Afroagraecia panteli (Karny, 1907) n. comb.

Anelytra panteli Karny, 1907

Specimens studied: Holotype, male, coll. Brunner von Wattenwyl, Ukami Berge DO Afrika, depository: NMW Vienna.

Paratype: 1 male, same data as holotype.

The study of the type of Anelytra panteli Karny showed that this species belongs to Afroagraecia . A. panteli is morphologically very similar to A. bloyeti . The tenth abdominal tergite is divided into two broad lobes and the male cerci are trispinose in both species. A. bloyeti was collected around Kondoa in central Tanzania while A. panteli was recorded from the Ukami Mountains further south-east, near Iringa. Differences are seen in the length and shape of the tegmina, those of A. bloyeti being more lobe-like and reduced than those of A. panteli . In A. bloyeti the posterior spine of the male cerci is more elongated while in A. panteli it is shorter and thus more similar to the two further anterior positioned tips. The basal inner process of the male cerci is not as elongated in A. panteli as in A. bloyeti .
