( Figs 48 View FIGURE 48 , 52C View FIGURE 52 , Appendix I)
Diagnosis. Clistopyga valida may be distinguished from all other species of the C. calixtoi species group by the following combination of characters: genal orbit usually interrupted by dark brown or black ( Figs 48A, 48E View FIGURE 48 ); mesosoma extensively stained reddish orange; mesopleuron with a median anterior white cream mark ( Figs 48A, 48D View FIGURE 48 ); pronotum mostly blackish brown and white cream ( Fig. 48D View FIGURE 48 ); metasoma with posterior well defined white cream bands on tergites II–III (IV) ( Fig. 48F View FIGURE 48 ); propodeum laterally broadly yellow cream (48G); epomia strong and short, vertical ( Fig. 48C View FIGURE 48 , arrow); submetapleural carina strongly raised, almost complete ( Fig. 48G View FIGURE 48 ); ovipositor sheath basally with very small denticles at ventral margin.
Description. Female: Body length about 8.5 mm. Fore wing length about 6 mm.
Head ( Figs 48A–B, 48E View FIGURE 48 ). In dorsal view, strongly narrowed behind eyes. Gena shiny with very sparse setiferous punctures, in dorsal view with almost straight profile, about 0.25× as long as eye, in frontal view moderately constricted below eyes, straight. Frons and vertex smooth and shiny, with very isolated setiferous punctures. Posterior ocellus separated from eye 0.9–0.95× its maximum diameter. Distance between hind ocelli 0.9–0.95× maximum diameter of posterior ocellus. Hypostomal carina not lamelliform behind mandible. Face with shallow, fine and dense punctures, distance between them less than its diameter. Clypeal suture moderately curved medially. Clypeus about 2.5× as broad as medially long, weakly convex with very few punctures dorsally, slightly concave and smooth ventrally, ventral margin straight medially. Malar space about 0.8× as long as basal mandibular width, with a smooth narrow subocular sulcus. Antenna with 26 flagellomeres, first flagellomere 7.0× as long as medially wide.
Mesosoma ( Figs 48A, 48C, 48D–E, 48G–I View FIGURE 48 ). Pronotum smooth and shiny with few setiferous punctures on posterior corner. Epomia strong and short, vertical. Mesoscutum smooth and shiny, with relatively dense shallow and fine setiferous punctures, much 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 moderately dense deep setiferous punctures, except at mid and dorsal posterior part. Epicnemial carina strong, its dorsal end slightly curved towards the back, ending at level of centre of pronotum. Metapleuron smooth and shiny, with very shallow and isolated setiferous punctures, 2.5× as long as high. Submetapleural carina strongly raised, almost complete. Propodeum shiny with evenly sparse fine setiferous punctures, in dorsal view 1.2–1.25× as long as medially wide. Propodeal spiracle about 0.17 the length to anterior end of pleural carina. Hind leg with femur 3.34× as long as high, about 1.0× 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 2.0× as long as Cu 1 b. Hind wing with vein cu-a about 0.35× 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 very weak, unpigmented.
Metasoma ( Figs 48A, 48F, 48J View FIGURE 48 ). Tergite I 1.15× as long as posteriorly broad, shiny, with relatively dense and shallow setiferous punctures laterally and posteriorly, spiracle near its anterior 0.3; lateromedian longitudinal carinae strong at anterior 0.35 of tergite; lateral longitudinal carinae weak, present at anterior 0.25 of tergite. Sternite I extending posteriorly 0.35 the length of tergite. Tergite II 0.95–1.0× as long as posteriorly broad, with moderately deep adjacent setiferous punctures; punctation of posterior tergites tending to be shallower. Ovipositor strongly up-curved at posterior 0.3, about 2.0× as long as hind tibia. Ovipositor sheath 1.65–1.7× as long as hind tibia, ventral margin basally with very small denticles, length of setae on average 2.5× the sheath basal width.
Colouration ( Fig. 48 View FIGURE 48 ). Head mostly white cream, with apex of mandibles, frons and vertex medially, middle part of genal orbit, posterior part of gena and occipital region, dark brown to black, clypeal suture, and weak longitudinal stripe at middle of face brown; antenna brown, scapus, pedicel, annellus and first and second flagellomeres, ventrolaterally whitish. Mesosoma mostly orange; propleuron dorsally, mid lateral part of pronotum, lateral suture of mesoscutum, a spot between tegula and subalar prominence, axillae, and posterior margin of propodeum, dark brown to black; propleuron ventrally, ventral anterior and dorsal lateral wide band on pronotum, two longitudinal stripes on mesoscutum, interrupted by notauli, a mid spot on anterior part of mesopleuron and posterior dorsal part of epimeron, divided by dark epicnemial carina, tegula, subalar prominence, scutellum, postscutellum and lateral parts of propodeum, white cream. Metasoma mostly orange; posterior lateral spots on tergites I–III dark brown to black, anterior lateral spots on tergites I–III (IV) and posterior dorsal band on tergites II–V white cream; ovipositor dark orange; ovipositor sheaths dark brown. Legs predominantly white cream; front leg with dorsal stripe on femur, dorsal and ventral stripes on 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 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 weakly infumate, pterostigma dark brown.
Male: Unknown.
Etymology. The specific epithet, valida , comes from the Latin “ validus ” (stout, robust, vigorous), and it refers to the robust habit of this new species.
