( Figs. 5 View FIGURE 5 d, 6d, 7d)
Original description. See Krieger (1914).
Re-description in English. See Townes (1969).
Diagnosis. Xanthopimpla peruana can be distinguished from all other Neotropical species by the combination of the following characters: 1) occipital carina complete, rather weak dorsally; 2) propodeum with reduced carination, with only posterior transverse carina present ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 f); 3) triangular crests at the anterior edge of the mesoscutum small ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 c); 4) ventrolateral carina complete across the length of the first tergite ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 i); and 5) body almost entirely lemon yellowish.
Remarks. The Andean species X. peruana is established as an unplaced species outside of the aurita and amazonica species-groups. It may be possible to place it into a new species-group in the future after the tropical Andes become better sampled.
Distribution. Ecuador, Peru.
New material examined. Peru: Female ( UNSM): Dept. of Cusco, Cosñipata, 13°03’ S, 71°32’ W, 1500 m. Castillo leg, Hand net. X.2007. Female ( ZMUT): as above but IX.2007. Male ( ZMUT): as above but IX.2008. Male ( ZMUT): as above but IX.2007.
Notes. The species seems to be the only Neotropical Xanthopimpla restricted to the tropical Andes at about 1200–1500 m above sea level.
