( Figs 1 , 2 ) Material examined. Type material. Holotype : female (both antennae are broken, with 13 flagellomeres remaining attached to the head and 19 glued to a triangle), Burundi , Kibira National Park , 2.93315° S , 29.50583° E , 2177 m , miXed forest, Malaise trap , bamboo near small meadow, 29.i–12.ii.2010 , leg. R. Copeland , (deposited in: MRAC ) . Paratype: male, idem, (deposited in: MRAC). Additional material. Female (metasoma lost), South Sudan , Didinga District , Nagiehot , 2042 m [ 6,700 ft ], Xii.1925 i.1926 , Dr G.D.H. Carpenter, B.M. 1926-101 (deposited in: BMNH ) . Description. Holotype . Female ( Fig. 1 ). Body length approXimately 9.0 mm, fore wing 7.0 mm. Head ( Fig. 1b, c, d ) generally smooth and shiny, minutely punctate and sparsely pubescent; eyes bare; face with sparse and almost non-eXistent punctation on smooth surface, with sparse, relatively long pubescence; clypeus with sparse, long pubescence; malar space granulate; frons and verteX smooth and shiny, almost impunctate. Mesosoma ( Fig. 1c, d ). Propleuron smooth and shiny, more densely pubescent than face; pronotum smooth and shiny, impunctate, minutely pubescent only in upper hind corner; mesoscutum, scutellum and metapleuron smooth and shiny, impunctate and without pubescence; mesopleuron with the same sculpture and pubescence as mesoscutum, minutely pubescent only ventrally; propodeum minutely pubescent on granulate surface. Metasoma ( Fig. 1f ) generally granulate and sparsely punctate, with pubescence sparser on tergites 1–3, denser on remaining tergites. Сolour . Body generally yellowish-cream with brown, eXcept mandible centrally, frons along ocelli, occiput along occipital carina, pronotum centrally, mesoscutum proXimally and laterally, propodeum centrally, middle and hind trochanter basally, pterostigma and ovipositor sheaths, and metasomal tergites 2–3 apicolaterally black. Hind tibia subbasally and apically banded. FIGURE 1. Afroanomalia pseudoclistopyga sp. n. , holotype female: a) lateral vieW of habituS; b) frontal vieW of head; c) lateral vieW of head and meSoSoma; d) dorSal vieW of head and meSoSoma (red arroW pointS Strongly SWollen pronotum); e) lateral vieW of the ovipoSitor apex; f) dorSal vieW of metaSomal tergiteS 2–4. Male ( Fig. 2 ) generally resembles female, but has smaller body (length approXimately 7.0 mm, fore wing 5.0 mm), and some differences in colouration: metasoma with first tergite black, and tergites 2–4 black apicolaterally; hind tibia with indistinct bands. Distribution. Currently known from Kibira National Park ( Burundi ) and Didinga Mountains ( South Sudan ). Etymology. This species is named after its similarity with species from the genus Сlistopyga .
