Agonocryptus fumosus: Yu et al., 2006 . Catalog.

Variation. Clypeus and mandible mostly reddish brown (vs. black); vertex, supra-antennal area and gena with reddish brown marks (vs. black); mid and hind coxae apically blackish ( Fig. 6G ) (vs. reddish brown); hind femur entirely blackish ( Figs 6F–G ) (vs. reddish brown, apically black); hind t1 basal 0.4–0.7 and hind t3–5 or t4–5 black (vs. basal half of hind t1 and hind t5 black); second recurrent vein meeting areolet at apical 0.4 (vs. 0.3); T1 apically or mostly blackish ( Figs 6E–G ) (vs. reddish brown); T2 basally orange (vs. black); hind trochanters mostly or entirely reddish brown (vs. black); ovipositor tip with 6–8 teeth (vs. 5). Specimens from Santa Teresa (southeastern Brazil) and Distrito Federal (central Brazil) with clypeus pale yellow ( Fig. 6B ) (vs. black) and wide orbital band ( Fig. 6B ) (vs. narrow).

Distribution. Argentina, and Brazil (Distrito Federal NR, Espírito Santo NR, Rio Grande do Sul NR, Santa Catarina) ( Fig. 19A ). Bootstrap analysis suggests that this species occurs typically between 100–500 m, like most Agonocryptus spp. ( Fig. 21F ).
