Etymology: The specific epithet is a noun in apposition composed of the adjective rectus (straight) and the noun acia (thread). It alludes to the straight filiform ventral structure in the internal sac of the aedeagus.

Description: Body length 2.3–3.0 mm; length of forebody 1.1–1.5 mm. Habitus as in Fig. 40. Coloration variable: head reddish to black, usually dark-brown to black; pronotum reddish to blackish-brown with paler margins, mostly reddish to reddish-brown; elytra dark-yellowish to dark-brown; abdomen uniformly reddish to blackish with the margins of the tergites and the apical segments reddish; legs yellow to reddish-yellow; antennae darkreddish to dark-brown with the basal 2–3 antennomeres yellowish to pale-reddish.

Head wedge-shaped; punctation fine and dense; interstices with distinct microreticulation. Eyes flat, approximately as long as postocular portion of head in dorsal view. Antenna approximately 0.6 mm long; antennomeres IV as long as broad or weakly transverse, V–X of gradually increasing width and increasingly transverse, VIII–X nearly twice as broad as long.

Pronotum approximately 1.35–1.40 times as broad as long and approximately 1.7 times as broad as head; punctation dense, more distinct than that of head; interstices with microreticulation.

Elytra approximately as long as pronotum, or shorter; punctation dense, more distinct than that of pronotum; interstices with superficial microreticulation. Hind wings fully developed. Metatarsomere I longer than the combined length of metatarsomeres II–IV.

Abdomen: punctation fine and dense, nearly as dense on tergite VII as on anterior tergites; microreticulation very shallow, often extensively obsolete, especially on posterior tergites; posterior margin of tergite VII with palisade fringe; posterior margin of tergite VIII strongly convex.

: posterior margin of sternite VIII strongly convex; median lobe of aedeagus (Figs 41–50) approximately 0.30–0.33 mm long; ventral process straight and apically truncate in lateral view, slender and apically convex in ventral view; crista apicalis very small and sinuate; internal sac with straight filiform apico-ventral structure (“fs” in Fig. 48) and with pair of slender and weakly sclerotized spines; paramere (Fig. 51) 0.45–0.50 mm long; apical lobe weakly dilated basally, approximately three-fourths as long as basal portion.

: posterior margin of sternite VIII convex; spermatheca (Figs 52–54) with moderately long and rather stout proximal portion and with relatively large bell-shaped apical cuticular invagination.

Intraspecific variation: This species is subject to pronounced intraspecific variation especially of size, coloration, and wing length, but also of other external characters such as punctation and microsculpture.

Comparative notes: Based on the similar general structure of the male and female primary sexual characters, O. rectacia is most closely allied to O. kuehnelti , from which it differs by on average slightly smaller body size, on average darker coloration, and particularly by the smaller median lobe of the aedeagus with a straight filiform apico-ventral structure and the pair of internal spines of different shapes, as well as by the absence of a dark subapical structure of the basal portion of the paramere.

Distribution: The distribution ranges from the Pelopónnisos and the southwest of mainland Greece across Crete, Karpathos, some South Aegean islands, South Anatolia, and Cyprus to the Middle East ( Syria, Lebanon, North Israel) ( Maps 1 , 6 ).

The habitat requirements are evidently very similar to those of O. fusina , O. nova , and O. kuehnelti . The material was sifted from leaf litter, grass roots, moss, and other debris in various types of forest (deciduous, mixed, coniferous; floodplain) and shrub (phrygana) habitats, as well as on stream banks. The altitudes range from 210 to approximately 2000 m. The specimens were found in March (16 records), April (93), May (8), June (5), July (3), October (2), and December (8).

Scale bars: 40: 1.0 mm; 41–47, 51–54: 0.2 mm; 48–50: 0.1 mm.
