Aguiar, Alexandre P. & Santos, Bernardo F., 2012, Additions to the revision of Digonocryptus Viereck (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Cryptinae), with nine new taxa, new males, and distribution maps for all known species, Zootaxa 3282, pp. 1-41 : 5-6

Digonocryptus caceres Aguiar et Ramos, 2011

Morphological variation. Fore wing lengths 8.95, 10.25, 13.05, and 13.10 mm. Two specimens with orbital band complete, not interrupted at malar space. Two smallest specimens with propodeum bearing a distinct yellowish spot centrally, inbetween posterior transverse carinae. Three largest specimens with posterior transverse carina faint but distinct and nearly complete. Metasoma progressively more dark reddish towards the base, or conversely more yellowish brown towards the apex.

Comments. The new specimens expand considerably the known size range for the species, but otherwise fit quite well the characterization of the species provided by Aguiar and Ramos (2011), showing few morphological variation. The observed length of ovipositor to hind tibia length (1.32–1.37) remained within the known variation for the species (1.29–1.44).

Material examined. 4 females. 1 Ƥ from BRAZIL, São Paulo, Jaboticabal, Cerrado, Pt. T 2, 200 m, 20–26.I.2004, SRViel; 1 Ƥ, same data except Pt. T2, 50 m; 2 Ƥ, same data except 20 m ( UFES). Distribution. Brazil (MT, SP NR), Bolivia, Argentina ( Fig 55 ).
