Diagnosis.
This species can be distinguished from the other Uruguayan species of the genus by the combination of the following character states: 1) wings hyaline with weak brownish staining; 2) mesosoma shining black; 3) metasoma black with more or less brown staining on apical rims; 4) laterotergite V 1.4-1.6 times as long as wide; 5) legs orange with fore coxae orange or black, fore and mid tarsi slightly duller orange to slightly dusky, hind tibia duller orange with rather weak blackish staining on apex, hind tarsus extensively blackish to black; 6) tergite II with larger and stronger punctures; 7) malar space 1.0-1.1 (0.85-1.0 in male) times as long as basal width of mandibles; 8) ovipositor 1.3-1.6 times as long as hind tibia; 9) ovipositor cylindric, apex of dorsal valve without teeth and ventral valve with gently convex teeth on tip.

Etymology.
The new specific name "
Pimpla patirrufa
" is derived from the Spanish words "patas rufas", and refers to the Spanish transliteration of "
Pimpla rufipes
", the original name proposed by
Brulle
. The name is to be treated as a noun in apposition.
Remarks.
Pimpla patirrufa
nom. nov. is a replacement name for
P. rufipes
Brulle
, 1846. The name "
Pimpla rufipes
" was already occupied by
Pimpla rufipes
(Miller, 1759). According to the International Code Zoological Nomenclature, Article 57 (ICZN 1999), we propose a replacement name for this primary junior homonym. This homonymy may have caused some confusion in the literature.
Coruh
and Kesdek (2008),
Oezbek
and
Coruh
(2012)
, and
Coruh
et al. (2014) cited
P. rufipes
Brulle
, 1846 from Turkey and
Horstmann (2001)
cited this species from Germany, but these authors most probably wanted to refer to
P. rufipes
(Miller, 1759).
Pimpla rufipes
(Miller, 1759) is a widespread Old World species (
Yu et al. 2016
). However, as
Coccygomimus instigator
(Fabricius, 1793) (currently junior synonym of
P. rufipes
(Miller, 1759), it was introduced at least five times between 1972 and 1978 to USA from Morocco, Yugoslavia, Iran, Poland and Romania (
Coulson et al. 1986
).
Zwakhals (2005)
listed some morphological differences of
P. rufipes
(Miller, 1759) in comparsion with other European species of
Pimpla
. Some of these characteristics assure us that this species is not closely related to
P. rufipes
Brulle
, 1846, as pubescence is whitish and the coxae and trochanter are reddish in
Brulle's
species and pubescence is fuscous and the coxae and trochanter are black in
Miller's
species. In addition,
P. rufipes
Brulle
, 1846 has a distribution restricted to South America (Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay).
