The Clistopyga diazi species group

Diagnosis. This species group may easily be distinguished from other Neotropical Clistopyga species groups by propodeum with fine, dense and transverse striation ( Figs 3A , 4D , 5B , 6E , 7B ). Additionally, female has occipital carina complete, in dorsal view slightly concave; antenna with 23–31 flagellomeres; epomia very short or absent; notauli deep, reaching 0.5–0.6 the length of mesoscutum ( Figs 3B , 4B , 5B , 6D , 7B ); propodeum 1.15–1.57× as long as medially wide in dorsal view ( Figs 5B , 7B ); ovipositor evenly up-curved at distal 0.26–0.35 ( Figs 3F , 4F , 5F , 6G , 7G ), and basal ventral margin of ovipositor sheaths with small denticles ( Figs 3D , 5D , 7E ).
