Diagnosis
Clistopyga mocaguae
sp. nov.
can be distinguished from all other species of the
C. chaconi
species group by the combination of the following characters: wings hyaline, propodeum and metapleuron black and white or cream yellow (
Figs 3
B, 10D); clypeal suture slightly curved (
Figs 4
D, 11D); antenna with about 33 flagellomeres; occipital carina strongly raised, forming a dorsomedial flange, conspicuously upcurved posteriorly (
Figs 4
B, 11F) and malar space about 0.65 times basal width of mandible. Female with tergite II as long as broad (
Fig. 5
B); metapleuron 1.7 times as long as deep. Male with face strongly and densely punctate (
Fig. 11
D), first flagellomere 5.6 times as long as wide and hind femur about 3.7 times as long as deep.
Etymology
The name of the species refers to the locality where the
type
was collected, Mocagua, Amazonas.

Description
Female
MEASUREMENTS. Body length
10.2 mm
. Fore wing length
7 mm
.
HEAD. In dorsal view, strongly narrowed behind eyes. Gena with very few isolated, fine setiferous punctures, in dorsal view 0.4 times as long as eye, in anterior view slightly rounded and strongly constricted below eyes (
Fig. 4
D). Frons smooth and shiny. Vertex smooth and shiny, with very isolated setiferous punctures. Posterior ocellus separated from eye by 0.95 times its maximum diameter. Distance between hind ocelli 0.9 times maximum diameter of posterior ocellus. Occipital carina strongly raised, forming a dorsomedial flange, conspicuously upcurved posteriorly (
Fig. 4
B). Occiput in dorsal view straight. Face strongly and densely punctate, distance between punctures less than twice diameter of puncture. Clypeal suture slightly curved. Clypeus 1.85 times as broad as medially long, quite strongly convex. Malar space with deep and narrow sulcus between eye and mandible, 0.65 times as long as basal mandibular width (
Fig. 4
D). Antenna with at least 30 flagellomeres (distal flagellomeres missing in single available female), first flagellomere about 5.6 times as long as wide.
MESOSOMA. Pronotum mostly smooth and shiny, finely punctate in upper part. Epomia absent.Mesoscutum smooth and shiny, with very sparse setiferous punctures on median and lateral lobes. Notauli shallow, extending from anterolateral margin of mesoscutum to about 0.4 its length. Mesopleuron shiny, mostly smooth, with moderately strong and sparse setiferous punctures except in dorsal posterior part; ventrally slightly granulate. Epicnemial carina strong, with dorsal end almost straight, ending far from anterior margin of mesopleuron below level of centre of pronotum. Metapleuron smooth and shiny, sometimes with sparse fine setiferous punctures dorsally, 1.7 times as long as deep. Propodeum smooth and shiny, with very sparse and fine setiferous punctures laterally; in dorsal view 1.0 times as long as medially wide. Propodeal spiracle situated immediately above groove separating propodeum and metapleuron.

METASOMA. First tergite 1.75 times as long as posteriorly broad, smooth and shiny, with very fine, sparse setiferous punctures laterally and posteriorly; spiracle near its basal 0.35; lateromedian longitudinal carina strong, reaching about 0.3 of length of tergite, lateral longitudinal carina absent. Sternite I extending back about 0.6 of length of tergite. Second tergite 1.0 times as long as posteriorly broad, central region with large, shallow, sparse setiferous punctures (
Fig. 5
B); rest of tergites shiny, more densely and strongly punctate. Ovipositor slender, distinctly upcurved at distal 0.45, 1.4 times as long as hind tibia. Ovipositor sheath 1.4 times as long as hind tibia, length of setae on average about 2.4 times sheath basal width (

COLOURATION. Body primarily orange, black and white (
Fig. 3
B). Antenna brown with scape, pedicel, and basal flagellomeres in ventral part white. Head black, with ventral part of gena, basal half of mandible, inner eye orbit, two blotches under antennal insertions and two blotches on face white.
