Type species, Oromasiphya ornata Townsend, 1927: 249, original designation. Townsend (1936) (key to Masiphyini genera); Townsend (1941) (diagnosis); Thompson, (1963) (comparison with Pseudomasiphya); Guimarães (1966a) (new species); Guimarães (1966b) (biological observation); Guimarães (1971) (catalog); Guimarães (1977) (host-parasite catalog); O’Hara et al. (2020) (checklist).</p><p>Diagnosis. Oromasiphya species share with other members of Masiphyini the following combination of features: parafacial bare; lower facial margin visible in profile below the vibrissal angle; postpronotum with five setae, with middle basal seta positioned anteriorly, forming a triangle with inner and outer basal setae; three strong postsutural supra-alar setae, first postsutural supra-alar seta at least as long as first postsutural dorsocentral seta; aedeagus without epiphallus; distiphallus morphologically complex, membranous with minute structures similar to spines or feathers; pre- and postgonites fused, but slightly separated at the apex; segment 7 + 8 elongated in male. The Oromasiphya species is separated from the other species of Masiphyini by the combination of features: eye bare; palpus, costal seta, and ocellar seta developed; syntergite 1+2 and tergite 3 with a pair of median marginal setae; discal setae present on at least one of the intermediate segments; females have short claws; three katepisternal setae.</p><p>Redescription. Male. Head: eye bare; inner vertical setae well developed and subparallel; outer vertical setae slightly divergent and slim; ocellar setae well-developed and proclinate; five or six convergent frontal setae; upper portion of fronto-orbital plate usually with three or four reclinate orbital setae almost in line with row of frontal setae; the lowest frontal seta near level of lower margin of pedicel; fronto-orbital plate with a few sparse black hairs; parafacial bare; fronto-orbital plate wider than parafacial, the latter narrowing slightly toward gena; facial ridge with setulae on lower one-fourth.</p><p>Thorax. acrostichal setae 3 + 3, posteriormost presutural acrostichal seta near transverse suture; dorsocentral setae 3 + 3; intra-alar setae usually 2+3, anteriormost presutural intra-alar seta near postpronotal lobe, posteriormost presutural intra-alar seta close to transverse suture, and two or three extra setae flanking postpronotal lobe; supra-alar 1 + 3; three postalar setae, posteriormost shorter and setula-like; three katepisternal setae, the ventral one shorter and slightly forward; scutellum with a pair of basal, subapical, apical, and discal setae; subapical scutellar setae longer and slightly divergent, and apical scutellar setae crossed and about half of subapical setae length.</p><p>Wing. Costal seta developed; vein r4+5 setose between half and two-thirds of the way to the crossvein r-m; cell 4+5 open.</p><p>Legs. Tarsal claws longer than tarsomere 5; fore tibia with two posterior setae; mid tibia with two or three strong anterodorsal setae interspersed by smaller setae, two or three posterior setae interspersed by smaller setae, the proximal posterior seta shorter or absent, and one or two ventral setae; hind tibia with irregular row of short and long anterodorsal setae, two larger posterodorsal setae in the middle of a row of smaller setae, and three or four ventral setae on apical half.</p><p>Abdomen. Syntergite 1 + 2 with middorsal depression extending back to its hind margin, with one pair of median marginal, one pair of lateral marginal, and one pair of lateral discal setae; tergite 3 with one pair of median marginal, one pair of lateral marginal, usually one pair of discal, and one pair of lateral discal setae; tergite 4 with a row of marginal setae and a pair of discal setae; tergite 5 with one or two rows of discal setae (the proximal one more irregular) and a row of marginal setae; ventral side of tergite 5 with yellow patch of micro-hairs; ventral side of the tergites with long hairs, thickening from the base to the posterior margin of the tergites; with the exception of O. urbanae, ventral side of abdomen usually with marginal setulae on syntergite 1+2 and tergite 3 and discal setulae on tergite 3.</p><p>Terminalia (Figs. 17–31) usually with tergite 6 short with a few setulae posteriorly, connected with segment 7 + 8 and tergite 5 by narrow intersegmental membranes; segment 7 + 8 elongated and longer than epandrium, with a group of setulae posteriorly, and with one spiracle on each side; anterior epandrial extension not developed and closely connected with segment 7 + 8; sternite 5 with convex anterior margin and V-shaped posterior margin with setulae; sternite 6 sub-symmetrical with long narrow arms, with a strongly sclerotized connection with the inner portion of sternite 5; connection of the sternite 6 with the segment 7+ 8 hinged on both sides, the connection of the right arm wider in ventral view; cercus in profile tapering from base to apex; cerci in posterior view fused medially; surstyli in profile tapering to apex, basal third less sclerotized; aedeagus relatively long; epiphallus absent; distiphallus with a complex membranous apical structure with micro-spines; pre- and postgonites fused, forming a relatively long flat plate with a hook-shaped apex.</p><p>Female. Differs from male in having wider vertex; stronger outer vertical setae; usually two reclinate orbital setae; two proclinate orbital setae; legs with similar chaetotaxy, but stronger than male; more ovate abdomen; tergites 4 and 5 without yellow patch of micro-hairs.</p><p>Comments. Thompson (1963) stated that his new species Pseudomasiphya petiolata is morphologically close to the Oromasiphya species, differing from the latter by the cell r 4+5 closed and short petiolate. He described the adult of this species based on two female specimens, whose terminalia pattern is also similar to that of Oromasiphya . It is quite possible that they are congeneric and that Pseudomasiphya will be synonymized with Oromasiphya when the male of P. petiolata is known.</p><p>The distiphallus apex in this genus is complex, as it is in species of Masiphyini whose male terminalia are known. However, some characteristics are consistently observed in most Oromasiphya species ( O. diamantina Toma &amp; Pinheiro sp. nov., O. guimai Toma &amp; Pinheiro sp. nov., O. mineira Toma &amp; Pinheiro sp. nov., and O. ornata Townsend). These include a dorsal tube with a flap-like structure at its dorsal base, and a pair of ventral tubes featuring sclerotized flaps at their bases. These features are notably absent in O. urbanae Guimarães, which suggests a potentially closer relationship among the first four species. On the other hand, understanding the homology of the distiphallus apex remains unclear when comparing this structure among the Masiphyini species illustrated by Thompson (1963) and Guimarães (1966a), due to significant differences in this structure among the various species.</p><p>Biology. The only known host information was reported by Guimarães (1966 a, b, 1977) for Oromasiphya urbanae in the nymph of Miobantia Giglio-Tos, 1917 (as Antimiopteryx Giglio-Tos, 1927) ( Thespidae). He reported two host molts before and one after larval hatching.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/470D87CAFFFA903CD4DAFCA6FD0DADE3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

470D87CAFFF29033D4DAFC17FDC9AF4F.text	470D87CAFFF29033D4DAFC17FDC9AF4F.taxon	http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/Text	http://rs.tdwg.org/ontology/voc/SPMInfoItems#GeneralDescription	text/html	en	Oromasiphya urbanae Guimaraes 1966	<div><p>Oromasiphya urbanae Guimarães, 1966</p><p>(Figs. 9–11, 13,14, 29–31)</p><p>Diagnosis. Oromasiphya urbanae differs from the other members of the genus by the head and thorax dorsum overall pruinosity yellow or grayish yellow; occiput with yellow hairs; the lowest postocular setula at level of lower fourth of eye; katepimeron haired; abdomen, in male, in ventral view, with yellow patch of micro-hairs on tergites 4 and 5, and abdominal hairs concentrated closer to the yellow patch of micro-hairs.</p><p>Description. Male. Body length: 8.84–10.21 mm, wing length: 7.97–8.12 mm.</p><p>Coloration. Head yellow pruinose, upper portion of occiput varying from slightly yellowish to slightly yellowish gray pruinosity; occiput with yellowish hairs; frontal vitta dark brown; ocellar triangle with yellow pruinosity; apical two-thirds of postpedicel brown; scape, pedicel, and basal one-third of postpedicel orange; palpus yellow; proboscis brown; thorax dorsum dark brown with yellow or slightly yellowish-gray pruinosity; scutum with four black longitudinal stripes, with the same pattern of O. diamantina sp. nov., but with wider stripes and the two stripes outside of the acrostichal rows interrupted near level of second acrostichal postsutural setae; lateral of thorax orange-brown; posterior portion of anepisternum, upper portion of katepisternum, and anterior portion of anepimeron yellow pruinose; proepisternum and proepimeron yellowish gray pruinose; legs brown with gray pruinosity; wing subhyaline; tegula dark brown and basicosta brown; upper and lower calypters light yellow; abdomen, in dorsal view, dark brown with basal two-thirds of tergites 3 and 4 irregular gray pruinose; apical portion of tergite 3 and 4 faint brass pruinoisity viewed from certain angles; abdomen in ventral view with tergite 3 and 4 with gray pruinosity viewed from certain angles.</p><p>Head. Vertex about 0.25x head width in dorsal view; outer vertical setae about 0,37x length of inner vertical setae; fronto-orbital plate with hairs descending near level of base of pedicel; the lowest postocular setula at level of lower fourth of eye; pedicel about 0.45x length of postpedicel; scape about 0.45x length of pedicel; genal and subvibrissal setae about 0.5x vibrissa length, roughly in a continuous line.</p><p>Legs. Mid tibia with four anterodorsal setae, the second proximal one longer and stronger; a row of posterior setae, with two longer setae; and one or two ventral setae, the distal one stronger.</p><p>Abdomen. Tergite 3 without a pair of lateral discal setae; yellow patch of micro-hairs on ventral side of the abdominal tergites 4 and 5; abdominal hairs on ventral side concentrated closer to the yellow patch of micro-hairs than in other species.</p><p>Terminalia. The terminalia (Figs. 29–31) of this species are the most different from the other species described above, mainly in the shape of the cercus, surstylus, and distiphallus. Cercus, in lateral view, with its anterior surface edentate and, in posterior view, rather tapered in the apical half; surstylus, in lateral view, with the posterior surface convex, bearing long hairs, and the anterior surface more straight; distiphallus elongated, more elongated than those of the other species, bearing micro-hairs along almost the entire ventral surface; apical structure of the distiphallus formed by a pair of conical tubes, each tube bearing a small stem with a micro-spine apically and a semi-enveloped membrane covered with micro-spines ventrally.</p><p>Female. Although Guimarães (1966a) initially misdescribed the female head pruinosity color in the holotype, he later corrected it in the comparative diagnosis, describing it as “golden yellow”. The female description given by Guimarães is good, and there is no need to redescribe it. It is worth mentioning two diagnostic characteristics, previously not described by Guimarães, present in both male and female of this species and absent in the other species of the genus: the lowest postocular setula at level of lower fourth of eye and katepimeron haired.</p><p>Comments. The description of the male above was based on three specimens showing a strong resemblance to the female holotype in overall color pattern and chaetotaxy, and they are provisionally assigned to this species.</p><p>Geographic distribution. Brazil (São Paulo: Santo Amaro: Cocaia [previous distribution]; Rio de Janeiro: Itatiaia; Santa Catarina: Nova Teutônia [new distributions]) .</p><p>Type material examined. Holotype female (MZUSP), labeled: “S.P.—Santo Amaro/ Cocaia— H. Urban col.”; “1938”; “35”; “28.739”; “ Oromasiphyia urbani [sic —handwritten]/ J. H. Guimarães det.”; “ Holótipo [pink label]”; “MZOO1557”. [The puparium is pinned together with the adult. Dissection to remove the terminalia was done starting at tergite 5. The terminalia is mounted on a slide].</p><p>Material examined. One male (MZUSP), labeled: “Brazilien/ Nova Teutonia/ 27º 11’ B: 52° 23’ L/ Fritz Plaumann/ xi.19670 [70—handwritten] [on the label’s left side]/ 300-500 m [on the label’s right side]”; “3552” . One male (MZUSP): “Brazilien/ Nova Teutonia/ 27º 11’ B: 52° 23’ L/ Fritz Plaumann/ xii.1960 [0—handwritten] [on the label’s left side]/ 300-500 m [on the label’s right side]”; “3311” . One male (MZUSP): “Itatiaia 800 mt/ 12– [1]933 S. Lopes / ET R. Cunha ”; “4412”. The material (3352) was found dissected, and the structures of the terminalia are strongly diaphanized and softened .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/470D87CAFFF29033D4DAFC17FDC9AF4F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
