Figs 1–12 Material examined: COLOMBIA ♀ , Holotype , Boyacá , SFF [Iguaque Flora and Fauna Sanctuary] Iguaque , Sector La Laguna , 5° 25′ N , 73° 27′ W , 2910m , 6.jan.90, C. Sarmiento leg ( MPUJ 0067933 ) ; 1 ♀ Paratype , same data as holotype except 2750m , 18.mar.89, ( MPUJ 0067932 ) . Diagnosis: This species can be easily differentiated from other Cryptophion species by the following combination of characters: occipital carina conspicuous and continuous along its length, mesoscutum uniformly punctate, propodeum rugose-reticulate, with apophyses strongly developed, higher than broad basally, hind tarsal claw fully pectinate to the apical tooth, black coxae, hind femora reddish brown and black, and metasoma yellow with black stripes. Description. Holotype female. Fore wing 11 mm . Head ( Fig. 1 ): Lateral height 1.65 mm . Ventral flange of mandibles well developed and abruptly terminating towards apex ( Fig. 2 ). Clypeus punctate with apical margin truncated. Malar space 1.4× as long as basal width of mandible. Face punctate, height 1.4× its width. Interocellar distance 1.6× orbital-ocellar distance. Lateral ocellus separated from eye by its own diameter. 52 flagellomeres. First flagellomere height 2.3× its width. Second flagellomere height 1.6x height of first flagellomere. Occipital carina conspicuous and continuous along its length. Mesosoma: Mesoscutum uniformly punctate ( Fig. 4 ). Scutellum with a “V shaped lateral longitudinal carinae and bearing dense and long setae ( Fig. 3 ). Mesopleuron mostly punctate ( Fig. 5 ). Speculum striated. Sternaular groove complete and strongly impressed. Posterior transverse carina of mesosternum weakly produced, forming two small lobes ( Fig. 6 ). Metapleuron striated. Juxtacoxal carina absent. Juxtacoxal area punctuated with weak striations. Propodeum spiracle height 2.0× its width. Propodeum rugose-reticulate, with apophyses strongly developed, higher than broadly basally ( Figs 5 , 7 ). Propodeum neck 0.2× the size of hind coxa. Fore basitarus 0.7× as long as of fore t2–t5. Mid basitarus as long as mid t2–t5. Hind basitarus as long as of fore t2–t5. Hind tarsal claws pectinate for their entire length ( Fig. 8 ). Fore wing vein 1cu-a postfurcal relative to M&RS. Abscissa of 2Cu+2cu-a intercepted at middle. Areolet shaped as an equilateral triangle with a small petiole above. Hind wing with anterodistal corner of 1st sub-basal cell forming an 74 angle. Metasoma: First metasomal sternite with transverse striations ( Fig. 9 ). First metasomal segment length 0.6× the second metasomal segment. Ovipositor straight ( Fig. 10 ) and small, 7.3× the length of hind femur. Color. Pubescence gold. Head black. Mouthparts yellow with mandibular teeth reddish brown. Scape entirely black. Mesosoma black. Tegula anteriorly yellow and posteriorly black. Fore coxa black. Fore trochanter to t4 yellow. Fore t5 brown with black tarsal claws. Mid leg with a similar color pattern with exception of trochanter and distal part of tibia brownish. Hind coxa to femour black. Hind tibiae ranging from reddish brown in its distal part to black at its apex. Hind tibial spurs reddish brown. Fore t1-t4 yellow. Fore t5 brown with black tarsal claws. Wings tinged with yellow. Wings veins light brown. First metasomal tergite petiole light brown and postpetiole dark brown. Remaining segments black anteriorly and yellow posteriorly forming a striped pattern. Ovipositor sheaths dark brown. Ovipositor and cerci orangish brown. Male. Unknown Hosts. Unknown Etymology: The specific name is a combination of the Latin words flavus (yellow), nigreos (black) and vittatus (stripe) referring to its unique metasomal coloration. Comments: Cryptophion flavonigrovittatus is morphologically similar to C. strandi and C . atlanticus by having the tarsal claws fully pectinate, scutellum bearing yellowish pubescence, with lateral longitudinal scutellar carinae well-developed or irregular, but never pyramidal in lateral view. Cryptophion atlanticus differs from C . flavonigrovittatus and C . strandi by having a large space in the middle of the hind tarsal claws and having a different metasomal color pattern. The areolet and pterostigma of the fore wing of the male of C. atlanticus resembles the female of C . flavonigravittatus .
