent gland auricle, 
paramere shape and relatively long antennal 
segments are diagnostic (see Slater and 
O’Donnell, 1979). Pale specimens of macu- 
lata are very similar in appearance but may 
be recognized by the elongate posteriorly 
curving scent gland auricle. 


Ozophora costaricensis Slater

This species was originally described from

spicuous pale annulus basally on the rela- 
tively short fourth antennal segment, the pale

Ozophora consanguinea (Distant) 
Davila consanguinea Distant, 1893, p. 395. 


This species was originally described from 
Mexico and Guatemala and subsequently re- 
ported by Uhler (1894) from Grenada (prob- 
ably in error). Van Duzee (1916) synony- 
mized consanguinea with picturata Uhler. It 
was raised from synonymy by Sweet (1967) 
and in the same paper he elevated Peggi- 
chisme Kirkaldy to valid status from syn- 
onymy with Ozophora and transferred con- 
sanguinea to Peggichisme. Ashlock and Slater 
(1982) return Peggichisme to status as a ju- 
nior synonym of Ozophora. 

Ozophora consanguinea can be readily dis- 
tinguished from most other Panama species 
by the sharply acute knifelike lateral margins 
of the posterior pronotal lobe. It is a rather 
large dark species somewhat variable in color 
with an elongate white fourth antennal an- 
nulus, a dark clavus, a complete broad trans- 
verse hemelytral fascia and usually a dark 
scutellum (in a few lighter specimens pale 
scutellar macula are present). 

The distribution is much more extensive 
than the literature indicates (although it is 
possible that more than one species is in- 
volved). In addition to the Panamanian rec- 
ords listed below I have examined specimens 
from U.S.A. (Texas), Mexico, Costa Rica, 
Venezuela, Guyana, Honduras, El Salvador, 
Belize, Trinidad, Brazil, and Nicaragua.

Figure 25 


Ozophora atropicta Barber, 1939, p. 356. 
Ozophora heydoni Barber and Ashlock, 1960, p. 
119. 


This is a very common species in Panama. 
It is readily recognizable by the (generally) 
pale posterior pronotal lobe, the dark anterior 
lobe with strongly contrasting lateral mar- 
gins, the broad head and the conspicuous pale 
streaks on the scutellum. It is similar in ap- 
pearance to O. parapicta Slater and Hassey 
but has a subshining rather than pruinose 


NO. 2765 


dorsal surface and parapicta lacks the diag- 
onal pale scutellar streaks. 

Slater and Hassey (1981) have discussed 
the geographic variation in this wide-ranging 
species. They report it from the Bahamas, 
Cuba, Hispaniola, Mexico, Honduras, Costa 
Rica, Venezuela, Trinidad, Brazil, and Pan- 
ama. 

The Panama localities listed by Slater and 
Hassey (ibid) are as follows: Barro Colorado 
Island; Coco Solo Hospital; Fort Sherman, 
Las Cumbres, Rio LasLajas near Coronado 
Beach; Rio Hato; Cocle; Rovira; Fort Ama- 
dor and Trinidad River. 

Most specimens were taken at light. Slater 
and Hassey (1981) report an adult under F7- 
cus sp. on Barro Colorado Island. — 


Ozophora parapicta Slater and Hassey 


Ozophora parapicta Slater and Hassey, 1981, p. 
257. 


This is a large pale testaceous to reddish 
brown species. It resembles atropicta Barber 
but is more elongate and slender, has a com- 
plete dull pruinose dorsal surface and lacks 
a pair of diagonal pale streaks on the scutel- 
lum. This last feature is a readily observable 
and apparently definitive difference. 

Slater and Hassey (1981) reported a breed- 
ing population in Ficus seed litter on Barro 
Colorado Island. They described the fifth in- 
star nymph. 

The holotype was described from Barro 
Colorado Island and Panamanian paratypes 
were from Barro Colorado Island and Coco 
Solo Hospital. 

It is also known from Guatemala, Vene- 
zuela, and Trinidad. 


Ozophora concava (Distant) 
Davila concavus Distant, 1893, p. 395. 


This species was originally described from 
Panama, Guatemala and Mexico. 

It is a large, boldly marked species and 
readily distinguishable by the numerous long 
upstanding hairs on the dorsal surface and 
other characters as given in the preceding key. 

Subsequent to the original description it 
has been reported from Arizona, Florida, Ja- 
maica and Puerto Rico but none of these rec- 
ords actually belong to concava. It is, how-
