Figs 3A–E

Diagnosis. Clistopyga porteri can be distinguished from other species in the C. chaconi species group by the combination of the following characters: body primarily orange, black and white ( Fig. 3A ); propodeum and metapleuron black and yellow; mesopleuron and mesosternum orange; wings very weakly infuscate. Clypeal suture strongly curved ( Fig. 3B ); malar space 0.87× 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; occipital carina strongly raised, forming a dorsomedial flange, conspicuously upcurved posteriorly; epicnemial carina very weak, its dorsal end far from anterior margin of mesopleuron, considerably below level of the center of pronotum; metapleuron 2.0× as long as deep ( Fig. 3D ); sternite I extending back about 0.6 of length of tergite. Hind wing with vein cu-a + abscissa of Cu 1 between M and cu-a strongly reclivous ( Fig. 3C ); vein Cu 1 distinctly pigmented; ovipositor slender, matt, weakly and evenly upcurved at distal 0.5.

Remarks. The Brazilian specimens show some morphological variation or additional characters in relation to the original description of C. porteri Bordera & Sääksjärvi 2016 , as follows: face with two longitudinal white spots separated or closer together on the ventral part ( Fig. 3B ). Body length 11.07–12.1 mm; fore wing length 7.12– 7.77 mm ( Fig. 3A ). Antenna with 33–35 flagellomeres, first flagellomere about 5.4× as long as wide. Propodeum in dorsal view 0.86–1.0× as long as medially wide. Tergite I with a spiracle near its basal 0.35–0.4 ( Fig. 3D ). Sternite I extending back 0.55–0.6 of length of tergite, with a weak to highly developed medial carina just below the glymma.

Male. Unknown.
