Collaria danae Linnavuori, 1974 View in CoL

( Fig. 3 View FIGURES 1 – 8 )

Collaria danae Linnavuori, 1974: 18 View in CoL [n.sp.]; Schuh 2002–2014 [catalog].

Diagnosis. Distinguished by general pale yellowish coloration and clypeus with a black spot ( Fig. 3 View FIGURES 1 – 8 ).

Redescription. Male: COLORATION: Pale yellow. Head: Yellow. Eye and mandibular plate, black; maxillary plate and apex of buccula, brown; labium brown with black apex; anterior region of clypeus with black spot; frons with black adjacent part. Antennal segment I pale and dark apex, II–IV brown. Thorax: Pronotum brown, calli, collar and lateral margins pale brown; inner region of calli with longitudinal pale brown line reaching basal margin of pronotum; proepisternum pale brown; scutellum brown. Hemelytra brown, clavus dark brown, corium pale brown, embolium and external region of cuneus pale, internal and median margins of cuneus and hemelytral membrane brown; ostiolar peritreme with pale brown margins, abdomen yellow and a black spot at apex of pygophore. VESTITURE AND STRUCTURE: Head: Pilosity of antenna shorter than diameter of segment; length of antennal segment I similar to width of head (Table 1), and equal to II; segment II 3 times longer than segment I (Table 1). Thorax: Pronotum with anterior lobe abruptly narrowed ( Fig. 3 View FIGURES 1 – 8 ), with abundant golden long sparse and erect pilosity. MEASUREMENTS: See Table 1.

Female: Unknown.

Geographic distribution. This species is only known from the south region of Côte d'Ivoire ( Ivory Coast) ( Fig. 107 View FIGURE 107 ) ( Linnavuori 1974).

Plant associations. Unknown.

Discussion. Collaria danae resembles C. villiersi but differs by the pale yellowish coloration and a distinctive black spot on clypeus. Only the holotype was studied and the genitalia was not dissected to avoid destroying the integrity of this unique specimen. Nonetheless, color differences allow for its identification. Additional material will help document the genitalia for the species.

Examined material. Type material: Holotype: 1 ³ CÔTE D'IVOIRE ( IVORY COAST): Region des Lagunes, Abijan, Lamto Research Station, [5°20'28''N; 28°01'W], 18.viii.1965, Gillon ( AMNH).
