Schizoptera (Odontorhagus) clodius McAtee and Malloch, 1925 View in CoL

( Figs 2 View FIGURE 2 and 7)

Schizoptera (Odontorhagus) clodius McAtee and Malloch, 1925: 67 View in CoL , 16 (orig. descr.).

Diagnosis. Distinguished among species of Schizoptera (Odontorhagus) by the ovoid body shape, the lack of a fuscous patch, and the tapering lateral process of the subgenital plate.

Holotype: PANAMA: Canal Zone : Paraiso, 9.03333 ° N 79.625 ° W, Apr 11, E.A. Schwarz, Holotype, 1Ƌ (00028602) ( USNM) GoogleMaps .

Re-description. Male: length: 1.38 mm; body ovoid. COLORATION: general coloration dark brown; fuscous patch absent; Sc+C concolorous with remainder of hemelytra ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 ). SURFACE AND VESTITURE: as in subgeneric description. STRUCTURE: HEAD: slightly rounded in dorsal view ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 ); eyes about 1/2 as wide as synthlipsis. THORAX: as in subgeneric description; hemelytron as in subgeneric description; M2 vein slightly curving anteriorly toward wing margin, anterior membranal cell wedge-shaped. ABDOMEN: as in subgeneric description; stVI withsmall process on posterior margin; subgenital plate distinctly asymmetrical with a u-shaped incision; process of subgenital plate spine-like and point caudally.

Female: Unknown.

Distribution. Known only from the type locality ( Fig. 7).

Discussion. No additional specimens examined matched the description of this species or the holotype, and ventral images of the holotype are unavailable because of specimen mounting; therefore our re-description is solely somatic. For an illustration of the subgenital plate of this species see McAtee and Malloch (1925) Figure 62.
