0CBDA4C6EDC941BD3C879B691F83A832.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Pampsilota africanus resembles Pampsilota zebra in having pincer-shaped valvulae 3 (compact or diverging in all other species), metatibia distally nearly circular in cross section, and in the main colour characters (thorax black except for pronotum and sometimes tegulae, legs partly pale, and abdomen at least ventrally partly pale). Pampsilota africanus has a yellow costa and anterior of subcosta, whereas in Pampsilota zebra costa and subcosta are black. The tegulae of Pampsilota africanus are sometimes bicoloured, but in Pampsilota zebra always black. The hind tibia of Pampsilota africanus is nearly unicolorous pale, and in Pampsilota zebra broadly ringed apically with blackish. The serrulae of these species are very differently shaped (Figs 12, 34), but their penis valves are quite similar (Figs 13, 35).	en	Liston, Andrew D., Goergen, Georg, Koch, Frank (2017): Revisions of the Afrotropical genera of Argidae and species of Pampsilota Konow, 1899 (Hymenoptera, Tenthredinoidea).

46004BEC6EB1AC72443FB6268EF4C4FA.taxon	description	Larva. Figures 51 - 55. Individuals of two instars were examined in detail: GBIF GISHym 21229, total length 13 mm, head capsule width 1.4 mm; GBIF GISHym 21236, total length 6 mm, head capsule width 0.9 mm. Mature larvae reach a length of about 25 mm. All examined instars extremely similar in coloration except that the abdominal prolegs are pale in later instars (Fig. 51), and blackish in younger larvae (Fig. 52). The trunk is mainly green (Fig. 53). They possess the ground-plan characters of Argidae as given by Lorenz and Kraus (1957): one antennomere, abdominal segments 2 - 9 with 3 dorsal annulets, and tarsus of thoracic legs (Fig. 54) with large empodium. Head with frons mainly dark, and extensive partly confluent black patches on parietal region and vertex (Figs 51, 55). Mandible with 2 setae. Maxillary palp with 6 setae on outer surface. Clypeus with 2 setae. Anterior edge of labrum with fringe of about 12 setae directed in same plane as labrum; two longer setae arise near the centre and are directed outwards. Frons with about 35 short setae, mostly shorter than diameter of antennomere. Rest of upper head moderately setose; setae mostly shorter than diameter of antennomere. All setae fine and pale. Labrum without central groove. Thoracic legs with six articles (Fig. 54). Claw with strongly developed basal lobe. Coxa and trochanter black; distal articles brown. Cervical sclerite black. Thoracic subspiracular and surpedal lobes strongly projecting; black, including setae. Spiracular area of prothorax with three black markings. Entire surface of trunk with numerous very short, fine, pale setae. On dark-pigmented areas of thorax and abdominal segments 1, 2 and 10, setae are darker and longer. All three dorsal annulets of meso- and metathorax and abdominal segments 1 - 2 with row of small, dark-pigmented glandubae (Fig. 52). Prothorax with fewer small glandubae, but paired medial black markings larger than on other segments (Fig. 52). Pigmentation of glandubae on abdominal segment 2 paler than on more anterior parts of dorsum. Pigmentation, size of glandubae on the abdominal dorsum and length of their setae diminish progressively towards the posterior (Fig. 52). Subspiracular lobe on abdominal segments 1 - 3 (4) more or less marked with black, extent of black decreasing from segment to segment towards posterior. Abdomen strongly tapering caudally, ventral surface appearing flat in live specimens. Prolegs very small; developed on abdominal segments 2 - 6 and 10 (Figs 51, 52), with numerous setae on exterior and interior surfaces; on segments 7 - 9 a minute scar-like vestige probably homologous with a proleg. Suranal lobe, dorsal and ventral surfaces of subanal lobe extensively black (Fig. 52). Posterior surface of anal prolegs dark-marked. Caudal edge of suranal lobe rounded (Fig. 51). Subanal lobe projecting beyond suranal lobe (Fig. 52). Setae on dorsal surface of subanal lobe particularly long and dense.	en	Liston, Andrew D., Goergen, Georg, Koch, Frank (2017): Revisions of the Afrotropical genera of Argidae and species of Pampsilota Konow, 1899 (Hymenoptera, Tenthredinoidea).

46004BEC6EB1AC72443FB6268EF4C4FA.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Pampsilota dahomeyanus adults resemble those of Pampsilota nigeriae and Pampsilota tsavoensis in the nearly entirely yellow colour of the abdomen and thorax underside. Pampsilota nigeriae is separated from Pampsilota dahomeyanus by its predominantly light brown to yellow antenna, entirely yellow propleuron, bicoloured stigma, and very different penis valve (Fig. 26). Pampsilota tsavoensis differs from Pampsilota dahomeyanus in the blackish dorsal part of its mesepisternum, the shape of the serrulae (Figs 29, 30), and in the shape of the valvulae 3: conspicuously divergent in dorsal view, with distinct denticles on the interior surface (Fig. 28), whereas in Pampsilota dahomeyanus the ovipositor sheath is more compact, with the valvulae 3 not diverging distally, and without denticles (Fig. 16). The similarly coloured Pampsilota nigeriae, of which only a single male is known, differs from both species in the predominantly yellow antenna and the bicoloured stigma, and from Pampsilota dahomeyanus especially in the shape of the penis valve (Fig. 26).	en	Liston, Andrew D., Goergen, Georg, Koch, Frank (2017): Revisions of the Afrotropical genera of Argidae and species of Pampsilota Konow, 1899 (Hymenoptera, Tenthredinoidea).

C35AAAFEDB1EF380D4D82E6B1BDB8E23.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Pampsilota zebra resembles Pampsilota africanus in having pincer-shaped valvulae 3 (compact or diverging in all other species), metatibia distally nearly circular in cross section, and in the main colour characters (thorax black except for pronotum and sometimes tegulae, legs partly pale, and abdomen at least ventrally partly pale). Pampsilota zebra differs from Pampsilota africanus especially in its black costa and subcosta (in the latter costa and anterior of subcosta bright yellow). The tegulae of Pampsilota zebra are always black, whereas in Pampsilota africanus they are sometimes bicoloured. Furthermore, the hind tibia of Pampsilota zebra is in contrast to Pampsilota africanus broadly ringed apically with blackish. The serrulae of these species are very differently shaped (Figs 12, 34), but their penis valves are quite similar (Figs 13, 35).	en	Liston, Andrew D., Goergen, Georg, Koch, Frank (2017): Revisions of the Afrotropical genera of Argidae and species of Pampsilota Konow, 1899 (Hymenoptera, Tenthredinoidea).
