Etymology
Named after the village of Sevogle near where the type and most of the paratypes were collected, in apposition.
Description
Body length 1.4–1.5 mm, short, compact, moderately broadly oval, piceous to nearly black, with legs or only tarsi, antennae, maxillary palps, and tip of abdomen yellowish brown (Fig. 401); moderately glossy; integument with microsculpture mesh-like on head and pronotum, coarse, scale-like on elytra and abdomen; pubescence sparse and long; head transverse with eyes large, protruding, pubescence directed anteriad; antennae with four apical articles forming loose club, articles VI–VII narrow and strongly transverse; pronotum strongly transverse, lateral margins strongly converging apicad, pubescence directed obliquely laterad; elytral margins broadly arcuate laterally with pubescence directed obliquely laterad; abdomen gradually narrowed apicad. Male. Median lobe of aedeagus with tubus long, arcuate, apex moderately thin and gradually arched ventrally in lateral view, bulbus moderately long with large carina apicalis (Fig. 402); internal sac structures as illustrated (Fig. 402); tergite VIII truncate apically (Fig. 403); sternite VIII with apical margin very obtusely angulate, broadly rounded medially (Fig. 404). Female. Tergite VIII truncate apically (Fig. 405); sternite VIII broadly parabolic apically (Fig. 406); spermatheca broad, with capsule oval in apical half, constricted and bent at middle (Fig. 407).
Natural history
Adults were collected from Lindgren funnel traps in a jack pine forest (most), a red pine forest, and an old-growth white spruce and balsam fir forest. Specimens were captured during May and June.
Distribution
Known only from NB, Canada.
Comments
We have checked the world literature on the genus and compared all available genital illustrations and found none matching our species, which led to the conclusion that it was undescribed (Williams 1970a[1], 1970b[2], 1972[3], 1973a[4], 1973b[5], 1975[6], 1976[7], 1979[8], Frank 1972[9], Lohse in Lohse 1974[10], Frank et al. 1992[11], Assing 1995[12], 2003[13]). In addition, we consulted J.H. Frank, who studied American and Caribbean types and species of Oligota, and he confirmed that our species was not among the species he studied.
