Aguiar, Alexandre P. & Santos, Bernardo F., 2012, Additions to the revision of Digonocryptus Viereck (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Cryptinae), with nine new taxa, new males, and distribution maps for all known species, Zootaxa 3282, pp. 1-41 : 28

Digonocryptus varipes ( Brullé, 1846)

( Figs 39 , 95 )

Morphological variation. The female and one male have orbital band very narrow at 1h, but not interrupted between 12–3h as previously reported as typical for the species by Aguiar and Ramos (2011). Two of the three males do show an equivalent interruption, but also less extensive than previously reported. Males with mesopleuron light orange brown (makes it difficult to note yellowish color of subalar prominence) and propodeum and metapleuron nearly fully orange. Axillar carina with large yellow spot on both female and male, not reported by Aguiar and Ramos (2011).

Comments. The specimens fit reasonably well in the key and description provided by Aguiar and Ramos (2011). The lightly colored mesopleuron and the nearly monocolorous propodeum of the observed males is somewhat atypical ( Fig. 39 ).
