The new species, Triraphis pullus sp. n., is nearest to T. tricolor (WESMAEL, 1838) considering their common features: tergites with distinct longitudinal striation, first tergite usually somewhat longer than broad at hind. WATANABE (1970) has described two new Pelecystoma, now Triraphis, species (T. gregarius, T. solitarius) of which the latter name is a junior synonym of T. tricolor, the synonymy is based on the examination and comparison of the paratypes (2 ?? + 2 dd) of T. solitarius with females and males of T. tricolor authenticated by me, i.e. compared with the type series. The three species (T. gregarius, T. pullus, T. tricolor) are distinguished with the following key: 1 (4) Temple in dorsal view (Fig. 1) less constricted. Nervellus somewhat more incurved to base of hind wing, i.e. subbasal cell somewhat less wide and nervellus itself not perpendicularly issuing from n. med. (Fig. 4, arrow). Tergites striated with anastomosis (T. pullus) or longitudinally rugose (T. gregarius). 2 (3) Second tergite less transverse, 1.4 times (?) and 1.15-1.2 times (d) as wide behind as long medially; tergites longitudinally striated with anastomosis; first tergite 1.2-1.3 times (?) and 1.35-1.4 times (d) as long as broad behind, relatively less broadening posteriorly (Figs 5-6). Ocelli small, distance between two ocelli as long as (or slightly shorter than) greatest diameter of an elliptic ocellus (Fig. 1). Body blackish brown with yellow legs. Ç: 4.1-4.2 mm, d: 4 mm T. pullus sp. n. 3 (2) Second tergite more transverse, 1.7-1.8 times (?) and 1.8-2 times (d) as wide behind as long medially; tergites longitudinally rugose; first tergite as long as broad behind (Çd), relatively more broadening posteriorly (Fig. 11). Ocelli large, distance between two ocelli shorter than greatest diameter of an elliptic ocellus (Fig. 10). Body yellow (Çd) with brownish pattern on tergites 1-2 (?). ?: 3.5-5 mm, d: 3-4 mm T. gregarius (WATANABE, 1970) 4(1) Temple in dorsal view (Fig. 9) more constricted. Nervellus somewhat less incurved to base of hind wing, i.e. subbasal cell somewhat wider and nervellus itself nearly perpendicularly issuing from n. med. (Fig. 12, arrow). Ocelli large, distance between two ocelli shorter than greatest diameter of an elliptic ocellus (Fig. 9). Second tergite 1.7-1.8 times (?) and 1.5-1.6 times (d) as wide behind as long medially; tergites striated with less anastomosis (Fig. 13). Body yellow, brownish yellow with more or less brown, dark brown to blackish brown pattern. ?: 4-5 mm, d: 2.5-3 mm. - (= Pelecystoma solitarium WATANABE, 1970) T. tricolor (WESMAEL, 1838) REFERENCES ACHTERBERG, C. van (1991): Revision of the genera of the Afrotropical and W.
