Diagnosis. Ceraeochrysa claveri is often more yellow-green in coloration than others species of the genus. It is one of two members of the “ cincta group” with black flagellum. It has only a dorsal dark-red line on the scape, distinguishing from C. montoyana , which has two lines, a lateral and a dorsal one. Other members of the “ cincta group” may exhibit a dorsal line on the scape, but those may be distinguished from C. claveri by their pale flagellum.

Description. Head. Frons and gena yellow-green, unmarked; maxillary and labial palpi yellow; vertex goldenyellow; pedicel and scape green with a dorsal red-wine mid-line continuing onto the antennal fossae, flagellum black ( Fig. 17 View FIGURES 17 – 18 ). Thorax. Generally yellow-green. Pronotum yellow-green with red-wine stripe laterally ( Figs. 17– 18 View FIGURES 17 – 18 ); meso- and metanota often yellow-green unmarked; pleura and legs, green pale. Forewing: longitudinal vein green-pale; crossveins: costal crossvein 3–10; Rs + Ma, radial crossvein 1–9 and gradates black; 2–4 inner and 6–8 outer gradates. Hindwing: longitudinal and crossveins pale green, except for the costal and radial crossveins brown ( Fig. 19 View FIGURES 19 – 29 ). Abdomen. Green unmarked. Male characters. Apodeme of tergite 9 + ectoproct with a ventral branch in C-shape which is apically acute ( Fig. 20 View FIGURES 19 – 29 ); above apex of 9th sternite with several lines of minute gonocristae. Gonarcus not arched, with a median ventral process digitiform ( Figs. 21 View FIGURES 19 – 29 , 46 View FIGURES 43 – 54 ); gonocornua vestigial, broadly based, short and acute ( Figs. 21–25 View FIGURES 19 – 29 ); lateral arm longer than wide; entoprocessus long, caudally pointed; arcessus triangular in dorsal view, without median plate and spiniform process, apex not trifurcate with apical hook flanked by vestigial lobes ( Figs. 21–22 View FIGURES 19 – 29 , 48 View FIGURES 43 – 54 ); gonosaccus with a fields of sparse gonosetae ( Figs 25–46 View FIGURES 19 – 29 View FIGURES 30 – 31 View FIGURES 32 – 42 View FIGURES 43 – 54 ). Gonapsis long, slender and posteriorly bifurcated ( Fig. 26 View FIGURES 19 – 29 ). Female characters. Area between subgenitale and 7th sternite heavy sclerotized; bursa copulatrix with a pair of large glands; subgenitale rounded with two dorsal lateral wide lobes ( Fig. 27 View FIGURES 19 – 29 ); spermatheca in U-shape; ventral impression elongate; spermathecal duct with several coils ( Figs. 28–29 View FIGURES 19 – 29 ). Male mean measurements (mm), n = 10. Head: width 1.8 (range 1.6–2.0); pronotum: length 0.8 (range 0.8–0.9), width 1.2 (range 1.2–1.3). Forewing: length 14.8 (range 14.0–16.3), width 4.6 (range 4.3–5.2), ratio = 3.2 (range 3.1– 3.3). 2–3 inner and 6–7 outer gradates. Hindwing: length 13.1 (range 12.4–14.3), width 3.8 (range 3.6–4.3), ratio = 3.4 (range 3.3–3.5). 2–3 inner and 6–7 outer gradates. Female mean measurements (mm), n = 10. Head: width 1.8 (range 1.8–1.9); Pronotum: length 1.0 (range 0.9–1.0), width 1.2 (range 1.1–1.3), forewing: length 15.7 (range 14.5–16.6), width 4.9 (range 4.7–5.1), ratio = 3.2 (range 3.1–3.3). 3–4 inner gradates and 7–8 outer gradates. Hindwing: length 13.9 (range 13.5–14.2), width 4.1 (range 4.0–4.2), ratio = 3.4 (range 3.3–3.6). 2 inner and 6–7 outer gradates.

Remarks. Freitas & Penny (2001) and Freitas et al. (2009) made no reference to the presence of gonocornua and neither illustrated them. Adams & Penny (1985) described and illustrated the gonocornua in detail for specimens of the Amazon basin. These structures were observed in all specimens herein studied.

Adams & Penny (1985) and Penny (2002) referred to the presence of two lines in the C. claveri scape, but this characteristic was not observed in any specimens of the Venezuelan and Brazilian populations studied herein (see comparison with C. montoyana below).
