Diagnosis

Clistopyga cuscoensis sp. nov. can be distinguished from all other species of the C. chaconi species group by the combination of the following characters: wings hyaline; propodeum and metapleuron entirely orange; hind coxa orange, dark brown in ventral distal part; hind femur dark brown to black, distally and centrally (non-defined band) white ( Fig. 7 View Fig. 7 D); ovipositor slender, weakly and evenly upcurved over apical 0.3 ( Figs 7 View Fig. 7 D, 9D), 1.3–1.4 times as long as hind tibia; antenna with 33–34 flagellomeres, first flagellomere 5.8–6.0 times as long as wide; clypeus 1.65–1.75 times as wide as long ( Fig. 9 View Fig. 9 C); hind wing with vein cu-a 0.35–0.40 times abscissa of Cu 1 between M and cu-a; clypeal suture slightly curved, almost straight ( Fig. 9 View Fig. 9 C); setae of ovipositor sheath, on average, about 1.2 times the sheath basal width ( Fig. 9 View Fig. 9 D); malar space 0.55–0.65 times basal width of mandible; tergite I 2.13–2.22 times as long as posteriorly broad.

Etymology

The name of the species refers to the department where the holotype was collected, Cusco, Peru.

Description

Female

MEASUREMENTS. Body length 9.4–10.3 mm. Fore wing length 6.5–6.9 mm

HEAD. In dorsal view, strongly narrowed behind eyes. Gena smooth and shiny, with sparse, moderately long setae ventrally, in dorsal view 0.35–0.38 times as long as eye, in frontal view slightly rounded and moderately constricted below eyes ( Fig. 9 View Fig. 9 C). Frons smooth and shiny, with a very weak medial longitudinal depression. Vertex smooth and shiny, with very isolated setiferous punctures. Posterior ocellus separated from eye by 0.8–0.9 times its maximum diameter. Distance between hind ocelli 0.8–0.9 times maximum diameter of posterior ocellus. Occipital carina strongly raised, forming a dorsomedial flange, conspicuously upcurved posteriorly. Face with fine and dense setiferous punctures, distance between punctures about diameter of punctures ( Fig. 9 View Fig. 9 C). Clypeal suture slightly curved, almost straight. Clypeus 1.65–1.75 times as broad as medially long, weakly convex in dorsal half, flat in ventral half, with apical margin slightly rounded. Malar space 0.55–0.65 times as long as basal mandibular width, with a deep, narrow, smooth and shiny sulcus between eye and mandible ( Fig. 9 View Fig. 9 C). Antenna with 33–34 flagellomeres, first flagellomere 5.8–6.0 times as long as wide.

MESOSOMA. Pronotum shiny, mostly smooth, with fine and sparse setiferous punctures in upper posterior part. Mesoscutum entirely smooth and shiny, median lobe anteriorly with very fine, shallow and sparse setiferous punctures. Notauli shallow, reaching about 0.6 of length of mesoscutum. Mesopleuron shiny, mostly smooth, with very sparse and fine setiferous punctures except in dorsal part. Epicnemial carina moderately strong, its dorsal end far from anterior margin of mesopleuron, ending slightly below level of centre of pronotum. Metapleuron smooth and shiny, with fine and sparse setiferous punctures on the upper posterior part, 2.0–2.1 times as long as deep. Propodeum smooth and shiny, with sparse and fine setiferous punctures laterally, in dorsal view as long as medially wide. Propodeal spiracle situated immediately above groove separating propodeum and metapleuron. Hind leg with femur about 4.0 times as long as deep, 0.93–0.95 times as long as tibia. Fore wing with vein cu-a opposite Rs & M. Vein 2 rsm about half length of abscissa of M between 2 rs-m and 2 m-cu. Abscissa of Cu 1 between 1 m-cu and Cu 1a 1.3–1.4 times as long as Cu 1b. Hind wing with vein cu-a 0.35–0.40 times as long as abscissa of Cu 1 between M and cu-a. Vein cu-a + abscissa of Cu 1 between M and cu-a slightly reclivous. Vein Cu 1 weakly pigmented.

METASOMA. Tergite I 2.13–2.22 times as long as posteriorly broad, smooth and shiny, with fine, sparse setiferous punctures laterally; spiracle near its basal 0.35; lateromedian longitudinal carinae strong, reaching about 0.2 of length of tergite; lateral longitudinal carinae absent. Sternite I extending back about 0.5 of length of tergite. Tergite II about 1.35 times as long as posteriorly broad, central region shiny, with very fine and moderately sparse setiferous punctures; rest of tergites shiny, more densely and strongly punctate. Ovipositor slender, weakly and evenly upcurved at distal 0.3, matt ( Fig. 9 View Fig. 9 D), 1.3 –1.4 times as long as hind tibia. Ovipositor sheath about 1.1 times as long as hind tibia, length of setae on average about 1.2 times the sheath basal width ( Fig. 9 View Fig. 9 D).

COLOURATION. Body primarily orange, black and white ( Fig. 7 View Fig. 7 D). Antenna brown, with scape, pedicel and basal flagellomeres in ventral part pale. Head black with clypeus, base of mandible, ventral part of gena, inner eye orbit, two longitudinal blotches on the face and two transverse blotches under antennal sockets white. Palpi yellow. Mesosoma entirely orange, except two sublateral black marks on posterior rim of the propodeum. Tegula orange. Wings hyaline, pterostigma dark brown. Fore and mid legs orange. Hind leg black, with coxa anteriorly and dorsally marked with orange, femur distally and centrally (nondefined band), wide band in middle of tibia and proximal half of tarsal segments white. Metasoma dark brown, tergite I variably tinged with orange, anterior corners of tergites II–IV and posterior band of tergites I–IV (V) white, posterior corners of tergites I–III with black spots. Ovipositor brown. Ovipositor sheath black.
