            <p> Sterictophora [sic]  afra Pasteels, 1963: 540-541. Described: male (holotype, MNCN). Type locality:  “Cameroun” (Cameroon). Images of holotype and labels by A. Taeger: http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.746940. </p>
            <p>Notes.</p>
            <p> Sterictiphora afra Pasteels, 1963 has been regarded as the only Afrotropical species of  Sterictiphora , an otherwise Holarctic and Oriental genus. The holotype (examined) is the only known specimen of the species. It is labelled "Kamerun 1898", in the same handwriting as on the label attached to the type of  Clyparge terminalis (Taeger et al. 2014): see under that name above. In the keys by Koch (1988) and Smith (1971, 1992),  Sterictiphora afra runs without problem to  Sphacophilus Provancher, 1888. This genus contains about 50 valid species, distributed in the Neotropical and Nearctic Regions. Species taxonomy of  Sphacophilus is based mainly on females, and males of many species are unknown, or the association of the sexes is problematic (Smith 1992). We were unable to identify the holotype of  Sterictiphora afra to species level, using the keys by Smith (1971, 1992) and reference to several original descriptions. However, the colour pattern of the  Sterictiphora afra holotype is distinctive within this genus. Apart from the recently described  Sphacophilus monjarasi Smith &amp; Morales-Reyes, 2015 (  Monjarás-Barrera et al. 2015), no other known species has this combination of completely black head and thorax, including the entire legs, and an almost completely yellow abdomen.  Sphacophilus monjarasi is unfortunately only known in the female sex. Its type locality is in Chiapas Province, Mexico. In view of the lack of any other evidence for its presence in the Afrotropics, we recommend that  Sphacophilus afer , simultaneously the only representative of the  Sterictiphorinae there, should be removed from the list of Afrotropical sawflies. </p>

            <p> Revision of Afrotropical  Pampsilota Konow, 1899</p>
            <p> Pampsilota Konow, 1899: 76. Type species:  Pampsilota afer Konow, 1899, designated by Rohwer, 1911. Additional images: http://www.waspweb.org/Tenthredinoidea/Argidae/Athermantinae/Pampsilota/index.htm </p>
            <p>Description.</p>
            <p>Antenna has three articles (Fig. 1); scape and pedicel short, flagellum very long and undivided. Clypeus not clearly separated by an epistomal suture from the supraclypeal area, malar space conspicuously present. Meso- and metatibia without preapical spine; tarsal claws simple (Fig. 2). Fore wing with radial crossvein (2r) absent and crossvein 2r-m present, with basal anal cell (1A) closed, and anal cell (2A) long petiolate (Fig. 3); radial cell of hind wing (R1) closed, with anal cell (A) and two middle cells (Rs and M) present (Fig. 3). Tergum 1 with a more or less narrow and deep median split.</p>
            <p>Coloration black with more or less blue metallic lustre, and yellowish or yellow-orange markings. Body length from 5.3 to 15.3 mm.</p>
            <p>Host plants.</p>
            <p> Lannea nigritana (  Anacardiaceae ): only known for  Pampsilota dahomeyanus . </p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> Taeger et al. (2010) catalogued three species of  Pampsilota from the East Palaearctic and Oriental Regions, as well as five valid species from the Afrotropical Region. Only the absence of the preapical spines on the meso- and metatibia distinguishes adults of  Pampsilota from those of  Arge . </p>

            <p> Pampsilota afer var.  maynéi Forsius, 1928: 234. Described: Female [holotype and paratype]. Type locality: Congo Belge [Democratic Republic of the Congo], Bena Bedi. Synonymy with  Pampsilota afer by Pasteels (1953: 115-116). </p>
            <p>Female.</p>
            <p>Figures 4-7, 38-40</p>
            <p>Head, thorax and legs black with blue metallic lustre. Wings strongly infuscate, intercostal area fuscous; substigmal spot inconspicuous; stigma, costa, subcosta and rest of venation black. Abdomen black with blue metallic lustre; at least terga 9/10 and ovipositor sheath yellow-orange.</p>
            <p> Head enlarged behind eyes. Antenna 1.6  × as long as maximum head width; flagellum enlarged towards apex, quadrangular in cross section, interior surface with sharply compressed longitudinal carina, other longitudinal carinae conspicuously more weakly compressed. Interior margins of eyes parallel-sided. Anterior margin of the clypeus circularly emarginate, supraclypeal area gently rounded and protruding up to ventral limit of interantennal carinae. Interantennal carinae obtusely ridged, strongly converging below, extending to the level of ventral margin of torulus. Frons, supraclypeal area and clypeus rugosely sculptured or densely punctate, weakly shiny, vertex and gena sparsely micropunctate, shiny; pubescence light brown. Metatibia distally conspicuously laterally compressed. Mesoscutum nearly impunctate, shiny; pubescence similar to that on head. Abdomen smooth and shiny. Valvulae 3: Figs 4, 5. Lancet with about 24-25 serrulae: Figs 6, 7. </p>
            <p> Length : 10.5-15.3 mm. </p>
            <p>Male.</p>
            <p>Figure 8</p>
            <p> Similarly coloured to female, only tergum 8 and sterna 6-9 yellow-orange. Head very slightly narrowed behind eyes. Antenna 1.8  × as long as maximum head width; flagellum not enlarged towards apex, quadrangular in cross section, flattened apically, interior surface with sharply compressed longitudinal carina, other longitudinal carinae more weakly compressed. Supraclypeal area scarcely protruding up to base of interantennal carinae. Interantennal carinae extending about one quarter of way to clypeus. Other characters as for female. Penis valve: Fig. 8. </p>
            <p>Length: 10.3 mm.</p>

            <p>Distribution.</p>
            <p>Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sierra Leone (Fig. 36).</p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> By its large size and distinctive coloration (infuscate wings; black body and legs, with only abdomen apically pale),  Pampsilota afer is easily distinguished from all other  Pampsilota species. </p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> The coloration of the abdomen varies from the described typical (darker) form to the apical half of the abdomen yellow-orange with terga 5/6 medially more or less black. In these pale specimens sterna 2-4 are basally yellow-orange. This form with a more or less entirely yellow-orange apical half of abdomen was described under the name  Pampsilota afer var.  maynéi Forsius, 1928. Other morphological differences to the nominate form are not detectable. The holotype (MRAC) of  Pampsilota afer var.  maynéi was not examined, but the paratype seems to have been collected on the same date and at the same place as the holotype, and there is no reason to doubt that the specimens are conspecific. </p>
            <p> Pasteels (1953) first described the male of  Pampsilota afer and misleadingly referred to the specimen as the allotype (MRAC). </p>

            <p>Tanzania, Kenya (Fig. 36).</p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> 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). </p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> Pampsilota africanus varies especially in the coloration of the abdomen. Sometimes the black on terga 2/3 is reduced to a small median spot, or as in  Pampsilota africanus var. interruptus terga 2-4 are entirely yellow. No other morphological differences exist between the nominate form and var.  interruptus , and their synonymy by Pasteels (1955) was justified. </p>

            <p>Namibia (Fig. 36).</p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> Together with  Pampsilota luederitzensis , also from southwest Africa,  Pampsilota brandbergensis differs from other  Pampsilota in its body length of maximally 6.0 mm (other species at least 7.0 mm long). The yellow pronotum and entirely black legs of  Pampsilota brandbergensis distinguish it immediately from  Pampsilota luederitzensis , with dark pronotum and largely pale tibia. </p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p>Variability in colour pattern is scarcely noticeable in the two known specimens, except that tergum 5 as well as sterna 3-5 may be entirely yellow, and the pronotum may have a small ventro-lateral blackish spot.</p>

            <p>Larva.</p>
            <p>Figures 51-55.</p>
            <p> Individuals of two instars were examined in detail: GBIF GISHym 21229, total length 13mm, head capsule width 1.4mm; GBIF GISHym 21236, total length 6mm, head capsule width 0.9mm. 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. </p>
            <p>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.</p>
            <p>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.</p>
            <p>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.</p>
            <p>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.</p>
            <p>Prepupa and pupa.</p>
            <p>The trunk of the prepupa (Fig. 58) is darker than the larva, the head paler (mostly brown). The pattern of dark thoracic markings is retained. The pupa (Fig. 59) is at first pale, darkening progressively as it nears eclosion.</p>
            <p>Host plant.</p>
            <p> Larvae were found and reared by G. Goergen at the IITAC on  Lannea nigritana (Scott-Elliot) Keay (  Anacardiaceae ), a small (height 3-6 m), deciduous, heliophilous tree species occurring from Senegal to Gabon, West and Central Africa. </p>
            <p>Natural history.</p>
            <p> Flight period: June to December, peaking in July and October especially shortly after the annual flushing of individual trees of  Lannea nigritana . During peak periods numerous adult sawflies were observed on the host plant. In early October 2014 host trees at the type locality were severely defoliated by  Pampsilota dahomeyanus , and large numbers of larvae of all instars were found together with adults. Oviposition is generally on older leaves, with 1-3 eggs laid singly in slits cut into the leaf-blade, next to the midrib, at the base of a leaflet (Fig. 56). The female sits on the upperside of the leaf during oviposition. Larvae are gregarious (Fig. 53): a group of larvae occupies a whole compound leaf and feeds on plant tissues of all ages. As they mature, larvae turn from dull green to pale yellow. In the laboratory, maturation of the 33 larvae reared from field-collected eggs took about 12 days. When fully grown, the larvae drop onto the soil to spin cocoons. About half of the cohort reared in October 2014 made cocoons, sometimes stuck together, in the leaf litter near the soil surface. Cocoons of the remaining larvae were found at about 5 cm below the soil surface. The cocoon is elongate-oval, about 9 mm long, double-walled, with sand grains attached to the outside (Fig. 57). The outer wall is irregularly netted, the inner wall parchment-like separated from the first by a loose layer of silk strands. Whereas eclosion of the individuals which made cocoons above ground occurred already between 20- 27 October 2014, i.e. 7-14 days after making their cocoons, adults emerged from cocoons made in the ground in the period 8-25 June of the following year, i.e. 207-224 days after entering the ground. In both instances, there was no obvious pattern in the emergence of male and female sawflies. It is concluded that  Pampsilota dahomeyanus has a multivoltine life cycle with polymodal adult emergence. Parasitism: during larval peak periods imagines of an unidentified  Boethus species (  Hymenoptera ,  Ichneumonidae ,  Tryphoninae ) were observed attaching eggs externally to the surface of the larvae. Members of the genus are known as koinobiont parasitoids of  Argidae larvae. This is the first record of  Boethus from West Africa. </p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p>The new species name, a Latinised adjective, refers to the historical West African kingdom of Dahomey, the later Republic of Benin, in which the type locality is situated.</p>
            <p>Distribution.</p>
            <p>Benin (Fig. 36).</p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> 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). </p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> Especially males of  Pampsilota dahomeyanus are highly variable in coloration. Four specimens have an entirely black mesonotum, metascutellum, black tegula, blackish markings on the pronotum and tergum 1, and terga (5)6-8 nearly entirely black. However, no accompanying differences in the shape of the penis valve were detected. Sometimes, in both sexes, the clypeus and the supraclypeal area are marked with dirty yellow. In the material studied, one male was found to have a very small subapical spine on one metatibia. We interpret this as a rare reversion to what may be the plesiomorphic character state. </p>
            <p> General morphology of the larva is very similar to the  Arginae species described by Lorenz and Kraus (1957; in that work represented only by larvae of  Arge ), and Smith (1989). Compared to  Sterictiphorinae ,  Pampsilota dahomeyanus larvae share characters of  Arge : thoracic leg with six articles (at most 5 in  Sterictiphorinae ), abdominal postspiracular lobes without raised or subcutaneous glands (present in  Sterictiphorinae ), subanal lobe without pseudocerci (present in  Sterictiphorinae ). There is no detailed published description of an Afrotropical argid larva with which to compare  Pampsilota dahomeyanus . </p>

            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> Pampsilota leleupi resembles  Pampsilota afer in its large body size, thorax without pale makings, and abdomen at least partly pale, but  Pampsilota leleupi is easily recognised by its extensively pale legs (largely black in  Pampsilota afer ). </p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p>The genitalia preparation mentioned above ("Genit. ♂, H4-47") was not available (personal communication from Stephane Hanot, collection manager at MRAC, 26.02.2015). The illustration of the penis valve is therefore taken from Pasteels (1953).</p>

            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p>The new species name, a noun in apposition, refers to the well-known and widely distributed African ungulate, so named in several European languages.</p>
            <p>Distribution.</p>
            <p>Tanzania. The only known locality lies on the edge of the Udzungwa Mountains National Park (Fig. 37).</p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> 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). </p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p>Intraspecific variability is apparent in the coloration of the dorsum of the abdomen, where the black markings are medially more or less extensive, and the more or less extensively yellow coloured pro- and mesotarsi.</p>
