Taxon discussion.
In 1984 Dr. K. Kusigemati described eleven new
Pimplinae
species from South
East Asia
. According to the original description (
Kusigemati 1984
)
C. nagatomii
, a species described from
Thailand
, is similar to
C. latifrontalis
, but is distinguished by the following features: flagellum with around 17 segments, face strongly punctate, trans-striate frons, mat propodeum with weak median longitudinal carinae, face and thorax entirely black, and different colouration of the metasoma.
Clistopyga nagatomii
was never compared with
Clistopyga
species from other geographic regions. Our examination of the
holotypes
of the European
C. sziladyi
and the Oriental
C. nagatomii
have shown that both species are delimited by the same morphological characters: both have a black face which is closely punctate centrally, red hind femora and tibia which are apically fuscous, black mesosoma and face, granulate pronotum, metapleuron and propodeum, and reddish central metasomal tergites. The hind wings in both species have the first abscissa of vein
Cu
1 approximately 2 × longer than the vein
cu-a
and vein
Cu
1 present, but almost unpigmented. Also, the ovipositor is relatively short, upcurved, and 0.95–1 × the length of the hind tibia. We therefore consider
C. nagatomii
to be a junior synonym (syn. nov.) of
C. sziladyi
.
