( Fig. 45 View FIGURE 45 , 52C View FIGURE 52 , Appendix I)
Diagnosis. Clistopyga quechua 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 45A, 45D View FIGURE 45 ); mesosoma extensively stained red orange ( Figs 45A, 45D–E View FIGURE 45 ); pronotum mostly blackish brown and white cream ( Figs 45A, 45C–D View FIGURE 45 ); propodeum laterally broadly yellow cream ( Figs 45A, 45D–E View FIGURE 45 ); hind femur yellow, with brown subbasal, and subdistal anterior wide mark and posterior dorsal long stripe ( Fig. 45A View FIGURE 45 ); metasoma with posterior well defined white cream or yellow wide band on tergites I–IV ( Fig. 45F View FIGURE 45 ); epomia virtually absent ( Fig. 45C View FIGURE 45 ); submetapleural carina weak, present at anterior 0.2 of metapleuron ( Fig. 45D View FIGURE 45 ); fore wing with vein 2 rs-m 0.75-0.8× as long as abscissa of M between 2 rs-m and 2 m-cu ( Fig. 45J View FIGURE 45 ); hind wing with distal abscissa of Cu 1 slightly insinuated or absent ( Fig. 45H View FIGURE 45 ); ovipositor 2.0× as long as hind tibia, moderately upcurved at distal 0.3–0.4 ( Fig. 45I View FIGURE 45 ); ovipositor sheath 1.7× as long as hind tibia, ventral margin basally with small denticles ( Fig. 45G View FIGURE 45 , arrow).
Description. Female: Body length 7.0- 8.2 mm. Fore wing length about 4.7-6.5 mm.
Head ( Figs 45A, 45B, 45D–E View FIGURE 45 ). In dorsal view, strongly narrowed behind eyes. Gena shiny with sparse setiferous punctures, in dorsal view slightly rounded, 0.2-0.25× as long as eye, in frontal view moderately constricted ventrally to eyes, slightly convex. Frons and vertex smooth and shiny, with very isolated setiferous punctures. Posterior ocellus separated from eye about 1.0× its maximum diameter. Distance between hind ocelli about 0.7-0.9× maximum diameter of posterior ocellus. Hypostomal carina not lamelliform behind mandible. Face with shallow, fine and moderately sparse punctures, distance between them much more than its diameter. Clypeal suture strongly curved medially. Clypeus 1.55-2.0× as broad as medially long, weakly convex with very few punctures dorsally, flat and smooth ventrally, ventral margin straight. Malar space 0.8-0.9× as long as basal mandibular width, with a slightly granulate subocular sulcus progressively wider towards the mandibular basis. Antenna with 26-29 flagellomeres, first flagellomere 6.8-7.5× as long as medially wide.
Mesosoma ( Figs 45A, 45C, 45D–E, 45H–L View FIGURE 45 ). Pronotum smooth and shiny with few setiferous punctures on posterior corner. Epomia virtually absent. Mesoscutum smooth and shiny, with isolated very fine setiferous punctures somewhat denser on the central lobe; anterior half of median lobe not conspicuously prominent, confluent with posterior half. Notaulus weak, reaching about 0.4 the length of mesoscutum. Mesopleuron smooth and shiny, with very sparse small setiferous punctures on ventral part. Epicnemial carina weak, its dorsal end straight, ending at level of centre of pronotum. Metapleuron smooth and shiny, glabrous, 2.85-2.9× as long as high. Submetapleural carina weak, present at anterior 0.2 of metapleuron. Propodeum smooth and shiny with very sparse and isolated fine setiferous punctures, in dorsal view about 1.35-140× as long as medially wide. Propodeal spiracle about 0.13 the length to anterior end of pleural carina. Hind leg with femur about 3.33× 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 0.75-0.8× 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 1.3-1.7× as long as Cu 1 b. Hind wing with vein cu-a about 0.3× 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 weakly pigmented to absent; in paratype, vein cu-a + abscissa of Cu 1 between M and cu-a straight and vertical, distal abscissa of Cu 1 absent.
Metasoma ( Figs 45A, 45F, 45G, 45I View FIGURE 45 ). Tergite I 1.5-1.6× as long as posteriorly broad, shiny, with 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 carina absent. Sternite I extending posteriorly 0.5 the length of tergite. Tergite II about 1.15-1.18× as long as posteriorly broad, with relatively deep and dense setiferous punctures, distance between punctures about its diameter; punctation of posterior tergites tending to be denser. Ovipositor moderately up-curved at posterior 0.3, about 2.0× as long as hind tibia. Ovipositor sheath 1.7× as long as hind tibia, ventral margin basally with small denticles, length of setae on average 1.5× the sheath basal width.
Colouration ( Fig. 45 View FIGURE 45 ). Head mostly white cream, with apex of mandibles, lateral parts of clypeus, clypeal suture, fovea, subocular sulcus, frons and vertex medially, middle and dorsal part of genal orbit, posterior part of gena and occipital region, dark brown to black; antenna brown, scapus, pedicel, annellus and first to fourth flagellomeres, laterally whitish. Mesosoma mostly light orange; propleuron dorsally, mid lateral part of pronotum, ventral part of metapleuron and most part of propodeum dark brown to black; propleuron ventrally, ventral anterior and dorsal lateral wide band on pronotum, subalar prominence, mesepisternum, posterior triangular mark on scutellum and postscutellum, and widely lateral parts of propodeum, white cream. Metasoma mostly dark brown; posterior wide band on tergites I–V and lateral margins of tergites III–V white cream, tergites II–III with lateral posterior black spots; ovipositor brown; 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, lateral parts of trochantelli, base, anterior subdistal mark and long posterior stripe on femur, basal and distal part of tibia, and distal part of tarsi, brown. Wings hyaline, pterostigma brown.
Male: Unknown.
