IOS/EH: IOS distinctly less than EH. Sculpture of ventrolateral frons: transversely rugulose to granulate. Sculpture of frons below median ocellus: granulate. Sculpture of posterior vertex: granulate. Hyperoccipital carina: absent. Occipital carina medially: interrupted. Length of OOL: less than 0.5× ocellar diameter. Sculpture of postgena behind outer orbit: largely smooth with small granulate area. Ocular setae: absent. A4 in female: distinctly shorter than A3. A5 in female: shorter than A3, as long as wide. Shape of female A6: subquadrate. Form of male antennal flagellomeres: filiform, approximately 2.0× longer than wide. Length of A5 tyloid in male: greater than 0.5× length of A5.
Color of mesosoma in female: orange throughout; variably orange to pale brown. Color of mesosoma in male: orange throughout; variably orange to pale brown. Sculpture of dorsal pronotal area: rugose. Sculpture of lateral pronotal area: smooth throughout; smooth anteriorly, granulate posteriorly. Sculpture of netrion: rugose. Notaulus: abbreviated, at most reaching middle of mesoscutum. Sculpture of mesoscutum: granulate. Shape of mesoscutellum: semiellipsoidal. Foveolae of scutoscutellar sulcus between notauli: smaller than those along margin of axilla. Sculpture of mesoscutellum: granulate. Shape of metascutellum: posterior margin rounded, 2.5× wider than long. Sculpture of metascutellum in female: rugose. Sculpture of metascutellum in male: rugose. Dorsal propodeum in female: shallowly excavate medially, with lateral propodeal carinae widely separated. Sculpture of dorsal propodeum in female: rugose. Sculpture of dorsal propodeum in male: rugose with one or two longitudinal keels lateral to median keel. Median keels on propodeum in female: absent. Mesopleural carina: absent. Sculpture of mesepisternum below mesopleural depression: smooth. Sculpture of ventral metapleural area: largely smooth, rugose ventrally. Color of legs: orange throughout; mid and hind coxae dark brown to black, otherwise yellow throughout. Sculpture of hind coxa: smooth.
Color of fore wing: hyaline. Rs+M: spectral. Setae on R: long, erect, surpassing the margin of the wing. Length of R: distinctly shorter than r-rs. Length of R1: greater than 3.0× length of r-rs.
Color of metasoma in female: orange throughout; variably orange to pale brown. Color of metasoma in male: orange throughout; variably orange to pale brown. Horn on T1 in female: weakly indicated. Sculpture of T1 horn dorsally: with V-shaped striae. Sculpture of posterior margin of T1 in female: longitudinally striate throughout. Sculpture of T1 in male: longitudinally striate. Development of longitudinal striae on T2 in female: reaching posterior margin of T2. Sculpture of T3: smooth; largely smooth with submedian longitudinal striae. Shape of T6 in female: short, slightly longer than wide. Sculpture of S3: largely smooth with sparse and fine punctures.
Diagnosis
This species is most similar to Calliscelio brachys in color, size and the abbreviated notaulus but can be distinguished by the granulate upper frons and that A4 is shorter than A3.
Etymology
The epithet refers to the short notauli in this species and is intended to be used as a noun in apposition.
