Digonocryptus cennitus Aguiar et Ramos, 2011

Morphological variation. Very little. Fore wing length 14.0 and 14.2 mm. Differing from the holotype by the absence of yellow marks on scutellum (both specimens), yellowish dot at apex of propodeal apophyses not immediately distinct (specimen from Bolivia), and T3 with wider yellow stripe apically on each side of the apical margin (specimen from Bolivia) or only T7 with distinct yellow mark at apex (specimen from Peru).

Comments. This species was previously known only from the holotype. The morphology of the two new specimens agrees largely with the original description, including the presence of a tiny whitish or yellowish dot at the apex of each propodeal aphophysis, which seems therefore to be of useful diagnostic value for the species.

Material examined. 2 females. 1 Ƥ from ECUADOR, Pichincha, Baeza, 1750 m, XI, MCooper, Cooper coll., BMNH (E) 2005-152 ( BMNH). 1 Ƥ from BOLIVIA, La Paz, Chulumani, Apa-Apa, 1–4.V.1997, yellow pan traps, LMasner ( CNCI).

Distribution. Peru, Bolivia NR ( Fig. 58 ).
