- Xanthopimpla amazonica Gómez, Sääksjärvi & Veijalainen 2009 (Figs. 2 a, 3 a, 4 a) Original description. See Gómez et al. (2009). Diagnosis. This species can be distinguished from all other Neotropical Xanthopimpla by the combination of the following characters: 1) occipital carina complete and expanded into a high thin flange; 2) propodeum with petiolar area divided by a longitudinal carina that starts in the center of the posterior transverse carina; 3) posterior transverse carina bowed in the center; and 4) ovipositor sheath about 0.8–1.1 times the length of the hind tibia. Distribution. Brazil, French Guiana, Peru. New material examined. Brazil: Male. (INPA) Dept. of Maranhão, Açailândia. 0505’ 27 ”S, 4705 ’ 58 ”W, XII. 2006. Rafael, Oliveira & Vidal leg. Malaise trap. French Guiana: Female (ZMUT) Patawa. Seag leg. II. 2003. Notes. The species is here recorded for the first time outside Peru (see Gómez et al. 2009). The Brazilian male is similar to the Peruvian female specimen. The French Guianan female is similar to the Peruvian female but has tergites 5 + dark brownish and a longer ovipositor (about 1.1 times as long as hind tibia whereas in the Peruvian female the same index is about 0.8). Xanthopimpla amazonica seems to be rare but widely distributed in tropical northern South America.
