Type material.
Holotype: ♀, China: Yunnan: Mengla: Wangtianshu Forest Park, 21°34'N, 101°39'E, 1.V.2005, coll. Peng Wang (YNAU). Paratypes: 2♀, same data as holotype; 1♀, China: Yunnan: Dehong: Nabang, 24°26'N, 98°35'E, 15.V.2009, No. 201005193, coll. Jie Zeng (YNAU).
Diagnosis.
Within Chinese Carinostigmus , this new species can be separated by the following character combinations: free margin of clypeus conspicuously produced, slightly emarginated in middle; median and lower frons with shallow frontal median furrow; inter-antennal tubercle distinctly broadened at apex; vertex behind ocelli finely punctate; lower gena coarsely punctate; occipital carina without foveolate; anterior pronotal ridge narrowly emarginate in middle; scutellum median line impressed; propodeum with small smooth area medially; basal half of petiole with transverse striations; petiole laterally carinate. Carinostigmus longivertex sp. nov. resembles C. iwatai ( Tsuneki) 1954, but can be distinguished from it by the following characters (characters of C. iwatai in brackets): free margin of clypeus emarginated medially (free margin of clypeus truncate medially); inter-antennal tubercle distinctly broadened at apex as Fig. 3B View Figure 3 (inter-antennal tubercle not broad as Fig. 4B View Figure 4 ); lower gena with coarse, dense punctures mixed with dense, irregular, longitudinal rugae medially (lower gena with fine, sparsed punctured, without rugae); outer orbital furrow narrow as Fig. 3D View Figure 3 (outer orbital furrow broad); admedian and parapsidal lines inconspicuous (admedian and parapsidal lines distinct); notaulus deeply grooved (notaulus shallowly grooved); metanotum median area with dense, slender, transverse rugae (metanotum without rugae); omaulus broad, 1.2 × pedicel width (omaulus narrow, 0.8 × pedicel width); basal half of petiole with dense, slender, irregular transverse striations dorsally (petiole without striations) and pygidial area u-shaped (pygidial area oval shaped).

Etymology.
The name, Carinostigmus longivertex , is derived from the Latin words longus (= long) and vertex (= vertex), referring to the very long vertex, with the ocello-occipital distance (OCD) being four times as long as postocellar distance (POD), 29: 7. A noun in apposition.
