Patellapis (Chaetalictus) timpageleri Timmermann & Kuhlmann 2009, sp. n.
No full text<i>Patellapis (Chaetalictus) timpageleri</i> sp. n. Timmermann <p>(Figs. 108a–g; 109a–h)</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis.</b> The male differs from those of <i>P. sakagamii</i> and <i>P. pulchrinitens</i> in having the clypeus and supraclypeal area densely punctate, whereas <i>P. sakagamii</i> and <i>P. pulchrinitens</i> have a highly polished face with well separated fine punctures on clypeus and supraclypeal area. The male of <i>P. renosterveldi</i> differs from <i>P. timpageleri</i> in the scutal surface, which is completely reticulate in <i>P. renosterveldi</i> and at most partly reticulate anteriorly in <i>P. timpageleri</i>. The male of <i>P. minima</i> is clearly separated from all other species of this species-group in having no hairs on the dorso-lateral projection of the gonostylus. The male of <i>P. spinulosa</i> can be distinguished from that of <i>P. timpageleri</i> by having the scutal surface more sparsely punctate (i= 2,0d) than in <i>P. timpageleri</i> (i= 1,5d). The female of <i>P. timpageleri</i> is similar to that of <i>P. spinulosa</i>. Both can be distinguished by the punctation of the scutum, which is more densely punctate in <i>P. timpageleri</i> (i= 1,5d) than in <i>P. spinulosa</i> (i= 2,0d). Females of all other species belonging to this species-group differ from <i>P. timpageleri</i> in having the scutum completely reticulate.</p> <p> <b>Description</b></p> <p> <b>Female</b>.

No full textPatellapis (Patellapis) hakkiesdraadi sp. n. Timmermann (Figs. 14a–g; 15a–h) Diagnosis. The females have the head wider than long, which separate them from females of P. doleritica. Further, the surface of the paraocular area is slightly dull and sculptured in P. hakkiesdraadi, whereas extensively shiny and without sculpturing in P. doleritica. P. hakkiesdraadi can be easily distinguished from P. richtersveldi, P. impunctata and P. cincticauda by having the scutum and metasomal terga T1–T2 finely and densely punctate and the surface of scutum rather dull than shiny. The males of P. hakkiesdraadi are characterised by a small and angulate apical plate and the head wider than long. In P. doleritica the head is about as wide as long and the apical plate is broad and rounded apically. Both sexes of P. montagui and P. pseudomontagui differ from P. hakkiesdraadi in having the marginal zones of T1–T3 conspicuously more densely punctuate than the rest of the terga.

They can be easily distinguished by the inner hind tibial spur, which is coarsely serrate in <i>P. capillipalpis</i> and finely serrate in <i>P. fynbosensis</i>. Further, they differ in the density of punctation on metasomal terga T2 and paraocular area. <i>P. fynbosensis</i> is densely punctate on these areas, whereas in <i>P. capillipalpis</i> the paraocular area and the disc of T2 are sparsely punctate.
