Móczár, L.: World revision of the Cleptes satoi group (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae, Cleptinae)
with a few minute punctures, then with extensively broader ridges, punctures elongate. Lateral side of metanotum and lateral side of propodeum striate (EADY 1969) longitudinally above, below propodeal spine and strigose, partly strigate vertically below propodeum. T-I impunctured, T-II with fine, very dense punctures on anterior two-thirds, T-III with rather double punctures, T-IV as T-III, but with distinctly sparse punctures. The unusually short descriptions of Cleptes semiaurata var. nigriventris BUYSSON $ var. nov. (1898) and of Cleptes nigriventris BUYSSON sensu TRAUTMANN ( 1 928) are not satisfactory for identification of these taxa. There are some small colour differences between the briefly described TRAUTMANN's males and the males determined by DAY. Comparing the new females description, published by TRAUTMANN, the original type material and the female determined by DAY, there is no essential difference. The proportions of nigritus $ (see above) and nigriventris $ are nearly the same: MS 1.2 MOD long. Ped 2.1 times, F-I 2.0 x, F-II 1.1 x and F-III 0.9 times as long as wide. The locality are the same in TRAUTMANN's description and on the 2 females. Consequently, I designate the lectotype and the paralectotype of C. nigriventris BUYSSON $cT in sensu TRAUTMANN. The difference between nigritus and nigriventris seems to be small, therefore, C. nigriventris BUYSSON sensu TRAUTMANN, 1928 is a synonym of C. nigritus MERCET, 1904.

Scape apically and Ped reddish brown. Pronotum flame red, collar reddish green medially, anterior row of pits golden green, mesonotum, scutellum and postscutellum golden red with coppery tint, transversal prolongation of scutellum less reddish gold, postscutellum more greenish gold laterally. Propodeal disc with 1 smaller greenish blue spot posteriorly in the middle and with 2 larger ones at lateral corners. Propleuron black in front and reddish on its half edge posteriorly. Mesopleuron golden just below tegulae and golden red below. Metapleuron reddish only basally. Lateral side of propodeum entirely black.Wings weakly stained on posterior half. Discoidal cell hardly perceptible. Fore tibiae largely, middle and hind ones below light brown. T-I-II and anterior half of T-III yellowish brown, exceptionally in the satoi group. Posterior margins of T-I-II and spots of T-III brownish, rest black. Vertex convex behind ocelli, in lateral view. Lower face with shallow and sparse punctures, elsewhere more densely and more deeply, among ocelli closely punctured. MS 1.4 MOD long. Ped and F-I 2.0 times as long as wide, F.II 1.0 x and F-III 0.9 times as long as wide.
