Clistopyga magninsula Higa & Penteado-Dias, 2024: 356 . Holotype: ♀, Brazil (DCBU).

Diagnosis. Clistopyga magninsula 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; mesopleuron ventrally white cream; metasoma with posterolateral well defined white cream marks on tergites, clearly separated from posterior rim; epomia as a small tubercle or short carina at the bottom of the submarginal depression of pronotum; metapleuron about 2.5× as long as high; submetapleural carina extended on anterior 0.5 of metapleuron; gena in frontal view strongly constricted below eyes, with slightly convex profile; clypeal suture strongly curved; hind femur about 3.67× as long as high.

Remarks. We have not seen material of this species, its inclusion in this article is based on the images and the original description provided by the authors ( Higa et al. 2024).
