Diagnosis
Clistopyga yabuquensis 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; mesopleuron ventrally and mesosternum yellow (Figs 3 C, 10B); clypeal suture strongly curved (Figs 6 A, 11B). Female with tergite II 1.3–1.4 times as long as broad; metapleuron 1.8–1.9 times as long as deep; antenna with 35–36 flagellomeres; epicnemial carina strong, reaching level of centre of pronotum; hind wing with vein cu-a + abscissa of Cu 1 between M and cu-a vertical (Fig. 6 C); gena, in frontal view, slightly rounded and strongly constricted below eyes (Fig. 6 A); ovipositor sinuous and slightly upcurved over apical 0.4 (Fig. 6 E). Male with face strongly and densely punctate (Fig. 11 B); first flagellomere 5.45 times as long as wide; hind femur about 4.2 times as long as deep.
Etymology
The name of the species refers to the area where the holotype was collected, Yabucu, Mexico.

Description
Female
MEASUREMENTS. Body length 12 mm. Fore wing length 7–8 mm.
HEAD. In dorsal view, strongly narrowed behind eyes. Gena smooth and shiny, with sparse, moderately long setae ventrally, in dorsal view 0.4–0.5 times as long as eye, in frontal view slightly rounded and strongly constricted below eyes (Fig. 6 A). Frons smooth and shiny, with a weak medial longitudinal hollow. Vertex smooth and shiny, with very isolated setiferous punctures. Posterior ocellus separated from eye about 0.7–0.8 times its maximum diameter. Distance between hind ocelli 0.85–1.0 times maximum diameter of posterior ocellus. Occipital carina strongly raised, forming a dorsomedial flange, conspicuously upcurved posteriorly. Face strongly and densely punctate, distance between punctures about diameter of punctures. Clypeal suture strongly curved. Clypeus 1.7–2.4 times as broad as medially long, weakly convex in dorsal half, flat in ventral half, with apical margin truncate. Malar space 0.75– 0.9 times as long as basal mandibular width, with a deep, narrow, smooth and shiny sulcus between eye and mandible (Fig. 6 A). Antenna with 35–36 flagellomeres, first flagellomere 5.4–6.3 times as long as wide.
MESOSOMA. Pronotum shiny, mostly smooth, with fine and sparse setiferous punctures in upper posterior part. Mesoscutum entirely smooth and shiny, median lobe anteriorly with very fine, shallow and sparse setiferous punctures. Notauli shallow, reaching about 0.4 of length of mesoscutum. Mesopleuron shiny, mostly smooth, with very sparse and fine setiferous punctures except in dorsal posterior part. Epicnemial carina strong, its dorsal end far from anterior margin of mesopleuron, ending at level of centre of pronotum. Metapleuron smooth and shiny, with fine and sparse setiferous punctures, 1.8–1.9 times as long as deep. Propodeum smooth and shiny, with sparse and fine setiferous punctures laterally; in dorsal view 0.90–0.95 times as long as medially wide. Propodeal spiracle situated immediately above groove separating propodeum and metapleuron. Hind leg with femur 3.7–3.8 times as long as deep, 0.8– 0.9 times as long as tibia. Fore wing with vein cu-a opposite Rs & M. Vein 2 rs-m longer than half length of abscissa of M between 2 rs-m and 2 m-cu. Abscissa of Cu 1 between 1 m-cu and Cu 1a 1.5–1.6 times as long as Cu 1b. Hind wing with vein cu-a 0.4-0.5 times as long as abscissa of Cu 1 between M and cu-a. Vein cu-a + abscissa of Cu 1 between M and cu-a vertical (Fig. 6 C). Vein Cu 1 distinctly pigmented.
METASOMA. Tergite I 1.67–1.75 times as long as posteriorly broad, smooth and shiny, with very fine, sparse setiferous punctures laterally and posteriorly; spiracle near its basal 0.4; lateromedian longitudinal carinae strong, reaching about 0.2 of length of tergite; lateral longitudinal carinae strong, reaching about 0.2 of length of tergite. Sternite I extending back about 0.5 of length of tergite. Tergite II 1.3–1.4 times as long as posteriorly broad, central region shiny, with fine and moderately sparse setiferous punctures; rest of tergites shiny, more densely and strongly punctate. Ovipositor slender, sinuous and slightly upcurved over apical 0.4, matt, 1.2–1.45 times as long as hind tibia (Figs 3 C, 6E). Ovipositor sheath 0.9–1.1 times as long as hind tibia, length of setae on average 2.0–2.4 times sheath basal width (Fig. 6 E).
COLOURATION. Body primarily orange, black and white (Fig. 3 C). Antenna brown with scape, pedicel, and basal flagellomeres in ventral part white. Head black, with clypeus, basal half of mandible, ventral part of gena and inner eye orbit white. Face from dark brown (with a white band below antennal sockets and two longitudinal blotches) to entirely white, with a median dark spot. Palpi white. Propleuron white, dorsally black. Pronotum mostly orange, with anterior and dorsal margin white, dorsal anterior part infuscate. Mesopleuron mostly yellow, with a large dorsal orange mark below subalar prominence. Mesosternum yellow. Metapleuron white, with ventral part black. Mesoscutum and prescutellar groove orange. Scutellum yellow, centrally orange, sometimes with apex white. Metanotum black, with postscutellum white. Propodeum mostly white, with anterior margin, pleural groove and a broad central longitudinal band black. Tegula orange. Wings hyaline, pterostigma dark brown. Fore leg and mid leg predominantly white, with coxae ventrally in part, dorsal stripe on trochanters, femora, tibiae and distal part of tarsomeres black. Hind leg white, with coxa ventrally, trochanter, femur proximally and subdistally, tibia proximally and distally and distal part of tarsomeres black. Metasoma black, with anterior corners of tergites I–V and posterior band of tergites I–VII white; posterior corners or margins of tergites I–III black. Ovipositor light brown. Ovipositor sheath black.
Male (Figs 10 B, 11B)
As female, but body length 11 mm, fore wing length 6 mm. Gena in dorsal view about 0.35 times as long as eye, in frontal view slightly rounded and strongly constricted below eyes (Fig. 11 B). Posterior ocellus separated from eye about 0.9 times its maximum diameter. Malar space as long as basal mandibular width, with deep and narrow sulcus between eye and mandible, evanescent towards mandibular base, forming a wide triangular granulate area (Fig. 11 B). Antenna broken in single available specimen, with at least 19 flagellomeres. Metapleuron about 1.70 times as long as deep. Hind leg with femur 4.2 times as long as deep, 0.84 times as long as tibia. Abscissa of Cu 1 between 1 m-cu and Cu 1a about 1.75 times as long as Cu 1b. Tergite I about 1.9 times as long as posteriorly broad, lateral longitudinal carinae strong, reaching about 0.4 of length of tergite. Sternite I extending back about 0.6 of length of tergite. Tergite II about 1.4 times as long as posteriorly broad.
COLOURATION. As in female, but face entirely yellow (Fig. 11 B), metapleuron more extensively yellow marked, fore and mid coxa and fore trochanter entirely yellow; hind coxa with anterior and posterior black marks. Black posterior marks of metasomal tergites present from tergites I to IV (Fig. 10 B).
