Clistopyga maya González-Moreno & Bordera, 2014 : Holotype: ♀, Mexico (CEUA).

Diagnosis. Clistopyga maya may be distinguished easily from all other species of the C. calixtoi species group by the following combination of characters: mesosoma extensively marked with orange ( Figs 31G , 32F ); submetapleural carina almost complete ( Figs 31G , 32B ) and tergite I with lateromedian longitudinal carina reaching posterior rim of tergite ( Fig. 31C , 32G ). Additionally, female has metasoma with posterolateral well defined white cream marks on tergites, clearly separated from posterior rim ( Figs 31E, 31H ). Male has gena, in frontal view, straight or slightly convex in profile, without any traces of longitudinal concavity posterior to mandible base ( Fig. 31B ).

Remarks. Additional characters to the original description are as follow: female with hypostomal carina not lamelliform posteriorly to mandible; anterior half of median lobe not conspicuously prominent, confluent with posterior half; propodeal spiracle about 0.13–0.17 the length to anterior end of pleural carina; hind leg with femur about 3.2–3.5× as long as high.
