Móczár, L.: World revision of the Cleptes satoi group (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae, Cleptinae)

Lateral edges of clypeus somewhat converging, apical margin hardly arcuate, lateral corners nearly obtuse angled. Ocellar triangle nearly acute. Pits of hind ocelli deep, and larger than ocelli. Hind ocellus 1.01 times as far from eye margin as from each other. Frontal sulcus sharp and intcrupted. Head gradually converging behind eyes (Fig. 30),viewed from above. Collar medially transversally striate. Some fine longitudinal ridges beginning just below striae, with elongate punctures between the ridges, becoming gradually normal, round punctures without ridges at about the summit of pronotum. Pronotum strongly curved at its posterior third, with short, distinct sulcus in declivous part medially, before the short keel. Mesonotum rather densely punctured. Postscutellum closely punctured basally, with a narrow split between scutellum and postscutellum, posterior margin with two flat, elongate transversally excavations medially. Lateral angles of propodeum rectangular. Propodeal (Fig 30) disc with some nearly parallel ridges, mostly with irregular wrinkles, the black, and oblique furrows shining laterally. Mesopleuron partly smooth with some punctures just below tegulae, vertical face (Fig. 29) finely strigose with some punctures round and elongate. T-I impunctured, T-II with fine, dense punctures except laterally and posterioly. T-III and partly T-IV with finer but distinct double punctures. <$ - Unknown. Remarks - This subspecies is related to nigritus nigritus both in sculpture and in colour, but differs mainly by its differently sculptured collar and pronotum, not only punctured; by the vertex having a sulcus between hind ocelli; abdomen not largely brown etc.; and by the characters given in the key; similar to females of this group, resembling seidenstueckeri by its abdomen basally extended light colour; but differs especially by shape of its pronotum, which is not evenly curved, etc. Cleptes pronigritus LlNSENMAIER Cleptes pronigritus LlNSENMAIER, 1968: 6, 1 Type and Paratypen.

Additions to the description - MS 1.3 MOD long, Ped 1.8 times as long as wide, F-I 2.3 x, F-II 2.0 x, F-III 0.8 times as long as wide. "Pronotum mit deutlicher Längsfurche auf der Mitte" aecordig to author. The depression is very shallow, present only on some paratypes, not at all similar to those of the species in subgenus Holcocleples. Frontal sulcus broadly interrupted medially, not "Cavitas mit deutlicher, doch nicht scharfer MittcbFurche". The body colour in paratype (collected in 7. VI. 1965) is greenish gold and head with red tint, T-I largely reddish brown. The colour of antenna
