Agonocryptus varus : Yu et al. , 2016 . Catalog. FIGURE 15. Agonocryptus varus ♀. Habitus, head in frontal view, and dorsal view. A, E, K , specimen 1 from Brazil (São Paulo) (539 m); B, O , specimen 2 from Brazil (São Paulo) (532 m); C, G , specimen 3 from Brazil (Pará) (204 m); D , specimen 1 from French Guyana (309 m); F , specimen 4 from Brazil (Pará) (26 m); H , specimen 2 from French Guyana (309 m); I , specimen 5 from Brazil (Amazonas) (52 m); J , specimen 6 from Brazil (Bahia) (193 m); L , specimen 7 from Brazil (São Paulo) (539 m); M , specimen 8 from Brazil (São Paulo?) (510 m); N , specimen 1 from Trinidad and Tobago (13 m); P , specimen 2 from Trinidad and Tobago (250 m). Scale bars: 1 mm. Variation . Clypeal groove black ( Figs 15F–J ) ( vs. concolorous with clypeus); pronotal collar stripe often (27%) entirely yellow or narrowed, but not interrupted ( Figs 15A–C ) ( vs. yellow stripe interrupted centrally); hind coxa dorsally often (33%) with a narrow yellow streak ( Figs 15A, D, K ) ( vs. absent); hind coxa dorso-basally with a small black spot ( Fig. 15K ) ( vs. absent); fore wing sometimes (16%) hyaline with fuscous stripes both medially and apically ( Fig. 15C ) ( vs. without stripes); T2 basally with yellow band ( vs. absent), pre-apically with two dark brown spots ( Figs 15L–O ) ( vs. absent), apex centrally with transversal yellow mark ( Figs 15M–O ) ( vs. absent). FIGURE 16. Agonocryptus varus ♀, specimen 9 from Brazil (Pará) (12 m). Propodeum, hind coxa and T1–2 in dorso-lateral view. Scale bars: 1 mm. FIGURE 17. Males. Habitus, head in frontal view, and dorsal view. A–C , A. discoidaloides , from United States (Michigan) (268 m); D–F , A. physocnemis , from Brasil (Espírito Santo) (sea level). G–I , A. rugifrons , from Argentina (La Rioja) (823 m). Scale bars: 1 mm. FIGURE 18. All known distribution records for Agonocryptus spp. Species presented in alphabetical order. Previously published data plotted as circles, new records as triangles. FIGURE 19. All known distribution records for Agonocryptus spp. Species presented in alphabetical order. Previously published data plotted as circles, new records as triangles. Three specimens (E. E. Jataí and Barretos, both in São Paulo State , southeastern Brazil ) have hind coxa dorso basally with a brown mark ( Fig. 15B ) ( vs. absent). One specimen from Simla ( Trinidad & Tobago ) has T2–6 apical margin centrally with whitish marks ( Fig. 15P ) ( vs. absent). Comments . A pronotal collar with an interrupted yellow stripe is cited by Gupta (1982) as diagnostic for the subspecies, but a complete stripe was observed for about 1/3 of the specimens studied for the present work, namely those from Altamira (Pará State, northern Brazil ), Estação Ecológica Jataí (Luis Antônio), Sales, Pindorama, and Barretos ( São Paulo State , southeastern Brazil ), and Department Santa Cruz ( Bolivia ). FIGURE 20. All known distribution records for Agonocryptus spp. Species presented in alphabetical order. Previously published data plotted as circles, new records as triangles. Distribution . Bolivia NR , Brazil NR (Amazonas, Bahia , Pará, São Paulo ), Colombia NR , French Guyana NR , Panama , and Trinidad & Tobago NR ( Arima Valley) ( Fig. 20H ). Bootstrap analysis suggests that this species has a strong preference for elevations between 400–500 m ( Fig. 20I ), a very strict range if compared with other Agonocryptus spp. ( Fig. 20 ).
