Clistopyga carinata Bordera & Palacio, 2019: 105. Holotype: ♀, Brazil ( AEIC).

Diagnosis.

According to Palacio et al. (2019), this species can be distinguished from all other species of C. henryi group by the combination of the following characteristics: 1) hind wing with distal abscissa of CU well pigmented; 2) metapleuron and propodeum reddish-orange; 3) submetapleural carina complete; 4) tergites II – VIII predominantly dark brown; 5) female with ovipositor evenly down curved at distal 0.4.

Remarks.

After studying a large number of specimens, we report the following morphological variations in comparison with the original description by Bordera and Palacio (2019): female. Body length 8.9–12.0 mm. Fore wing length 6.7–8.6 mm. Gena, in dorsal view about 0.18–0.45 × as long as the eye. Posterior ocellus separated from the eye 1.0–1.25 × its maximum diameter; the distance between the hind ocellus about 1.0–1.18 × its maximum diameter of the posterior ocellus. Clypeus 1.6–1.88 × as broad as medially long. Malar space about 0.57–0.66 × as long as basal mandibular width. Antenna with 26–28 flagellomeres, first flagellomere 7.0–9.0 × as long as wide. Notauli reaching 0.35–0.45 of the length of the mesoscutum. Metapleuron 1.66–1.81 × as long as deep. Propodeum, in dorsal view 0.92–1.0 × as long as medially wide. Hind leg with femur 4.55–5.4 × as long as deep and about 0.93–1.0 × as long as the tibia. Fore wing with vein 2 rs-m about 0.33–0.66 × as long as abscissa of M between 2 rs-m and 2 m-cu; abscissa of CU between 1 m-cu & M and CU 1.58–1.71 × as long as 2 cu-a. Hind wing with vein CU 0.54–0.67 × as long as abscissa of CU between M and cu-a. Tergite I 1.0–1.33 × as long as posteriorly broad; lateromedian longitudinal carinae reaching 0.2–0.3 of the length of tergite; lateral longitudinal carinae reaching 0.2–0.3 of the length of tergite. Sternite I extending back about 0.4–0.5 of length of tergite. Tergite II 0.93–1.05 × as long as posteriorly broad. Ovipositor 2.6–3.0 × as long as hind tibia; sheath about 2.05–2.4 × as long as the hind tibia, length of setae on average about 2.0–2.5 × the sheath basal width.
