Etymology. The species is named for the type locality.
Type Material. Holotype male. BRAZIL: Rio Grande do Sul, São Francisco de Paula, FLONA [National Forest ]/ 29 o 25'19̎S 5023'21̎W / 13-I-2007 / Schwertner, C. F. col., depositedat Museude Ciências Naturais ( MCNZ), Fundação Zoobotânica do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil .
Description. Small to medium size ( Table 1 View Table 1 ). Color pale orange ( Fig. 4 View Figs ); antennal segments dark orange; legspredominantly orange. Abdominal venterdensely punctured on median third. Clypeus and mandibular plates subequal in length ( Fig. 33 View Figs ). Antennal segment Inot attaining the apex of mandibular plates; length of segment II almost half of segment III; segment Valmost twice of segment IV. Proportion of antennal segments: I <II <III ≈IV <V. Bucculaeslightly lobate posteriorly. Rostrum attaining metacoxae. Anterior angles of pronotum with small acute projection ( Fig. 4 View Figs ). Anterolateral margins of pronotum straight, emarginated ( Fig. 33 View Figs ). Scutellum as long as wide, spatulate at apex, attaining level of posterior half of connexivum of segment V; disc of scutellum slightly elevated ( Fig. 4 View Figs ).
Male Genitalia. Pygophore subquadrangular ( Fig. 41 View Figs ), dorsal rim uniformly concave over segment X ( Fig. 49 View Figs ). Pygophore ventral rim excavated in an open “V,” posterolateral angles triangular, slightly projecting posteriorly ( Figs. 41 View Figs and 43,49); inferior layer of ventral rim projecting ventrally in a tubercle a little larger thanin O. punctaria , andwell visible inposterior view ( Fig. 49 View Figs ). Ventral wall of pygophore with rounded depressions on each side. Posterior third of segment X with 1 + 1 slightly elevated rounded areas ( Fig. 49 View Figs ).
Distribution. Neotropical Region province ( Fig. 69 View Figs ): Pampa (Chacoan subregion).
Comments. O. flonensis shareswith O. punctaria and O. ventanensis the anterior angles of pronotum each with an acute projection, but in O. flonensis , it is alittle shorter; with O. unidentata the slightly elevated discof the scutellum and the spatulate apex of the scutellum; with O. ventanensis the mandibular plates subequal to clypeusin length. Thestraight anterolateralmarginsof the pronotum, and the pygophore ventral rim excavated in a deep and open “V” are unique characters of O. flonensis .
