(2021): Amiseginae and Cleptinae from northeastern Brazil, with the description of four new species (Hymenoptera, Chrysididae). Journal of Hymenoptera Research 81: 57-85, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/jhr.81.60048, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/jhr.81.60048
2EB5E2E137EC52EC9AB972CB22FDE414.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Vertex and anterolateral border of pronotum with rugose-striate marks; anterior declivity of pronotum without medial pit; dorsum of propodeum polished; scapal basin punctate-rugulose, vaguely cross-ridged; metasoma with distinct purple highlights; legs brown, lighter on pro- and mesotibiae, and tarsomeres; malar space 1.5 x MOD. Amisega boyi Lucena, sp. nov. most resembles A. flavipes Kimsey, 1987 and A. similis Kimsey, 1987. This new species can be distinguished from both species based on the following combination of characters: rugose marks on vertex and pronotum (lacking rugose marks on vertex in A. similis, and only striatiform punctures on anterior border of pronotum in A. flavipes); scapal basin punctate-rugulose, vaguely cross-ridged medially (entirely cross-ridged in A. flavipes and A. similis); dorsum of propodeum polished and impunctate (dorsum of propodeum smooth and scarcely punctated in A. flavipes and A. similis); sparse punctation on disc of T 2, with more than 1 PD apart and medial impunctate polished strip clearly defined (disc of T 2 densely punctated in A. similis, and medial impunctate polished strip not defined in A. flavipes); and purple highlights on metasoma (blue highlights in A. similis). The light brown antenna, mandible, and clypeus, and the anterior declivity of pronotum lacking medial pit also help to distinguish this new species from A. flavipes (dark brown antenna, mandible, and clypeus, and with well-marked medial pit on anterior border of pronotum); and the greenish blue body coloration contrasts with the light blue pattern of A. similis.	en	Lucena, Daercio A.

F50D510B7762584E9E58B052D491F22C.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Dorsum of head and mesosoma densely striate, with sparse punctures inserted among striae; propodeum with rugose marks, becoming irregularly striate posteriorly, posterior declivity with some sparse punctures; lateral pronotal pit sulci-form; scapal basin transversely cross-ridged; metasoma brown, without blue nor purple highlights; legs light brown; malar space 1.7 x MOD. This new species can be readily distinguished from other species occurring in northeastern Brazil, Amisega boyi Lucena, sp. nov., Amisega flavipes Kimsey, and A. similis Kimsey, based on densely striate vertex and mesosoma; rugose marks on propodeum; and lack of blue or purple highlights on the metasoma in both genders. Furthermore, A. sertaneja sp. nov. has the lateral pronotal pit shallow and sulci-form (pit well-marked in A. flavipes), and concolorous light brown legs in both sexes (bicolored in A. similis, and dark brown in males of A. flavipes). The extensive transverse striation on dorsum of head and mesosoma also resembles A. striata Kimsey (Costa Rica). However, A. sertaneja sp. nov. is readily distinguished from A. striata by its relatively shorter body (3.1 mm vs. 4 mm), lack of reddish highlights on the legs, brassy tints dorsally on the body, and the entirely dark brown scape (paler ventrally in A. striata).	en	Lucena, Daercio A.

E3BAD0216D1A5562813C3C7B8DB0EF8D.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Body short, stocky build, not compressed laterally; posterior margin of eye lacking carina; upper gena slightly produced; malar space about half eye height; antennae brown, lighter on distal flagellomeres; legs light brown, becoming yellow in tarsomeres; metasoma with dense appressed punctation on marginal borders; dorsum of metasoma with distinct blue highlights. Duckeia dudui sp. nov. closely resembles D. gracile Kimsey, 1987. The new species differs from D. gracile by the following combination of characters: elongated head, 1.3 x higher than broad (0.9 x higher than broad in D. gracile); long malar space, about half of eye height (one third eye height in D. gracile); light brown legs (darker in D. gracile); short, sparse pale setation on dorsum of meso- and metasoma (relatively longer and denser setation on dorsum of meso- and metasoma in D. gracile); marginal borders of T 1 - T 2 with contiguous punctures (punctation on marginal borders of T 1 - T 2 more than 0.5 - 1.0 PD in D. gracile); dorsum of metasoma with distinct bluish highlights marginally on terga (only T 2 with faint bluish tint in D. gracile). Furthermore, D. dudui sp. nov. has a stocky built and relatively short body, contrasting with the laterally compressed and relatively elongated body of D. gracile.	en	Lucena, Daercio A.
