Group of africanus View in CoL View at ENA   HNS . Similar to ghilianii   HNS group, but distinguished by having the middle of the vertex striate to or nearly to the nuchal carina. Petiolar node axially compressed, but summit usually blunt in side view, often concave in front view. The subgroup of africanus   HNS proper has vertex finely striate and gaster smooth: africanus   HNS , natalensis   HNS , obscuratus   HNS and madagascarensis   HNS ; bequaerti   HNS also has fine striation on vertex, but gaster is reticulate or punctulate; the pellucidus   HNS subgroup ( pellucidus   HNS and fuliginosus   HNS ) features a coarsely striate vertex and more or less distinct reticulation or rugulosity of part of first (or first and second) gastric terga. These are tropical African species, ranging south in some cases to Natal; madagascarensis   HNS is in the Malagasy Republic.
