Etymology
I have pleasure in naming this species after my colleague Dr David Oram.
Material examined
Holotype
BRAZIL • ♀; Tainhas , R[io] G[rande] do Sul; Apr. 1959; F. Plaumann leg.; FMNH. Paratypes
BRAZIL • 5 ♀♀; same collection data as for holotype; one mounted verso; MMUE, BMNH.
Description
SIZE. Habitus ( Fig. 99A View Fig ), length 0.92 mm.
COLOUR. Dark yellow brown, shining, antennae, legs and pubescence yellow.
HEAD. Linear depression behind the eyes with a small median interruption, width across eyes 0.24 mm; antennomeres III–XI length 0.44 mm, III–IX length 0.21 mm, X–XI length 0.23 mm; mentum as Fig. 4B. View Fig
PRONOTUM. Length 0.24 mm, width 0.35 mm, sparsely pubescent, shallowly foveolate at base, without foveae; sides sharply angled, concave to acute hind angles, straight to rounded front angles, strongly bordered the border not continuing along the posterior margin, emargination opposite scutellum with sinuous angles ( Fig. 99B View Fig ).
ELYTRA. Length 0.59 mm, width 0.45 mm, pubescence a little denser than pronotum. MESOVENTRITE. Collar with a short broad median extension; mid-keel short, widest anteriorly, the angles joining with the collar to form two irregular depressions, the hind angles not reaching the mesocoxal anterior borders, raised medially with a strongly sculpted extension bearing ± eight setae; keel narrow, parallel-sided with rounded termination between the mesocoxae; mesoventral lateral margins with rounded convex extrusion at the posterior angle, without serrations; humeri sharply toothed ( Fig. 99C View Fig ).
METAVENTRITE. Length 0.17 mm, disc simple, width between spines 0.11 mm; margins of mesocoxal borders serrate.
WINGS. Macropterous.
GENITALIA. Female spermatheca globular slightly distorted.
Remarks
One of the five Brazilian species in this group. Distinguished by the bulbous angle of the mesoventral lateral margins.
