( Figs 20 View FIGURE 20 , 52A View FIGURE 52 , Appendix I)
Diagnosis. Clistopyga inca may be distinguished from all other species of the C. calixtoi species group by the following combination of characters: genal orbit interrupted by dark brown or black ( Figs 20C–D View FIGURE 20 ); mesosoma extensively stained red orange ( Figs 20A, 20D View FIGURE 20 ); pronotum mostly blackish brown and white cream ( Figs 20C–D View FIGURE 20 ); propodeum laterally broadly yellow cream ( Figs 20D–F View FIGURE 20 ); metasoma with posterior well defined white cream wide bands on tergites I–V ( Figs 20A, 20I View FIGURE 20 ); submetapleural carina absent ( Fig. 20E View FIGURE 20 ); ovipositor about 1.7× as long as hind tibia, strongly up-curved at distal 0.3 ( Figs 20A, 20J View FIGURE 20 ); ovipositor sheath 1.5× as long as hind tibia ( Fig. 20A View FIGURE 20 ).
Description. Female: Body length about 9.2 mm. Fore wing length about 7 mm.
Head ( Figs 20A–D, 20F View FIGURE 20 ). In dorsal view, strongly narrowed behind eyes. Gena shiny with very sparse setiferous punctures, in dorsal view almost straight, about 0.15× as long as eye, in frontal view moderately constricted below eyes, slightly concave. Frons and vertex smooth and shiny, with very isolated setiferous punctures. Posterior ocellus separated from eye about 0.9 its maximum diameter. Distance between hind ocelli about 0.6× maximum diameter of posterior ocellus. Hypostomal carina not lamelliform behind mandible. Face with shallow, fine and moderately dense punctures, distance between them about its diameter. Clypeal suture moderately curved medially. Clypeus about 1.85× as broad as medially long, weakly convex with very few punctures dorsally, flat and smooth ventrally, ventral margin straight centrally. Malar space about 0.7× as long as basal mandibular width, with a slightly granulate narrow subocular sulcus. Antenna with 32 flagellomeres, first flagellomere 6,55× as long as medially wide.
Mesosoma ( Figs 20A, 20C–H, 20J View FIGURE 20 ). Pronotum smooth and shiny with very few setiferous punctures on posterior corner. Epomia as a very short carina at the bottom of the submarginal depression of pronotum. Mesoscutum mostly smooth and shiny, with isolated very fine setiferous punctures on mid lobe and periphery of lateral lobes, central part of lateral lobes glabrous; anterior half of median lobe not conspicuously prominent, confluent with posterior half. Notaulus weak, reaching about 0.5 the length of mesoscutum. Mesopleuron smooth and shiny, with very sparse small setiferous punctures on anterior and ventral part. Epicnemial carina weak, its dorsal end straight, ending at level of centre of pronotum. Metapleuron smooth and shiny, glabrous, about 2.42× as long as high. Submetapleural carina absent. Propodeum shiny with evenly sparse fine setiferous punctures, in dorsal view 1.5× as long as medially wide. Propodeal spiracle about 0.15 the length to anterior end of pleural carina. Hind leg with femur about 3.5× as long as high, 1.1× as long as tibia. Fore wing with vein cu-a opposite to Rs & M; vein 2 rs-m about 0.8× 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 about 1.58× as long as Cu 1 b. Hind wing with vein cu-a about 0.42 × as long as abscissa of Cu 1 between M and cu-a Vein cu-a reclivous; first abscissa of Cu 1 vertical; distal abscissa of Cu 1 strongly pigmented.
Metasoma ( Figs 20A, 20I–J View FIGURE 20 ). Tergite I about 1.55× as long as posteriorly broad, shiny, with very sparse shallow setiferous punctures laterally and posteriorly, spiracle near its anterior 0.35; lateromedian longitudinal carinae weak at anterior 0.2 of tergite; lateral longitudinal carinae absent. Sternite I extending posteriorly 0.45 the length of tergite. Tergite II about 1.05× as long as posteriorly broad, with shallow and dense setiferous punctures, distance between punctures at least its diameter; punctation of posterior tergites tending to be denser. Ovipositor strongly up-curved at posterior 0.3, about 1.7× as long as hind tibia. Ovipositor sheath 1.5× as long as hind tibia, ventral margin basally with very small denticles, length of setae on average 2.0× the sheath basal width.
Colouration ( Fig. 20 View FIGURE 20 ). Head mostly white cream, with apex of mandibles, widely lateral parts of clypeal suture, clypeal fovea, subocular sulcus, frons and vertex medially, mid and dorsal part of genal orbit, posterior part of gena and occipital region, dark brown to black; face with a weak medial longitudinal orange stripe; antenna brown, scapus, pedicel, annellus and first and second flagellomeres, ventro laterally whitish. Mesosoma mostly orange; propleuron dorsally, mid lateral part and ventral posterior part of pronotum, ventral part of metapleuron, anterior and posterior rim and dorsal part propodeum dark brown to black; propleuron ventrally, ventral anterior and dorsal lateral wide band on pronotum, tegula, subalar prominence, mesepisternum, posterior triangular mark on scutellum and postscutellum, and widely lateral parts of propodeum, white cream. Metasoma mostly dark brown; tergites I–V posteriorly widely white cream banded, tergites II–III (IV) with posterior lateral black spots and anterior lateral white cream spots; ovipositor dark orange; ovipositor sheaths dark brown. Legs predominantly white cream; front leg with dorsal stripe on femur, tibia and distal part of tarsi, brown; mid leg with base of trochanter, dorsal stripes on femur and tibia and distal part of tarsi brown; hind leg with anterior and posterior spots on coxa, base of trochanter, distal part of trochantellus, 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.
Etymology. The specific name refers to the Inca civilization related to the citadel of Machu Picchu ( Peru), one of the most emblematic archaeological sites of this civilization, where the holotype was collected.
