Type material.
Holotype: ♀, China: Yunnan: Jinghong: Menghai: Bulang Mountain, 21°56'N, 100°26'E, 20.VI.2018-20.VII.2018, No. 2019000381, coll. Malaise trap (YNAU); Paratypes: 3♀, same locality as holotype, No. 2019000378, 17.V.2018-20.VI.2018, No. 2019000151, 25.IV.2018-17.V.2018, No. 20190329.
Diagnosis.
Differs from Chinese species of Carinostigmus by the following features: flagellomeres I-II fulvous; legs largely black; labrum distinctly constricted subapically; free margin of clypeus slightly turnup apically; inter-antennal tubercle longer than midocellus diameter, slightly broadened at apex; lower gena rugose; pronotal collar with transverse striations medially; metanotum with striations medially; petiole dorsal carinate basally and medially; pygidial area elongate. The new species resembles C. costatus Krombein 1984, but can be distinguished it by the following characters (characters of C. costatus in brackets): labrum distinctly triangular, broader than C. costatus (labrum pentagonal, narrower than new species); clypeus moderately convex (clypeus slightly convex); median and lower frons with transverse, irregular rugae medially and laterally (median and lower frons without rugae); inter-antennal tubercle longer than midocellus diameter, without T-shape projection (inter-antennal tubercle shorter than midocellus diameter, with T-shape projection); upper frons longitudinal carina without groove before anterior ocellus (upper frons with a weak groove before anterior ocellus); vertex behind ocelli impunctate (vertex behind ocelli punctate); lower gena with dense rugae near midventral line (lower gena without rugae near midventral line); pronotal collar lateral angles projected (pronotal collar lateral angles blunt); notaulus shallowly grooved, extending to one third of scutum length (notaulus deeply grooved, extending to half of scutum length); parapsidal line distinct (parapsidal line weakly impressed); metanotum with transverse striations medially (metanotum without striations medially); propodeal enclosure without triangular impression (propodeal enclosure with triangular impression); propodeum laterally with densely rugose (propodeum laterally sparsely rugose); petiole sub quadrate dorsally (petiole cylindrical) and pygidial area very elongate (pygidial area not elongate as new species).

Etymology.
The name, Carinostigmus triangularis , is derived from the Latin word triangulus (= triangle), referring to the triangular shape of the labrum.
