The male is unknown. Etymology Named after the Keiski Mts south of Calvinia where this species was first collected.

Description Female BODY LENGTH. 5.4 mm . HEAD. Head distinctly wider than long. Integument black, except part of mandibles dark reddish-brown. Face sparsely covered with long, greyish, erect hair ( Fig. 5B ). Clypeus slightly convex with dense (i = d) punctation, apically finer, basally coarser; surface between punctures sculptured and matt ( Fig. 5B ). Malar area medially narrow, almost linear. Antenna dorsally blackish-brown, ventrally yellowishbrown. MESOSOMA. Integument black. Mesoscutal disc between punctures reticulate and matt; disc densely (i = 0.5–1 d) and relatively finely punctate ( Fig. 5C ). Metanotum slightly shorter than basal area of propodeum, apically with narrow carinate depression ( Fig. 5D ). Propodeum basally distinct but very finely carinate ( Fig. 5D ). Mesoscutum, scutellum, metanotum, mesepisternum and propodeum sparsely covered with short, greyish, erect hair ( Fig. 5A ). WINGS. Brownish; wing venation and stigma brown. LEGS. Integument black. Vestiture greyish to yellowish; scopa greyish-white, dorsally brownish. METASOMA. Integument black, apical margins on first terga narrow, on other terga broadly black to translucent dark reddish-brown ( Fig. 5E ). Disc of T1–T2 without hair; following terga with very short but increasingly more and longer hair; apical tergal hair bands missing on all terga ( Fig. 5E ). Prepygidial and pygidial fimbriae relatively short, yellowish-brown. T1–T4 finely and densely (i = 0.5–1 d) punctate, between punctures superficially sculptured and slightly matt; T2–T4 with superficially reticulate but shiny apical tergal depression ( Fig. 5E ). Male Unknown. Distribution Only known from the northern extension of the Roggeveld Mts and the adjacent Keiski Mts. Floral hosts Aizoaceae : Galenia sarcophylla . Seasonal activity September.
