Subrasaca austera, NEW SPECIES 
FIGURE 392, PAGE 476 
Length of male 6.0 mm. Head with median length of crown approximately 
seven-tenths interocular width and more than four-tenths transocular width, 
crown with a transverse concavity before ocelli; pronotum without rugae; 
scutellum transversely rugulose behind transverse sulcus; forewing with bases 
of anteapical cells proximal to claval apex, texture translucent. Male pygofer 
with posterior margin broadly shallowly convex, macrosetae sparse; style ex- 
tending posteriorly approximately as far as apex of connective; connective 
with median portion much longer than arms; paraphyses V-shaped with arms 
very broad, aedeagus subtriangular in lateral view, without processes. Female 
unknown. 
Ground color of crown, pronotum, and scutellum black, crown with a 
transverse band at midlength, anterolateral margins broadly except muscle 
impressions, and a line bordering each inner eye margin and extending 
mesally a short distance along posterior margin of head, pale; pronotum with 
a narrow transverse arcuate line at midlength and a more anterior oval spot 
on each side, yellow; forewing translucent brown, claval suture bordered 
mesally with an ivory stripe that is interrupted basally, thence continued to 
humeral margin of pronotum; face yellow with a median percurrent clypeal 
stripe, muscle impressions, clypellus, most of lora and adjacent portions of 
genae dark brown to black; legs stramineous. 
Holotype male, Nova Teutonia, Santa Catharina, Brazil, September 25, 
1952 (F. Plaumann) and one additional male, same data except date, October 
15, 1952 (NCS). Holotype on indefinite loan to USNM. 
S. austera, n. sp., is very similar to S. rhienetta (Signoret), from which it may 
be separated readily by the broader rami of the paraphyses and the different 
form of the aedeagus (fig. 392f) in austera.
