325B466BFFA0FFFDFF0EFCDAFC3700A5.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Head elongate, malar space exceptionally long, 1.20 – 1.80 × basal mandibular width; clypeus large, subquadrate, supra-clypeal suture weakly impressed to absent, thus in most species with face and clypeus forming approximately uniform smooth plane; occipital carina ventrally incomplete; mandible slender, lower tooth 0.50 – 1.00 × as long as upper tooth. Fore wing with areolet rhomboid to pentagonal; pterostigma broad and triangular, maximum length 2.30 – 3.00 × its maximum width; hind wing with basal abscissa of vein M + Cu 1 strongly arched; distal abscissa of vein Cu 1 joining vein cu-a far closer to vein 1 A than vein M. First metasomal tergite with anterior median depression bordered laterally by raised sides, glymma deep, almost meeting at midline and often separated only by translucent partition; female hypopygium large, arched, but not folded medioventrally; ovipositor slender, slightly upcurved and lacking dorsal subapical notch.	en	Araujo, Rodrigo O., Vivallo, Felipe, Santos, Bernardo F.

325B466BFFA3FFFFFF0EFE21FC5106E3.taxon	discussion	Comments: Scolomus clypeatus sp. nov. is most similar to S. maculatus sp. nov. because of the clusters of seemingly bifurcate setae in the supra-clypeal area of females; both also have the body predominantly green, present as well in the other Chilean species, S. magellanicus. The two species can be differentiated by (1) the width of the clypeus: S. clypeatus sp. nov. has a larger clypeus, with rectangular aspect (Fig. 1), 3.00 × as wide as long, (vs. 2.30 × in S. maculatus); (2) distance between eye and lateral ocellus> 1.50 × the diameter of lateral ocellus in S. clypeatus sp. nov. (vs. up to 1.00 × in S. maculatus.); (3) S. clypeatus sp. nov. has a smaller areolet, 0.80 × as wide as long (vs. 1.00 × in S. maculatus sp. nov.); (4) in lateral view, hypopygium 1.55 × as long as wide in S. clypeatus sp. nov. (vs. 1.90 × in S. maculatus sp. nov.); (5) ovipositor> 10.00 × as long as basal width in S. clypeatus sp. nov. (vs. 5.30 × in S. maculatus sp. nov.); (6) color: S. clypeatus sp. nov. has the head, mesoscutum, postscutellum and pronotum entirely yellow (vs. head and pronotum green, mesoscutum yellow with dark brown spots on its lateral lobes and around the scutellum in S. maculatus). Both new species have a lightly petiolate areolet, rhombic, with vein 2 RS joining rs-m shortly before touching 3 RSa, while S. magellanicus has a pentagonal areolet, with vein 2 RS and rs-m touch 3 RSa independently. The male of this species is unknown.	en	Araujo, Rodrigo O., Vivallo, Felipe, Santos, Bernardo F.
