Diagnosis.
Clistopyga panchei
sp. nov.
can be distinguished from all other species of the
C. isayae
species group by the combination of the following characters: mesoscutum with moderately long and sparse setiferous punctures (
Fig. 6D
); antenna with 24 flagellomeres; occipital carina completely absent; subalar prominence sparsely punctate, with about 18 setiferous punctures (
Fig. 11C
); epicnemial carina ending slightly below level of centre of pronotum; hind wing with vein
cu-a
about 0.29 × as long as abscissa of
Cu
1 between
M
and
cu-a
(
Fig. 6H
); setae of ovipositor sheath with a length on average about 1.85 × the sheath basal width.
Description. Female:
Body length
8.3 mm
. Fore wing length
5.6 mm
.
Head
(
Figs 6A–C
). In dorsal view, moderately narrowed behind eyes. Gena smooth and shiny with uniformly sparse setiferous punctures, in dorsal view 0.26 × as long as eye (
Fig. 6C
), in frontal view almost straight and moderately constricted below eyes. Frons smooth and shiny. Vertex smooth and shiny, with very isolated setiferous punctures. Posterior ocellus separated from eye 1.08 × its maximum diameter (
Fig. 6C
). Distance between hind ocelli 0.92 × maximum diameter of posterior ocellus. Occipital carina completely absent. Face with fine and dense setiferous punctures, distance between punctures more than twice the diameter of punctures. Clypeal suture strongly curved (
Fig. 6B
). Clypeus 1.80 × as broad as medially long, distinctly convex in dorsal half, flat in ventral half, with apical margin bilobate. Malar space 0.76 × as long as basal mandibular width, with a granulate stripe between eye and mandible (
Figs 6A, B
). Antenna with 24 flagellomeres, first flagellomere 6.5 × as long as wide.
Mesosoma
(
Figs 6D,
6I
,
11C
). Pronotum shiny, mostly smooth, with fine and scattered setiferous punctures in upper posterior part. Mesoscutum entirely smooth and shiny, with moderately long and sparse setiferous punctures. Notauli moderately deep, reaching about 0.38 of length of mesoscutum (
Fig.
6I
). Mesopleuron shiny, with moderately sparse setiferous punctures, except in posterior part under speculum. Subalar prominence sparsely punctate, with about 18 setiferous punctures (
Fig. 11C
). Epicnemial carina weak, its dorsal end straight, ending slightly below level of centre of pronotum. Metapleuron shiny, glabrous, except for some sparse setiferous punctures at posterior end, 2.5 × as long as deep. Propodeum smooth and shiny, with sparse and fine setiferous punctures laterally; in dorsal view 1.3 × as long as medially wide. Propodeal spiracle contiguous with groove separating propodeum and metapleuron, groove barely interrupted by spiracle (
Fig. 6D
). Hind leg with femur about 3.4 × as long as deep, about 0.95 × as long as tibia.
Wings
(
Figs 6 G–H
). Fore wing with vein
cu-a
opposite
Rs
&
M
. Vein 2
rs-m
about 0.38 × 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
1.44 × as long as
Cu
1
b
(
Fig. 6G
). Hind wing with vein
cu-a
about 0.29 × as long as abscissa of
Cu
1 between
M
and
cu-a
(
Fig. 6H
). Vein
cu-a
reclivous, abscissa of
Cu
1 vertical and straight. Vein
Cu
1 well pigmented.
Metasoma
(
Figs 6E–F, 6J
,
9D
). Tergite I 1.7 × as long as posteriorly broad (
Fig. 9D
), smooth and shiny, with fine and relatively dense setiferous punctures laterally; spiracle near its basal 0.4; lateromedian longitudinal carinae strong, reaching about 0.2 of length of tergite; lateral longitudinal carinae basally strong, reaching about 0.35 of length of tergite. Sternite I extending back about 0.4 of length of tergite. Tergite II 1.50 × as long as posteriorly broad (
Fig. 6J
), central region shiny, with very fine and moderately sparse setiferous punctures; rest of tergites shiny, progressively more densely and strongly punctate. Ovipositor slender, shiny, very weakly upcurved at distal 0.2, 3.2 × as long as hind tibia (
Fig. 6F
). Ovipositor sheath about 2.4 × as long as hind tibia, length of setae on average about 1.85 × the sheath basal width.
Colouration
. Head black with clypeus, frontal orbits widely, lower gena, and mouthparts, except apex of mandibles, white; antenna blackish brown, ventrally pallid proximally, and with pedicel and scape ventrally white (
Figs 6A–C
).
Mesosoma
with most of mesoscutum and upper half of mesopleuron red; medial lobe of mesoscutum laterally, scutellum laterally, metanotum, tegula, subalar prominence, lower half of mesopleuron and mesepimeron white; propleuron white; pronotum red with anterior and upper margins white; propodeum white with a broad black mediodorsal stripe (
Figs 6D, I
). Metasoma with tergites blackish brown; tergite I with lateral and posterior margins marked with white (
Fig. 9D
); tergites II–VI white marked posterolaterally, although with extreme posterolateral margins black (
Fig. 6E, J
); ovipositor sheath black. Anterior two pair of legs predominantly white, fore trochanter proximally black, fore and middle femora and tibia dorsally striped with black and tarsi infuscate; hind leg white with coxa laterally, trochanter proximally, femur laterally and proximally, and tibia proximally, laterally and distally black; hind tarsal segments predominantly blackish. Wings hyaline, pterostigma blackish brown.
