( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 , 52A View FIGURE 52 , Appendix I)
Diagnosis. Clistopyga andina may be distinguished from all other species of the C. calixtoi species group by the following combination of characters: genal orbits widely interrupted with brown or black ( Figs 6A, 6D View FIGURE 6 ; metasoma with posterolateral well defined yellow marks on tergites, clearly separated from posterior rim ( Figs 6A, 6I View FIGURE 6 ); epomia as a well-defined short vertical carina ( Fig. 6D View FIGURE 6 , arrow); submetapleural carina, weak, extended on anterior 0.4 of metapleuron ( Fig. 6G View FIGURE 6 ); ventral margin of ovipositor sheath basally without denticles.
Description. Female: Body length 9–11 mm. Fore wing length 6.8–7.5 mm.
Head ( Figs 6A–D, 6I View FIGURE 6 ). In dorsal view, strongly narrowed posteriorly to eyes. Gena shiny with very sparse setiferous punctures, in dorsal view slightly rounded, 0.25–0.30× as long as eye, in frontal view moderately constricted ventrally to eyes, with straight profile. Frons and vertex smooth and shiny, with very isolated setiferous punctures. Posterior ocellus separated from eye 1.0–1.1 its maximum diameter. Distance between hind ocelli 0.9– 1.0× maximum diameter of posterior ocellus. Hypostomal carina not lamelliform posteriorly to mandible. Face with fine deep and dense punctures, distance between them about once its diameter. Clypeal suture strongly curved medially. Clypeus about 1.85× as broad as medially long, slightly convex with isolated fine punctures dorsally, smooth ventrally, ventral margin straight. Malar space about 0.9× as long as basal mandibular width, with narrow smooth subocular sulcus. Antenna with 26–28 flagellomeres, first flagellomere 5.85–6.1× as long as medially wide.
Mesosoma ( Figs 6A, 6C–G, 6I View FIGURE 6 ). Pronotum smooth and shiny with few setiferous punctures on dorsal posterior corner. Epomia strong and short, vertical. Mesoscutum shiny, with sparse shallow setiferous punctures, denser on anterior part of median lobe; anterior half of median lobe not conspicuously prominent, confluent with posterior half. Notaulus deep, reaching about 0.5 the length of mesoscutum. Mesopleuron shiny, with sparse shallow setiferous punctures except at mid and dorsal posterior part. Epicnemial carina strong, its dorsal end straight, ending at level of centre of pronotum. Metapleuron, smooth and shiny, mostly glabrous, except some setiferous punctures on posterior dorsal corner, 2.05–2.1× as long as high. Submetapleural carina extended on anterior 0.4 of metapleuron. Propodeum shiny, mostly smooth, with evenly sparse fine setiferous punctures, in dorsal view, 0.95–1.0 as long as medially wide. Propodeal spiracle 0.12–0.14 the length to anterior end of pleural carina. Hind leg with femur 3.7–3.75× as long as high, 1.0–1.1× as long as tibia. Fore wing with vein cu-a opposite to Rs & M; vein 2 rs-m about 0.35× as long as abscissa of M between 2 rs-m and 2 m-cu; abscissa of Cu 1 between 1 m-cu and Cu 1 a 1.3–1.45× as long as Cu 1 b. Hind wing with vein cu-a about 0.3 × as long as abscissa of Cu 1 between M and cu-a, vein cu-a slightly reclivous, first abscissa of Cu 1 vertical; distal abscissa of Cu 1 very weak, unpigmented.
Metasoma ( Figs 6H–I View FIGURE 6 ). Tergite I 1.30–1.35× as long as posteriorly broad, shiny, with moderately sparse setiferous punctures laterally and posteriorly, spiracle near its anterior 0.3; lateromedian longitudinal carinae present at anterior 0.25 of tergite; lateral longitudinal carinae absent. Sternite I extending posteriorly about 0.45 the length of tergite. Tergite II 1.05–1.1× as long as posteriorly broad, with dense moderately deep punctures, distance between punctures about its diameter; punctation of posterior tergites tending to be shallower. Ovipositor evenly and slightly up-curved at 0.5 distal, about 2.0× as long as hind tibia. Ovipositor sheath about 1.78× as long as hind tibia, ventral margin basally without denticles, length of setae on average 1.6–1.7× the sheath basal width.
Colouration ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 ). Head mostly white cream, with apex of mandibles, lateral parts of clypeus, clypeal suture, fovea, narrow longitudinal stripe at middle of face, frons and vertex medially, middle part of genal orbit, middle and dorsal posterior part of gena and occipital region, dark brown to black; antenna brown, scapus, pedicel, annellus and first and second flagellomere, ventro laterally white cream. Mesosoma mostly orange; propleuron dorsally, sometimes middle lateral part of pronotum and ventral part of metapleuron, and most part of propodeum, dark brown to black; ventral part of propleuron, dorsal lateral and ventral lateral band on pronotum, tegula, subalar prominence, scutellum laterally and posteriorly, postscutellum, wide longitudinal mark on mesopleuron and lateral parts of propodeum, white cream. Metasoma mostly dark brown to black; tergites I–VI with white cream posterolateral marks just anteriorly to the darker posterior band; tergite I also with white cream anterior lateral marks; ovipositor dark brown; ovipositor sheaths black. Legs predominantly white cream; front leg with dorsal and ventral stripes on femur, tibia and distal part of tarsi, brown; mid leg with base of trochanter, dorsal and ventral stripes on femur and tibia and distal part of tarsi, brown; hind leg with anterior and posterior spots on coxa, base of trochanter, base, and anterior and posterior subdistal marks on femur, basal and distal part of tibia, and distal part of tarsi, brown. Wings hyaline, pterostigma blackish brown.
Male: Unknown.
