Diagnosis.A member of the O. micculariaspecies group with large light orange brown blotches at the apex and the tornus of both wings, distinguished from related species by male genitalia, by the presence of a group of tangled, long spines dorsally to the apex of valva. The apical blotch of the fore wing is broad near costa. See the description of O. micculariaabove. O. pipais the allopatric sister species of O. miccularia, differing from the latter by the more extended patch of spines at the tip of the valva and by the much longer bursa copulatrix.
Description.Wingspan, 15–18 mmin males, 17–21 mmin females (Fig. 27,). The frons is yellowish brown, the fillet white, the vertex yellowish, a red-brown line in between. The male antennae are bipectinate, the external and inner pectinations, on the fifth antennal segment, are 0.5–0.6 and 0.35–0.4 mmlong, accordingly, in males, 0.35–0.5 mmand 0.25–0.35 mmlong in females. The palpi project ahead of the frons by about 0.45–0.6 mm. The thorax is dorsally green, the abdomen mottled rose and whitish. The crests on tergites A1–A5 are reddish brown. The wings are dark green, the marginal blotches are light orange brown with irregular brown irroration. The marginal line is brown on both wings; the marginal blotches are edged by a thin white and a proximal grey line, which protrudes into the white line along some veins. The apical blotch of the fore wing reaches the costa broad and expands along the distal margin of the wing, reaching vein M3, and is connected with the tornal blotch by a narrow connection between the veins M3 and CuA1. The hind wing blotches are continuous along the distal margin of the wing but somewhat narrower than on the fore wing. The discal spots are present on both wings, small, vague, brown or green, sometimes also an anterior white discal dot is present on the hind wing. The fringe is pale brownish, chequered darker at vein ends. Male genitalia (Fig. 61): The socii are rounded, broader than in related species, and the gnathi are hooked. The juxta is short, provided with oval dorso-lateral projections and with a pair of short ventro-lateral projections. The valva is split, its saccular part refolded, with a finger-shaped projection directed dorsally and reaching beyond the costal edge of the valva. The distal part of the valva bears a subapical patch of long, tangled spines, not restricted to the edge as in O. miccularia. The aedeagus is provided with a sclerotized dorsal rib as in O. bifida sp. n.The sternite A8 has two, shallowly rounded lobes at its posterior edge. Female genitalia (Fig. 82): Similar to those of O. bifida sp. n. and O. brehmi sp. n., but the sterigma of O. pipais less broad (1.0– 1.1 mm) than in O. brehmi, with paired, oval, horizontally furrowed lateral sclerites. The ductus bursae (2.0 mm), and corpus bursae (2.0 mm) are very long. The signum is medium-sized (width 0.35–0.45 mm, height 0.2 mm) and bicornute. Genetic data.BIN BOLD:AAG7368 (n=10 from Ecuador, Peru, Brazil). BIN intraspecific variation low in Ecuador, Peruand Bolivia(0.0%), but with a slightly diverging haplotype in Brazil/NW. Para(0.3%). Nearest neighbours: Sister species O. brehmi sp. n.and O. moseri sp. n.(described below), O. miccularia(1.3%). Although O. pipaand O. micculariabelong to the same BIN, O. pipais described here at species rank, as the genetic distance is constant and well correlated to some differential features in genitalia.
Etymology.The species name " pipa" is a free combination of letters, gender feminine.
Biology. Oospila pipais a widespread species in various tropical lowland and montane forests, collected from February to December.
Distribution. Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, western Brazil(north-western Amazonas), possibly also prov. Para, requiring confirmation by dissection.
