Digonocryptus cennitus Aguiar et Ramos , sp. nov.

Figs 25, 26, 107, 116, 174, 184, 224

Description. Holotype FEMALE. Fore wing 15.0 mm.

Head. Ventral tooth of mandible approximately as long as dorsal tooth, slightly more massive in size. Clypeus apical area delimited by smooth border; clypeal margin with two weak teeth ( Fig. 116). Antenna with 17+ flagellomeres (apex missing); white band starting at flagellomere VI; 4 flagellomeres at least 50% white.

Mesosoma . Mesopleuron with scarce, short, white hairs, 95–99% of cuticular surface visible. Subalar prominence narrow and elongate. Sulcus between sternaulus and scrobe absent. Posterior transverse carina of mesosternum absent. Lower metapleuron striate-rugulose ( Fig. 174). Propodeum: area in front of anterior transverse carina weakly rugulose, matt, medially with two weak, incomplete ridges extending from carina towards anterior margin. Propodeal apophyses conspicuous, somewhat compressed (oblong in cross-section). Posterior transverse carina weakly developed between apophyses, bell-shaped. Area between transverse carinae obliquely striate-rugose; area behind posterior transverse carina striate-rugose. Fore wing in Fig. 184; vein 3-Cu 1.52 length of 4-Cu. Hind wing in Fig. 224.

Metasoma. Postpetiole dorso-anteriorly weakly but distinctly concave, forming shallow depression (Fig. 107); dorsolateral and median dorsal carinae absent; petiolar spiracles in dorsal view prominent, protruding from T1. Ovipositor 1.10 length of hind tibia. Apex of lower valve with 16 teeth.

Color. Black, except as follows. Lateral pattern as in Fig. 25. Orbital band restricted to narrow stripe extending from 10–11 h, and a small, very narrow mark between 1–2 h. Scutellum with lateral yellow spot on each side, spots widely isolated. Propodeum as in Figs 25–26. Fore tibia at both ends, dorsally and ventro-mesally, brown; laterally and mesally pale yellow. Fore t1 laterally mostly pale yellow; t1 otherwise and entire t2–5 brown. Mid t1 between basal 0.2–0.3 and apical 0.1 pale yellow; t1 otherwise and entire t2–5 brown. Hind t1 on basal 0.3 brown; t1 otherwise and entire t2–4 pale yellow, almost white, t5 brown. Metasoma dorsally black.

MALE. Unknown.

Comments. This is the only species with body almost entirely black, with only small white areas. Very similar to D. sipius from which it can be separated by having propodeal apophyses conspicuous (vs. developed as wide, scale-like structures); posterior transverse carina developed between apophyses (vs. incomplete); T1–3 entirely black (vs. laterally with white marks); fore femur entirely black (vs. with whitish mark).

Material examined. HOLOTYPE ♀ “Riv.Ceosnipata// Sta. Isabel Cusco // Peru F.Woytkowski // Bain For XII.20.51”; “ Digonocryptus // sp 1” ( AEIC). Left wings slide mounted; right antenna tip and left antenna apical half, mid right t3–5 and left t4–5, missing.

Distribution. Peru.
