Description, distribution, keyed. Holotype ♀ (UATM, not examined). Type data: México , Tamaulipas , Llera , Rio Guayalejo , 11.VIII.2000 , D.R. Kasparyan. Messatoporus rufator : Kasparyan & Ruíz 2008: 309–310 , 333–334. Description, distribution, figure, keyed. Female . Fore wing 6.20 mm . HEAD: Antenna with 25 flagellomeres; flagellum subapically slightly flattened. THORAX: Pronotum glabrous, shiny, impunctate; epomia apparently weak and short. Mesoscutum moderately and uniformly convex, shiny, scarcely punctate. Subalar ridge moderately projected; epicnemial carina reaching about 0.85 of distance to subalar ridge, irregular; scrobe very shallow. Transverse sulcus at base of propodeum very wide. Fore tibia distinctly swollen. PROPODEUM: Shiny. Propodeal wrinkles weak; posterior transverse carina distinct as very weak sublateral crests. WINGS: Fore wing vein 1-Rs+M weakly sinuous, with bulla placed on basal 0.25; crossvein 1m-cu more irregular, limit between 1m-cu and 1-Rs+M more or less traceable; vein 1M+Rs anteriorly straight, posteriorly weakly curved; fore wing crossvein 1 cu-a basad of 1M+Rs by about 0.3 of its own length; vein 2Cua much shorter than crossvein 2cu-a; bulla of crossvein 2m-cu placed mostly on posterior half; cell 1+2Rs small, pentagonal, about as high as wide; crossvein 3r-m fully spectral; vein 3-M about as long as 2-M; 4-Rs slightly sinuous; 4-M mostly spectral, irregular. METASOMA: First tergite moderately long, about 0.36 × as long as T2–8, strongly depressed; spiracle on 0.42 of its length; median depression distinct. OST 0.85; ovipositor straight. Color . Head, mesosoma and metasoma pale yellow with blackish marks. Head: black; clypeus, mandible except apex, mouthparts, malar space, supra-clypeal area, scape ventrally and complete orbital band, pale yellow (237,228,123); scape dorsally and pedicel brown; f8–14 white. Mesosoma: mostly pale yellow; mesoscutum except U-shaped mark, posterior margin of scutellum, scutellar and axillary carinae, axillary through, small marks ventrad to subalar ridge and at scrobe, anterior area of propodeum except small lateral spots, lateral borders and posterior spot on propodeum, black; fore and mid legs pale yellow; hind coxa anteriorly light orange, posteriorly pale yellow, on basal 0.4 with blackish mark between orange and yellow areas; hind trochanters and femur, orangish-yellow; hind tibia yellow with extreme apex brownish; hind tarsus white, except basal 0.2 of t1 and apex of t5, brownish. Metasoma: mostly pale yellow; T1 with median blackish mark surrounded by brownish area; T2–8 anteriorly brownish to blackish. Male. Unknown. Comments . Readily recognized by the following combination of characters: yellowish spot on mesoscutum Ushaped, pronotum entirely yellow, postscutellum yellow, mesopleuron almost entirely yellow and tibial spurs basally blackish, apically whitish. Biology . Unknown. Material examined . Pictures of the holotype . Pinned. Left tarsus missing; otherwise in good shape. Distribution . Recorded only from the type locality, in northeastern Mexico ( Fig. 359 ).
