Diagnosis. Clistopyga femorator 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 15B–C View FIGURE 15 ); mesopleuron with longitudinal well defined white cream mark ( Figs 15A, 15C View FIGURE 15 ); metasoma with posterolateral well defined white cream marks on tergites, clearly separated from posterior rim ( Figs 15A, 15D View FIGURE 15 ); head in dorsal view, moderately narrowed posteriorly to eyes ( Fig. 15B View FIGURE 15 ); gena in dorsal view slightly rounded, 0.33–0.38× as long as eye ( Fig. 15B View FIGURE 15 ); epomia as very short carina at the bottom of the submarginal depression of pronotum ( Fig. 15C View FIGURE 15 ); metapleuron 2.1–2.35x as long as high ( Fig. 15C View FIGURE 15 ); submetapleural carina extended on anterior 0.4 of metapleuron ( Fig. 15C View FIGURE 15 ); hind leg with femur about 4.3× as long as high ( Fig. 15G View FIGURE 15 ); ovipositor evenly up-curved at 0.4 distal, 1.95–2.0× as long as hind tibia ( Figs 15A, 15F View FIGURE 15 ); ovipositor sheath 1.65–1.7× as long as hind tibia.

Description. Female: Body length 8.4–8.8 mm. Fore wing length 6.2–6.3 mm.

Head ( Figs 15A–C, 15E View FIGURE 15 ). In dorsal view, moderately narrowed behind eyes. Gena shiny with very sparse setiferous punctures, in dorsal view slightly rounded, 0.33–0.38× as long as eye, in frontal view strongly constricted below 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 1.0–1.25× maximum diameter of posterior ocellus. Hypostomal carina not lamelliform posteriorly to mandible. Face with shallow and moderately sparse setiferous punctures, distance between them much more than its diameter. Clypeal suture strongly curved. Clypeus 1.75–1.8× as broad as medially long, moderately convex and with isolated fine punctures dorsally, slightly concave and smooth ventrally, ventral margin slightly incurved. Malar space 0.7–0.9× as long as basal mandibular width, with narrow smooth subocular sulcus. Antenna with 27 flagellomeres, first flagellomere about 6.17× as long as medially wide.

Mesosoma ( Figs 15A–C, 15G–I View FIGURE 15 ). Pronotum smooth and shiny. Epomia as a very short carina at the bottom of the submarginal depression of pronotum. 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 weak, reaching about 0.5 the length of mesoscutum. Mesopleuron shiny, with evenly very sparse shallow setiferous punctures except at mid and dorsal posterior part. Epicnemial carina weak, its dorsal end straight, ending at level of centre of pronotum. Metapleuron, smooth and shiny, glabrous, 2.1–2.35× as long as high. Submetapleural carina, extended on anterior 0.4 of metapleuron. Propodeum shiny with evenly sparse fine setiferous punctures, in dorsal view 1.05–1.25 as long as medially wide. Propodeal spiracle 0.15–0.16 the length to anterior end of pleural carina. Hind leg with femur about 4.3× as long as high, 0.95–1.0× as long as tibia. Fore wing with vein cu-a opposite to Rs & M; vein 2 rs-m 0.33–0.36× 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 1.73–2.0× as long as Cu 1 b. Hind wing with vein cu-a 0.43–0.47 × 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 insinuated distally.

Metasoma ( Figs 15A, 15D, 15F View FIGURE 15 ). Tergite I about 1.60× as long as posteriorly broad, shiny, with sparse setiferous punctures laterally and posteriorly, spiracle near its anterior 0.4; lateromedian longitudinal carinae present at anterior 0.2 of tergite; lateral longitudinal carinae present at anterior 0.2 and posterior 0.5 of tergite Sternite I extending posteriorly 0.50–0.55 the length of tergite. Tergite II 1.05–1.15× as long as posteriorly broad, with relatively dense deep punctures, distance between punctures less than its diameter; remaining tergites same macrosculpture. Ovipositor evenly up-curved at 0.4 distal, 1.95–2.0× as long as hind tibia. Ovipositor sheath 1.65–1.7× as long as hind tibia, ventral margin basally without denticles, length of setae on average 1.7–1.9× the sheath basal width.

Colouration ( Fig. 15 View FIGURE 15 ). Head mostly white cream, with apex of mandibles, lateral parts of clypeus, clypeal suture, fovea, wide longitudinal stripe at middle of face, frons and vertex medially, middle and dorsal part of gena and occipital region, dark brown to black; antenna brown, scapus, pedicel, annellus and first flagellomere, laterally white cream. Mesosoma mostly orange; peripheral suture of the mesoscutum, propleuron dorsally, anterior and middle part of propodeum and submetapleural carina, dark brown; anterior and posterior rim of propodeum black; dorsal and ventral lateral band on pronotum, tegula, subalar prominence, scutellum laterally and posteriorly, postscutellum, wide longitudinal mark on mesopleuron, and lateral parts of propodeum widely, white cream. Metasoma mostly dark brown to black; tergites I–VI with white cream posterolateral marks just anteriorly to the darker posterior band; ovipositor dark brown; ovipositor sheaths black. 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 stripe on femur and tibia and distal part of tarsi brown; hind leg with lateral spots on coxa, base of trochanter, base, and lateral 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 relatively long hind femur that characterizes this species.
