Treatment

Aphanogmus sigras Dessart, 1981 View in CoL

Johnson & Musetti 2004: 22.

Remarks

Male known but male genitalia unknown. The description by Dessart (1981: 12‒14) shows a remarkably supraclypeal depression similar to that of Gnathoceraphron Dessart & Bin, 1980 but with normal sized mandibles in the female (not present in the male allotype). In addition, this species has – like some of the species described as new in the present study – relatively light leg joints and tarsi, the mesometapleuron lacking a sulcus and longitudinal striations.

Biology

Unknown.

Distribution

Afrotropical: Somalia.

Type depository

The female holotype, 11 female paratypes and one male allotype are deposited in the RBINS.
