Diagnosis
Clistopyga misionensis sp. nov. can be distinguished from all other species of the C. chaconi species group by the combination of the following characters: wings hyaline with a slightly yellowish tint; propodeum and metapleuron entirely orange; hind coxa dorsally white, ventrally dark brown to black (Fig. 7 A); ovipositor stout, strongly upcurved over apical 0.3–0.4 (Figs 7 A, 8E); clypeal suture slightly curved (Fig. 8 C); occipital carina moderately raised, forming a flat dorsomedial flange, slightly upcurved posteriorly (Fig. 8 A); tergites IV–VI with the dark brown area extending laterally backward on the white posterior band (Fig. 7 A); epicnemial carina weak, its dorsal end considerably below level of centre of pronotum.
Etymology
The name of the species refers to the area where the holotype was collected, Misiones province, Argentina.

Description
Female
MEASUREMENTS. Body length 9–11 mm. Fore wing length 6–8 mm.
HEAD. In dorsal view, strongly narrowed behind eyes. Gena smooth and shiny, with sparse, moderately long setae ventrally, in dorsal view 0.31–0.38 times as long as eye, in frontal view straight and moderately constricted below eyes (Fig. 8 C). Frons smooth and shiny, with a very weak medial longitudinal depression. Vertex smooth and shiny, with very isolated setiferous punctures. Posterior ocellus separated from eye by 0.9–1.0 times its maximum diameter. Distance between hind ocelli 0.75–0.93 times maximum diameter of posterior ocellus. Occipital carina moderately raised, forming a flat dorsomedial flange, slightly upcurved posteriorly (Fig. 8 A). Face with strong and dense setiferous punctures, distance between punctures about diameter of punctures. Clypeal suture slightly curved. Clypeus 1.52–1.74 times as broad as medially long, weakly convex in dorsal half, flat in ventral half, with apical margin truncate. Malar space 0.75–0.85 times as long as basal mandibular width, with deep and narrow sulcus between eye and mandible, sulcus short, evanescent towards mandibular base, forming a triangular granulate area (Fig. 8 C). Antenna with 33 flagellomeres, first flagellomere 5.56–7.0 times as long as wide.
MESOSOMA. Pronotum shiny, mostly smooth, with very 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 0.5 of length of mesoscutum. Mesopleuron shiny, mostly smooth, with moderately sparse and fine setiferous punctures except in dorsal posterior part. Epicnemial carina weak, its dorsal end weakly curved backward, ending moderately far from anterior margin of mesopleuron, considerably below level of centre of pronotum. Metapleuron smooth and shiny, with fine and sparse setiferous punctures, 1.82–1.90 times as long as deep. Propodeum smooth and shiny, with sparse and fine setiferous punctures except in dorsal posterior part; in dorsal view 0.97– 1.0 times as long as medially wide. Propodeal spiracle situated above groove separating propodeum and metapleuron. Hind leg with femur 3.7–3.8 times as long as deep, 0.92–1.0 times as long as tibia. Fore wing with vein cu-a more or less 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 1.53–2.0 times as long as Cu 1b. Hind wing with vein cu-a 0.39–0.41 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 slightly reclivous. Vein Cu 1 barely pigmented.
METASOMA. Tergite I 1.67–1.79 times as long as posteriorly broad, smooth and shiny, with very fine, relatively dense 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 0.35 of length of tergite. Sternite I extending back about 0.5 of length of tergite. Tergite II 1.04–1.15 times as long as posteriorly broad, central region shiny, with fine and moderately dense setiferous punctures; rest of tergites shiny, more densely punctate. Ovipositor stout, strongly upcurved at distal 0.35, matt (Fig. 8 E), 1.3–1.43 times as long as hind tibia. Ovipositor sheath about 1.0–1.1 times as long as hind tibia; length of setae on average about 1.3 times sheath basal width (Fig. 8 E).
COLOURATION. Body primarily orange, black and white (Fig 7 A). Antenna brownish, pallid towards base of external side including pedicel and distal rim of scape. Head black with clypeus, base of mandible, ventral part of gena, inner eye orbit, two longitudinal blotches on the face and two transverse blotches under antennal sockets white. Palpi orange. Mesosoma entirely orange, except two sublateral black marks on posterior rim of propodeum, sometimes posterior part of metapleuron and sublateral posterior part of propodeum yellowish. Tegula orange. Wings hyaline, with a slightly yellow tint, pterostigma brown. Fore leg orange. Mid leg mostly orange, with coxa dorsally and proximal part of tarsomeres yellowish, ventral part of coxa entirely or partially, posterior part of trochanter and distal part of tarsomeres dark brown. Hind leg black with coxa dorsally, trochanter apically and sometimes trochantellus, femur distally and centrally (non-defined band), wide band in middle of tibia and proximal half of tarsal segments white. Metasoma dark brown to black, anterior corners of tergites I–IV and posterior band of tergites I– VI (VII) white, posterior corners of tergites I–III with black spots, tergites IV–VI with dark brown area extending laterally backward. Ovipositor dark brown. Ovipositor sheath black.
