Diagnosis
Clistopyga porteri sp. nov. can be distinguished from all other species of the C. chaconi species group by the combination of the following characters: wings very weakly infuscate; propodeum and metapleuron black and yellow; mesopleuron and mesosternum orange (Fig. 3 D); clypeal suture strongly curved (Fig. 6 B); tergite II 1.3 times as long as broad; metapleuron about 2.0 times as long as deep; antenna with 36 flagellomeres; epicnemial carina very weak, ending considerably below level of centre of pronotum; hind wing with vein cu-a + abscissa of Cu 1 between M and cu-a strongly reclivous (Fig. 6 D); gena, in frontal view, straight and moderately constricted below eyes (Fig. 6 B); ovipositor weakly and evenly upcurved over apical 0.5 (Fig. 6 F).
Etymology
The name of the species refers to the late Charles Porter, one of the pioneers of Neotropical ichneumonology.

Description
Female
MEASUREMENTS. Body length 11 mm. Fore wing length 8 mm
HEAD. In dorsal view, strongly narrowed behind eyes. Gena smooth and shiny, with sparse, moderately long setae ventrally, in dorsal view about 0.4 times as long as eye, in frontal view straight and moderately constricted below eyes (Fig. 6 B). Frons smooth and shiny, with a weak medial longitudinal groove. Vertex smooth and shiny, with very isolated setiferous punctures. Posterior ocellus separated from eye about 0.8 times its maximum diameter. Distance between hind ocelli about 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 1.8 times as broad as medially long, weakly convex in dorsal half, flat in ventral half, with apical margin truncate. Malar space 0.87 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. 6 B). Antenna with 36 flagellomeres, first flagellomere about 6.2 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 and sparse setiferous punctures. Notauli shallow, reaching about half of length of mesoscutum. Mesopleuron shiny, mostly smooth, with very sparse and fine setiferous punctures, except in dorsal posterior part. Epicnemial carina very weak, its dorsal end far from anterior margin of mesopleuron, considerably below level of centre of pronotum. Metapleuron smooth and shiny, with fine and sparse setiferous punctures, about 2.0 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 about 3.6 times as long as deep, 0.9 times as long as tibia. Fore wing with vein cu-a opposite Rs & M. Vein 2 rs-m shorter 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 about 1.8 times as long as Cu 1b. Hind wing with vein cu-a 0.55 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 strongly reclivous. Vein Cu 1 distinctly pigmented.
METASOMA. Tergite I about 1.8 times as long as posteriorly broad, smooth and shiny, with very fine, sparse setiferous punctures laterally and posteriorly; spiracle near its basal 0.3; lateromedian longitudinal carinae strong, reaching about 0.2 of length of tergite; lateral longitudinal carinae absent. Sternite I extending back about 0.6 of length of tergite. Tergite II 1.3 times as long as posteriorly broad, central region shiny, with fine and moderately dense setiferous punctures; rest of tergites shiny, more densely and strongly punctate. Ovipositor slender, weakly and evenly upcurved at distal 0.5 (Fig. 6 F), matt, 1.35 times as long as hind tibia. Ovipositor sheath about 1.0 times as long as hind tibia, length of setae on average about twice sheath basal width (Fig. 6 F).
COLOURATION. Body primarily orange, black and white (Fig. 3 D). Antenna brown, with scape, pedicel and basal flagellomeres in ventral part white. Head black, with clypeus, base of mandibles, ventral part of gena and inner eye orbit, two longitudinal blotches on face and two transverse blotches under antennal sockets white. Palpi yellow. Propleuron orange, with dorsal part and ventral margin infuscate. Pronotum mostly orange, with anterior margin yellow. Mesopleuron orange, with subalar prominence, posterior margin and posterior ventral corner yellow. Mesosternum orange. Metapleuron yellow, with ventral part black. Mesoscutum and prescutellar groove orange. Scutellum light orange, yellow at apex. Metanotum orange, with postscutellum yellow. Propodeum mostly yellow, with anterior margin, pleural groove and a broad central longitudinal stripe black. Tegula light orange and yellow. Wings very weakly infuscate, pterostigma dark brown. Fore leg light orange, with basal and lateral parts of coxa, dorsal longitudinal stripe on femur and distal parts of tarsomeres dark brown. Mid leg predominantly yellowish, with distal ventral part of coxa, dorsal stripe on trochanter, femur, tibia and distal part of tarsomeres black. Hind leg predominantly yellow, with ventral half of coxa, base of trochanter, base and subdistal band on femur, basal and distal part of tibia, and distal part of tarsomeres dark brown to black. Metasoma dark brown to black, anterior corners of tergites I–III yellowish, posterior band of tergites I–V (VI) yellowish. Posterior corners of tergites I–III with black spots. Ovipositor brown. Ovipositor sheath black.
