Named from a combination of the “austro” (Latin for south) and “africanus” (for Africa), because this new species was collected in South Africa.</p><p>Comparative diagnosis. The new species differs from the type species of the genus, Afrocampsis griseosetosus by the following features: the scapus of female distinctly, 1.5–2.0 × longer than pedicel (as long as pedicel in A. griseosetosus), medial frontal lamella not bifurcate dorsally, only thickened (bifurcate dorsally in A. griseosetosus), medial flagellomeres of antenna weakly transverse and subsquare in its apical third (all flagellomeres in posterior half of antenna elongate in A. griseosetosus), mesopleuron mostly reticulate-punctate (widely smooth in A. griseosetosus), hind femur wide, 2.6–2.7 × longer than maximum width (narrow, (2.8) 3.0–3.4 × in A. griseosetosus), hind tibia 5.7–6.2 × longer than its maximum width (4.6 × in A. griseosetosus), claw of hind leg with distinct obtuse basal lobe (without distinct lobe in A. griseosetosus), ovipositor long, its sheath almost as long as second metasomal tergite (short, about half as long as second tergite in A. griseosetosus), and hind leg mostly black (mostly pale yellow with infuscation in A. griseosetosus).</p><p>Remarks. In the description of A. griseosetosus, van Achterberg &amp; Quicke (1990) noted that they had examined (besides the type material from Republic of Cameroon) an additional five specimens (two females and three males) from South Africa (Katberg and Port St. John localities), which differed from the types in the colouration of antenna and hind legs, shapes of the third tergite and size of hind femur. Provisionally they considered these specimens to conspecific to the type material from Cameroon having only clinal variation.</p><p>I have also studied the single female collected in the same locality as the new species (Kwazulu-Natal), which belong to A. griseosetosus and having the hind femur mostly yellowish brown, and hind tibia and tarsus reddish brown to dark reddish brown partly. I also examined seven males collected at the same time and from the same province, but their morphological features do not allow their allocation to a particular species as they have intermediate sexual states.</p><p>However, the three females collected in Kwazulu-Natal have a number of distinct differences (see Comparative diagnosis, above) and belong to the new species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03B287ADFFBB7847D1F6F9BC90F61B27	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Named from a combination of the “pubes” (Latin for pubescence) and “scutellum” because the scutellum in new species covered by dense and long white setae.</p><p>Comparative diagnosis. The new species differs from the type species of the genus, M. petiolaris, in having the median carina of frons rather high (low in M. petiolaris), occipital carina coarse dorsally (weak dorsally in M. petiolaris), clypeus entirely densely reticulate-rugose (large smooth in M. petiolaris), notauli relatively shallow posteriorly (entirely deep in M. petiolaris), scutellum and propodeum with dense and long white erect setae almost entirely (without or with less long setae in M. petiolaris), third radial abscissa (SR1) in fore wing weakly broken (straight in M. petiolaris), second radial abscissa (3-SR) distinctly curved (weakly curved in M. petiolaris), nervulus (cu-a) postfurcal (interstitial in M. petiolaris), hind femur 4.4 × longer than its maximum width (5.9 × in M. petiolaris), first tergite narrowed subapically and without latero-posterior depressions (not narrowed subapically and with latero-posterior depressions in M. petiolaris), length of first tergite 1.8 × its apical width (2.7 × in M. petiolaris), and fore femur brown (yellowish brown in M. petiolaris).</p><p>Remarks. The male included in M. petiolaris (Quicke et al. 2008), according to the photo (Quicke et al. 2008, p. 2710) perhaps actually belongs to the described here the new species M. pubiscutellum sp. nov.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03B287ADFFBC784BD1F6FF0A96AF1B4B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
