1-2 striate with a few anastomoses, interstriations transversely subrugulose (Fig. 33). Third tergite polished, laterally finely striate. Hind margin of third tergite moderately 1concave (Fig. 34). Body black. Antenna brownish black, palpi brown. Legs reddish yellow, coxae basally brownish. Tegula brown. Wings hyaline, pterostigma brown, veins brownish yellow. Description of the male paratype — Similar to the holotype. Body 2.2 mm long. Antenna with 19 antennomeres. Pterostigma 2.6 times as long as wide, issuing r from its middle, r shorter than half width of pterostigma. Female and host unknown. Distribution: Kenya. With the help of De Saeger's key (1948: 231-234) the new species, Triaspis mervarki sp. n., is nearest to T. terebra (De Saeger, 1948) (Zaire), the distinction between the two species is keyed as follows: 1 (2) Carapace in dorsal view globose, 1.3 times as long as broad at second suture (Fig. 257 in De Saeger 1948: 238); second tergite finely striate and medially with a triangular polished field. Lower margin of clypeus as in Fig. 252 (I.e.). Head in dorsal view twice as broad as long. Propodeum rugulose. Female antenna with 17 antennomeres. Hind tibia apically fumous. 2: 1.8 mm T. terebra (De Saeger) 2 (1) Carapace in dorsal view less globose, 1.6 times as long as broad at second suture; second tergite striate and medially without a polished field (Fig. 33). Lower margin of clypeus convex (Fig. 28). Head in dorsal view 1.8 times as broad as long (cf. Fig. 21). Propodeum rugose (Fig. 29). Male antenna with 22 (holotype) and 19 (paratype) antennomeres. Hind tibia entirely fumous. d: 2.6-2.8 mm T. mervarki sp. n. Triaspis pygmaeus (Szépligeti) (Figs 36-43) Sigalphuspygmaeus Szépligeti, 1913: Annls Mus. Natn. Hung. 11: 601d (syntype series one male), type locality: "Deutsch-Ostafrika: Arusha-Ju" (Tanzania), male holotype (designated by Papp in Shenefelt 1970: 295) in Hungarian Natural History Museum (Department of Zoology, Hym. Typ. No. 583) Budapest; examined. Triaspis pygmaeus (Szépligeti): De Saeger 1948: 215 (in key) and 216 (repetition of the original description by Szépligeti I.e.). - Shenefelt I.e. (literature up to 1948). Material examined (1d) — Male holotype: "Africa or. Katona" ("or." = orientális, first label, printed) - "Arusha-Ju 1905 XII" (second label, printed) - The collector of this species is "Katona", this is a Hungarized form of the original personal name K. Kittenberger (1881-1958), the well-known Hungarian hunter and animal collector in tropical Africa. Redescription of the male holotype of Sigalphus pygmaeus — Body 1.8 mm long. Antenna about as long as body and with 21 antennomeres; second flagellomere just longer than first flagellomere and four times as long as broad apically, further flagellomeres progressively shortening so that penultimate flagellomere 1.66 times as long as
