( Figs 2 and 7)

Schizoptera (Odontorhagus) drusus McAtee and Malloch, 1925: 67 , 17 (orig. descr.).

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

Holotype: GUATEMALA: Alta Verapaz: Cacao Trece Aguas , 15.4 ° N 89.75 ° W, Mar 30, Schwarz & Barber, Holotype, 1Ƌ (00028605) ( USNM) .

Re-description. Male: length: 1.5 mm; body ovoid. COLORATION: general coloration dark brown; fuscous patch absent; Sc+C distinctly lighter than remainder of hemelytra ( Fig. 2 ). SURFACE AND VESTITURE: as in subgeneric description. STRUCTURE: HEAD: flat dorsal view ( Fig. 2 ); eyes about 1/2 as wide as synthlipsis. THORAX: as in subgeneric description; hemelytron as in subgeneric description; M2 vein straight, anterior membranal cell triangular. ABDOMEN: as in subgeneric description; stVI with small, tooth-like process on posterior margin; subgenital plate weakly asymmetrical; process of subgenital cylindrical and tapering.

Female: Unknown.

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

Discussion. No additional specimens examined matched the description of this species, and ventral images of the holotype are unavailable because of the way the specimen was mounted; therefore our re-description is solely somatic. For an illustration of the subgenital plate of this species see McAtee and Malloch (1925) Figure 65.
