Clistopyga atrata
Clistopyga atrata is a species of ichneumon wasp in the family Ichneumonidae, described by Cushman in 1921. The genus Clistopyga belongs to a diverse group of parasitoid wasps whose biology remains poorly documented. Like other ichneumonids, this species likely functions as a parasitoid of other insects, though specific host records are not well established. The species is distinguished by its dark coloration, as suggested by the specific epithet 'atrata' meaning black.
