Key to females of the genus Andesipolis View in CoL View at ENA

(Note: the species appear to be somewhat sexually dimorphic in metasomal and propodeal sculpturing and shape, as well as minor aspects of wing venation, and are difficult to associate unless series are obtained from the same time and place. Thus we have not attempted to place the males, but illustrations of one species (quite possibly males of A. masoni based on collection data) are shown in Figs. 10–13. View FIGURES 10 – 13. A

1. Ovipositor straight ( Fig. 9 View FIGURES 4 – 9. A , 22 View FIGURES 20 – 25. A ); propodeal areola present ( Fig. 7 View FIGURES 4 – 9. A , 21 View FIGURES 20 – 25. A ); hind tarsal claw simple ( Fig. 8 View FIGURES 4 – 9. A ) ............................................................................................................... 2

Ovipositor curved upward ( Fig. 14 View FIGURES 14 – 19. A ); propodeal areola absent ( Fig. 15 View FIGURES 14 – 19. A ); hind tarsal claw with prominent basal lobe ( Fig.19 View FIGURES 14 – 19. A ) .............................................. A. whartoni View in CoL n. sp

2. Forewing maculate ( Fig. 3 View FIGURES 1 – 3. 1 ); stigma broadly rounded, 2.4X longer than broad ( Fig. 3 View FIGURES 1 – 3. 1 ); ovipositor 1.0 1.2X as long as hind tibia ( Fig. 22 View FIGURES 20 – 25. A ) ............................. A. framea View in CoL n. sp.

Forewing hyaline ( Fig. 1 View FIGURES 1 – 3. 1 ); stigma elongate, 4.2X longer than broad ( Fig. 1 View FIGURES 1 – 3. 1 ); ovipositor 0.8 0.9X as long as hind tibia ( Fig. 9 View FIGURES 4 – 9. A ) ................................................. A. masoni View in CoL n. sp.
