Figs 7 C, 9A–B
Diagnosis
Clistopyga hayesiana 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 cream white, ventrally orange; hind femur mostly yellow cream, with basal and subapical dark brown and orange marks, respectively (Fig. 7 C); ovipositor slender, sinuous, weakly and evenly upcurved over apical 0.3–0.4 (Figs 7 C, 9B), about 1.55 times as long as hind tibia; antenna with 30 flagellomeres, first flagellomere about 4.9 times as long as wide; clypeus twice as wide as long (Fig. 9 A); hind wing with vein cu-a about 0.9 times abscissa of Cu 1 between M and cu-a.
Etymology
The name of the species refers to the area where the holotype was collected, Department of Presidente Hayes, Paraguay.
Material examined
Holotype
PARAGUAY: ♀, Dept. Presidente Hayes, Estancia Santa Rita, 23˚27'37.7" S, 57˚27'16.0" W, 73 m, Malaise trap, 2–3 Oct. 2005, coll. B. Garcete (ZMUT).
Description
Female
MEASUREMENTS. Body length 8 mm. Fore wing length 6 mm.
HEAD. In dorsal view, strongly narrowed behind eyes. Gena smooth and shiny, with very sparse, moderately long setae ventrally, in dorsal view 0.45 times as long as eye, in frontal view straight and moderately constricted below eyes (Fig. 9 A). 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 about 1.1 times its maximum diameter. Distance between hind ocelli about 1.0 times maximum diameter of posterior ocellus. Occipital carina moderately raised, forming a dorsomedial flange, weakly upcurved posteriorly. Face with fine and dense setiferous punctures, distance between punctures about diameter of punctures. Clypeal suture slightly curved, almost straight. Clypeus twice as broad as medially long, weakly convex in dorsal half, flat in ventral half, with apical margin truncate. Malar space 0.95 times as long as basal mandibular width, with deep and narrow sulcus between eye and mandible, sulcus short, evanescent towards mandibular base, forming a wide triangular granulate area (Fig. 9 A). Antenna with 30 flagellomeres, first flagellomere about 4.9 times as long as wide.
MESOSOMA. Pronotum and mesoscutum entirely smooth and shiny. Notauli weak, reaching about 0.5 length of mesoscutum. Mesopleuron entirely smooth and shiny, with few fine setiferous punctures at lateral posterior part. Epicnemial carina very weak, its dorsal end ending far from anterior margin of mesopleuron, considerably below level of centre of pronotum. Metapleuron smooth and shiny, with fine and very sparse setiferous punctures, about 1.9 times as long as deep. Propodeum smooth and shiny, with sparse and fine setiferous punctures laterally; in dorsal view about 1.0 times as long as medially wide. Propodeal spiracle situated immediately above groove separating propodeum and metapleuron. Hind leg with femur 3.7 times as long as deep, 0.8 times as long as tibia. Fore wing with vein cu-a opposite Rs & M. Vein 2 rs-m about 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 about 1.8 times as long as Cu 1b. Hind wing with vein cu-a 0.9 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 weakly pigmented.
METASOMA. Tergite I 1.75 times as long as posteriorly broad, smooth and shiny, with very fine, sparse setiferous punctures laterally and posteriorly; spiracle near its basal 0.35; lateromedian longitudinal carinae strong, reaching about 0.3 of length of tergite; lateral longitudinal carinae strong, reaching about 0.2 of length of tergite, sternite I extending back about 0.55 of length of tergite. Tergite II 1.25 times as long as posteriorly broad, central region shiny, with large, shallow and moderately sparse puctures; rest of tergites shiny, more denselly punctate. Ovipositor slender, sinuous, slightly upcurved over apical 0.35, matt, about 1.55 times as long as hind tibia. Ovipositor sheath about 1.1 times as long as hind tibia, length of setae on average about twice sheath basal width (Fig. 9 B).
COLOURATION. Body primarily orange, brown and white (Fig. 7 C). Antenna light brown, yellowish towards base of external side including pedicel and apical part of scape. Head almost completely white, but frons, vertex, upper part of gena, teeth of mandible, clypeal foveae, malar sulcus and occiput black. Mesosoma entirely orange, except two sublateral black marks on posterior rim of propodeum. Tegula light brown. Wings hyaline with a slightly yellow tint, pterostigma blackish brown. Fore and mid legs yellow cream. Hind leg mostly yellow cream, ventral part of coxa, base of trochanter and subapical band on femur orange, base of femur, basal and distal part of tibia and apical parts of tarsi dark brown. Metasoma dark brown, tergite I mostly orange, yellowish at base, anterior corners of tergites II–IV white, posterior band of tergites I–VII white. Posterior corners of tergites II–III with black spots. Ovipositor light brown. Ovipositor sheath brown.
