Genus Afrocampsis van Achterberg & Quicke, 1990 View in CoL View at ENA
Type species: A. griseosetosus van Achterberg & Quicke, 1990 View in CoL .
van Achterberg & Quicke 1990: 156; van Achterberg & Austin 1992: 9; Yu et al. 2016.
The monotypic Afrotropical genus Afrocampsis van Achterberg & Quicke View in CoL was originally described in the subfamily Sigalphinae ( van Achterberg & Quicke 1990) , and in the revision of the sigalphine genera it was separated (together with Malasigalphus View in CoL ) in the tribe Afrocampsini ( van Achterberg & Austin 1992) . However, Afrocampsis View in CoL was later transferred to the subfamily Acampsohelconinae and united here with the genera Canalicephalus Gibson View in CoL and Urosigalphus Ashmead View in CoL ( van Achterberg 2002; Quicke et al. 2008). The relation of these three extant genera was additionally supported on the molecular level ( Quicke et al. 2008; Jasso-Martinez et al. 2022), while the taxonomical position of the fossil genus Acampsohelcon Tobias, 1987 View in CoL ( Tobias 1987) requires additional verification.
Prior to this work, Afrocampsis View in CoL described from Republic of Cameroon and South Africa was monotypic ( Yu et al. 2016). However, the genus is no longer monotypic with a new species described here from material collected in the Kwazulu-Natal Province of South Africa.
