Abstract
ABSTRACT A new Mexican species of Oragua Melichar, 1926 (O. balami sp. nov.) is described and illustrated from the Yucatán Peninsula based on specimens collected in Campeche (Campeche City and Castamay) and Yucatán (Ticul and Oxkutzcab) states. The new species is distinguished from other Neotropical species by the following combination of features: body color pale with orange marks on dorsum, head produced with anterior margin broadly rounded; pronotum narrower than head; forewing mottled with large orange spots; abdomen with inconspicuous apodemes; pygofer without appendages and dense long stout macrosetae over surface; aedeagus small, bulbous with one pair of twisted paraphyses with asymmetrical spines. A distribution map of available records of Oragua species recorded from southeastern Mexico is provided and a key to Mexican species is given. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:581F45F6-9177-4C23-B971-EB3DE7FB0F7A
