(Figs 1-7)</p> <p>T y p e m a t e r i a l: Holotype: " Romania, jud. Caraş- Severin, Munţii Almaj, N entry of Cheile Rudǎriei, under Moara Roşoaena (watermill), 420 m / debris, leaflitter stuck at branches in stream, flotation [349], 44°51'51"N, 22°05'59"E, 10.X.2007, Gy. Makranczy / Holotypus Ocalea gyorgyi sp.n. det. V. Assing &amp; H. Terlutter 2008" (HNHM). Paratype [damaged]: 1: same data as holotype (cAss).</p> <p>D e s c r i p t i o n: Body length 4.8-5.0 mm. Habitus as in Fig. 1. Coloration: body uniformly blackish; legs pitchy-brown; antennae dark-brown, with antennomeres I-III slightly paler.</p> <p>Head approximately 1.05 times as wide as long; punctation fine and dense; microsculpture very shallow, almost obsolete; eyes large, somewhat longer than postocular region in dorsal view (Fig. 2). Antennae slender, approximately 1.8 mm long; antennomeres I-III elongate and of subequal length; IV distinctly shorter than III, but almost twice as long as wide; X approximately as long as wide.</p> <p>Pronotum of holotype 1.12 times as wide as long and 1.18 times as wide as head; posterior angles obtuse, but marked; lateral margins in posterior half weakly sinuate in dorsal view (Fig. 2); pubescence directed cephalad along anterior 5/6-6/7 of midline, caudad along posterior 1/7-1/6 of midline, and laterad in lateral portions of disc; punctation dense, similar to that of head; microsculpture indistinct.</p> <p>Elytra approximately 1.1 times as long and 1.5 times as wide as pronotum; posterior margins moderately sinuate near posterior angles (Fig. 2); punctation fine and dense, more defined than that of pronotum; interstices with fine transverse microsculpture; pubescence on disc directed diagonally postero-laterad. Hind wings fully developed.</p> <p>Abdomen approximately 0.8 times as wide as elytra, widest at segments V/VI; tergites III-V with rather deep, tergite VI with shallow anterior impression; punctation fine and rather sparse, somewhat sparser on posterior than on anterior tergites; posterior margin of tergite VII with pronounced palisade fringe; tergites III-VI glossy, with very shallow microsculpture composed of extremely fine transverse striae (visible only at high magnification); tergite VII with slightly more distinct microsculpture composed of long transverse meshes; microsculpture of tergite VIII composed of shorter transverse meshes.</p> <p>: posterior margin of tergite VIII weakly convex, in the middle truncate (Fig. 4); sternite VIII longer than tergite VIII, posterior margin distinctly produced in the middle (Fig. 5); median lobe of aedeagus of highly distinctive morphology, at base of ventral process with a conspicuous pair of acutely triangular processes (Figs 6-7); parameres not distinctive.</p> <p>: unknown.</p> <p>E t y m o l o g y: We dedicate this remarkable species to György Makranczy, Budapest, to whom we owe its discovery.</p> <p>C o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s: Among its European congeners, O. gyorgyi is most similar to O. concolor KIESENWETTER 1847, whose body, including the legs and antennae, is of similarly dark coloration. The new species is readily distinguished from O. concolor, as well as from other congeners particularly by the conspicuous pair of triangular processes at the base of the ventral process, a unique character in the genus.</p> <p>D i s t r i b u t i o n a n d b i o n o m i c s: The type locality is situated in the Munţii Almaj, Caraş- Severin province, southwestern Romania. The specimens were collected from flood debris and leaf litter at a stream at an altitude of 420 m.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/AA343751FFE58374FF75DEEE8BFDFE3D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
