Digonocryptus sautatus Aguiar et Ramos, 2011

MALE. Quite similar to female, except by fore wing length smaller, 6.55 mm, posterior transverse carina of propodeum fully absent, mesepimeron yellowish, hind t5 brownish, absence of vein stub between fore wing veins M and Rs, and metasoma color darker, orange brown.

Comments. This is the first record of the male for the species. It fits well the key and description provided by Aguiar and Ramos (2011), but most qualitative features described above approximate the species even more of D. denticulatus . Nonetheless, some features are still convincingly disruptive: the fully black lower metapleuron of the present species (vs. large yellow area in D. denticulatus ), and now, for the male, the absence of the posterior transverse carina of propodeum and its uniform sculpturing (vs. carina always distinct, even on the smallest specimens, often with two distinct sculpturing patterns anteriorly and posteriorly to carina).

Material examined. 1 male from BOLIVIA, Beni, Rio Mamoré, approx. 10 Km E San Antonio, 11.VIII.1965, JKBouseman ( AMNH)

Distribution. Colombia, Bolivia NR ( Fig. 85 ).
