Key to European species of Clistopyga

1. Metapleuron punctate ( FIgs 1, 1 , 3 ). Male face yellow or at least with yellow spots ( FIgs 2 , 1 , 2 ). ............ 2

— Metapleuron smooth or granulate ( FIgs 1 , 5, 7). Male face black ( FIgs 2 , 3 , 4 ). ........................................... 3

2. Ovipositor more-or-less uniformly up-curved, the length is about 1.5 × length of hind tibia ( FIg. 1 , 4 ). Metapleuron uniformly punctate ( FIg. 1 , 3 ). Hind coxa and femur without yellow marks. Male face with yellow spots ( FIg. 2 , 1 ). ......................................................................................................................... C. rufator

— Ovipositor strongly apically up-curved, the length is about 1.8–1.9 × length of hind tibia ( FIg. 1 , 2 ). Metapleuron more densely punctate distally, often impunctate proximally ( FIg. 1, 1 ). Hind coxa and femur at least partly yellow. Male face entirely yellow ( FIg. 2, 2 ). ................................................ C. incitator

3. Metapleuron smooth, impunctate ( FIg. 1 , 5). Hind femur entirely red. Ovipositor weakly apically upcurved, the length is about 1.4–1.5 × length of hind tibia ( FIg. 1 , 6). ...................................... C. canadensis

— Metapleuron granulate ( FIg. 1 , 7). Hind femur red, apically fuscous. Ovipositor strongly uniformly upcurved, the length is about 1.2 × length of hind tibia ( FIg. 1 , 8). ................................................... C. sziladyi
