Length. Male: 2.9–3.4mm (mean 3.1mm, 5 specimens)</p><p>Colour (male, Fig. 1 A–C). Generally black to blackish brown. Metope, including proboscis, with yellowish marking at base. Coryphe, pronotum and scutellum medially and costal area of fore wings with dark pits. Anteclypeus and rostrum yellowish brown except apically. Hind legs with yellowish brown markings at dorsal surface of femora, tibiae, base of first tarsomere and on third tarsomere. Coxae and trochanters of all legs with brown or yellowish patches. Propleura brown dorsally, yellowish ventrally. Abdominal tergites with longitudinal irregular yellowish lines medially to last tergite. Abdominal sternites edged with yellow posteriorly and a thin light brown longitudinal stripe medially reaching to tip of abdomen. Thickness and intensity of yellow markings varies with some specimens almost completely black or blackish brown.</p><p>Habitus. Coryphe and metope joined at about 150° angle (Fig. 2 A). Coryphe hexagonal with lateral margin angled to fore margin; posterior margin straight; slightly depressed each side of mid-line (Fig. 1 C). Metope completely visible from above, greatly extended into a finger-like proboscis, cylindrical except slightly laterally compressed at apex, variably tapering to rounded apex in dorsal view, tip medially carinate and sometimes indistinctly laterally carinate, carinae joining at tip; transversely striate basally; strong lateral ledge from below antennae and around eye (Fig. 2 A). Postclypeus large and swollen. Rostrum with apical segment quadrate in lateral view; pre-apical segment three times longer than apical segment. Antennal pedicel with rounded apical process (Fig. 2 B). Pronotum short, shorter than coryphe, flat, without carinae, anterior margin convex and posterior margin straight. Scutellum twice as long as pronotum, without carinae but with a faint median ridge. Brachypterous with fore wings reaching to second visible abdominal tergite, venation obscure (Fig. 1 A). Fore legs with laterally flattened femur and tibiae. Anterior-dorsal margin of tibiae expanded leaf-like, posterior-ventral margin of femur also relatively well expanded (Fig. 2 C,D). Hind tibia with single lateral spine (Fig. 2 F). First metatarsomere approximately as long as second and third metatarsomeres combined, first and second apically with two lateral spines either side of a pad with small pimples (Fig. 2 F).</p><p>Male genitalia. Anal tube (10th segment) rounded and slightly longer than wide in dorsal view, gradually tapering to blunt apex in lateral view (Fig. 2 E). Pygopher very short with hind margin concave, without processes (Fig. 2 H). Style broad in lateral view, upturned apically and produced into an elongate acute processes (capitulum), without lateral tooth, caudo-dorsal angle widely rounded (Fig. 2 G). Aedeagus surrounded by weakly sclerotized hood-like phallobase, the latter forming a more strongly sclerotized ring around aedeagus from which a dorsally projecting strut arises from each side, extended caudally as a pair of broad, laterally compressed asymmetrical lobes, more strongly sclerotized posteriorly, ventro-posterior corner of lobes with several thick black spines. Aedeagus elongate, distal part cylindrical, dorso-ventrally flattened in anterior part, ending in a small nose-like process at the posterior end (in lateral view), with two subapical recurved ventral processes (Fig. 2 I,J).</p><p>Type material examined. Holotype Ƌ, pinned, with genitalia in a separate microvial: “ Zambia, Nkwaji, riverine forest, dung pitfall trap, 20 Oct.–3 Nov. 2013, R. Smith, H. Takano, L. Chmurova and L. Smith ” (NHM) . Paratypes. 6 Ƌ, the same data as the holotype, except 1 Ƌ from “carrion pitfall” and 3 Ƌ from “dry evergreen forest” (NHM) .</p><p>Additional material examined. 1 Ƌ: “ Zambia, Nkwaji, open dambo savannah, yellow pan trap, Oct. 2013, R. Smith, H. Takano, L. Chmurova and L. Smith, (NHM) . 1 Ƌ, same data except: “ pitfall trap, 20 Oct.–3 Nov. 2013 ” (ZIN) .</p><p>Etymology. This species is named after the spines on the phallobase lobes of the penis.</p><p>Remarks. This species can be distinguished by the strongly recurved ventral aedeagal processes and the several thick black spines on the caudal lobes of the phallobase, the latter similar to those found in Gwurra aphrodite Linnavuori (see Gnezdilov &amp; Bourgoin 2009, Fig. 93-94). The species does not run easily to a genus in the key given by Gnezdilov &amp; Bourgoin (2009). It runs to the first part of couplet 7 as its fore tibia are expanded but this choice leads only to two genera neither of which resemble our species. Disregarding this couplet, the species runs to Afronaso Jacobi which is very similar externally but lacks the features of the male genitalia noted above. We therefore tentatively include the species in Afronaso but conclude that it could be placed into a new genus or subgenus in the future.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/EE0D2F6B4023FF904786F29AFE671EB1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Coryphe and metope joined at about 90° angle (Fig. 3 A). Coryphe hexagonal with lateral margin angled to fore margin; posterior margin straight; slightly depressed each side of mid-line.

Pronotum shorter than coryphe, anterior margin very slightly convex, posterior margin straight, smooth. Scutellum smooth, very tip covered in transverse wrinkles. Coryphe, pronotum and scutellum fairly smooth with a few indistinct pits. Brachypterous with fore wings reaching hind margin of the second visible abdominal tergite, venation obscure (Fig. 1 D). Fore tibia quadrate in cross section (Fig. 3 D). Hind tibia with single lateral spine (Fig. 2 G).

Anal tube (10th segment) rounded and slightly longer than wide in dorsal view, gradually tapering to blunt apex in lateral view (Fig. 3 K). Pygopher very short with hind and fore margin concave, without processes (Fig. 3 I).

Aedeagus surrounded by weakly sclerotized hood-like phallobase, extended caudally as a pair of broad, laterally compressed asymmetrical lobes. Aedeagus complex, with a dorsal and ventral lobe the latter with a pair of elongate, acuminate, spirally curved hooks, right hook running underneath the phallobase and protruding from its ventral margin, left hook curved dorsally beneath and above phallobase (Fig. 3 J, L).</p><p>Type material examined. Holotype Ƌ, pinned, with genitalia in a separate microvial: “ Zambia, Hillwood, termite hills, dung pitfall trap, 21–28 Oct. 2013, R. Smith, H. Takano, L. Chmurova and L. Smith ”, (NHM).</p><p>Paratypes. 2 Ƌ, same data as holotype (NHM).</p><p>Etymology. This species is named after the country of collection.</p><p>Remarks. In Gnezdilov &amp; Bourgoin’s (2009) key this species runs to couplet 14 as the male has a globular head etc. The three genera under this couplet (the monotypic Calampocus Gnezdilov &amp; Bourgoin and Issopulex China &amp; Fennah and Savanopulex Dlabola with two species) all have the male similar in appearance to our species, i.e. shiny black and globular. However, our species has features in common with both parts of couplet 14, i.e., the ventral aedeagal hooks are spirally curved as in Calampocus sphaeroides Gnezdilov &amp; Bourgoin but it is similar to the other two genera in lacking a single spine between the outer metatarsomere spines (Fig. 2 F) and the phallobase lacking a large basal process. Other differences between the three genera were summarised by Gnezdilov (2009), i.e., Savanopulex is characterised by an indistinct (weak) sublateral carinae on the metope (Gnezdilov &amp; Bourgoin 2009; fig. 25) and Issopulex gloriosus is characterised by a peculiar shagreen surface of the metope, coryphe, pro- and meso- notum (Gnezdiov 2014; figs.1, 3, 5, 7). We therefore tentatively place the new species in Calampocus noting that although the aedeagal hooks are similarly curved, the left aedeagal hook curves upwards rather than downwards and the lateral phallobase lobes are larger (as in Afronaso) and lack denticles.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/EE0D2F6B4020FF944786F571FB1B1FFC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
