Clystopsenella longiventris Kieffer

(Figs. 1A–D; 2A–D; 4B, D)

Clystopsenella longiventris Kieffer, 1911: 204. Lectotype female, designated by Evans (1963:10), Brazil: Amazonas, Parintins (‘Villa Nova’) (NHM, examined through photographs).

The species was described by Kieffer (1911) based on two specimens (Figs. 1 and 2) which, judging by the features of the locality labels, were collected by Henry W. Bates. These specimens were obtained during his trip through the Amazon Forest, but the precise indication of the type localities was never mentioned by subsequent authors. ‘St. Paul’ refers to the municipality of São Paulo de Olivença, in the Brazilian state of Amazonas, while ‘Villa Nova’ refers to Parintins in the same state (Papavero 1973). The lectotype and paralectotype are the only specimens known from the Brazilian Amazon. Considering that Bates was an avid collector of beetles, including cerambycids (O’Hara 1995), it is possible that he reared the Clystopsenella wasps from parasitized beetle larvae. Additionally, the specimens exhibit a pattern of coloration of their integument with lighter areas. Although Evans (1963) attributed lighter coloration in scolebythids to fading with time in collections, this condition is more likely indicative that the specimens were killed before reaching full sclerotization. The same color pattern is exhibited by the two females from Bahia reared from a cerambycid larva.
