( Figs 43 View FIGURE 43 , 52C View FIGURE 52 , Appendix I)

Clistopyga plana Morley, 1914: 113 View in CoL . Holotype: ♀, Argentina (NHMUK).

Diagnosis. Clistopyga plana may be distinguished from all other species of the C. calixtoi species group by the following combination of characters; hypostomal carina lamelliform and translucent behind mandible; propodeal spiracle, 0.28–0.33× the length to anterior end of pleural carina ( Fig. 43G View FIGURE 43 ); fore wing with abscissa of Cu 1 between 1 m-cu and Cu 1 a 1.35–1.45× as long as Cu 1 b ( Fig. 43H View FIGURE 43 ). Tergite II with dense and relatively deep setiferous punctures, distance between punctures usually less than its diameter ( Fig. 43F View FIGURE 43 ). Ovipositor sheath basally with very small denticles on ventral margin.

Description. Female: Body length 7.0– 14.2 mm. Fore wing length 5.0– 8.2 mm.

Head ( Figs 43A, 43B–E View FIGURE 43 ). In dorsal view, moderately narrowed behind eyes. Gena shiny with moderately dense setiferous punctures, in dorsal view with almost straight profile, 0.27–0.28× as long as eye, in frontal view moderately constricted ventrally to eyes, slightly concave. Frons and vertex smooth and shiny, with sparse setiferous punctures. Posterior ocellus separated from eye 0.9–1.1× its maximum diameter. Distance between hind ocelli 0.8–1.0× maximum diameter of posterior ocellus. Hypostomal carina lamelliform and translucent behind mandible. Face with shallow and moderately dense punctures, distance between them less than its diameter. Clypeal suture moderately curved medially. Clypeus 1.9–2.1× as broad as medially long, weakly convex with very few punctures dorsally, flat and smooth ventrally, ventral margin slightly incurved centrally. Malar space 0.9–1.0× as long as basal mandibular width, with a slightly granulate narrow subocular sulcus. Antenna with 27–32 flagellomeres, first flagellomere 6.3–7.3× as long as medially wide.

Mesosoma ( Figs 43A, 43C–E, 43G–I, 43K View FIGURE 43 ). Pronotum smooth and shiny with very few setiferous punctures on posterior dorsal corner. Epomia as a strong and short carina at the bottom of the submarginal depression of pronotum. Mesoscutum mostly smooth and shiny, with very fine moderately sparse setiferous punctures, denser on the anterior part of median lobe; anterior half of median lobe not conspicuously prominent, confluent with posterior half. Notaulus moderately deep, reaching about 0.5 the length of mesoscutum. Mesopleuron smooth and shiny, with moderately dense small setiferous punctures. Epicnemial carina weak, its dorsal end straight, ending somewhat below centre of pronotum. Metapleuron smooth and shiny, glabrous, 2.8–2.9× as long as high. Submetapleural carina absent. Propodeum shiny with evenly sparse fine setiferous punctures, in dorsal view 1.3–1.45× as long as medially wide. Propodeal spiracle 0.28–0.33× the length to anterior end of pleural carina. Hind leg with femur 3.7– 3.75× as long as high, 1.1–1.2× as long as tibia. Fore wing with vein cu-a opposite to Rs & M; vein 2 rs-m 0.4–0.5× 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 1.35–1.45× as long as Cu 1 b. Hind wing with vein cu-a 0.35–0.5 × as long as abscissa of Cu 1 between M and cu-a; vein cu-a and first abscissa of Cu 1 reclivous. Distal abscissa of Cu 1 slightly pigmented.

Metasoma ( Figs 43A, 43F, 43J View FIGURE 43 ). Tergite I 1.55–1.7× as long as posteriorly broad, shiny, with sparse shallow setiferous punctures laterally and posteriorly, spiracle near its anterior 0.4; lateromedian longitudinal carinae and lateral longitudinal carinae absent. Sternite I extending posteriorly 0.45–0.5× the length of tergite. Tergite II 1.2– 1.3× as long as posteriorly broad, with dense relatively deep setiferous punctures, distance between punctures usually less than its diameter; punctation of posterior tergites tending to be denser. Ovipositor moderately up-curved at posterior 0.3, 2.25–2.35× as long as hind tibia. Ovipositor sheath 1.85–1.95× as long as hind tibia, ventral margin basally with very small denticles, length of setae on average 2.0–2.5× the sheath basal width.

Colouration ( Fig. 43 View FIGURE 43 ). Head dark brown with clypeus, face except a central pentagonal brown mark, facial, frontal and vertical orbits widely, sometimes dorsal and mid part of genal orbit insinuated, ventral part of gena posteriorly to mandible base, malar space, and mouth parts except apex of mandibles, white cream; antenna brown, scapus, pedicel, annellus and first to third flagellomeres, ventro laterally whitish. Mesosoma mostly orange; propleuron dorsally, mid lateral part of pronotum and most part of propodeum dark brown to black; propleuron ventrally, ventral anterior band and dorsal lateral wide band on pronotum, subalar prominence, tegula, mesepisternum, posterior triangular mark on scutellum and postscutellum, and widely lateral parts of propodeum, white cream. Metasoma mostly dark brown to dark orange; tergites II–V posteriorly widely white cream banded, tergite I laterally, and tergites II–III anterolaterally white cream, tergites II–IV with lateral posterior black spots; 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 dorsal part of tarsi, brown; mid leg with base of trochanter, base and dorsal stripes on femur, dorsal and ventral stripes on 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.
